Getting straight to my point, I think that the spike grenade is by far the worse grenade in this entire game.
-Its extremely slow
-Has a pitiful duration
-Disgraceful damage
-Extremely obvious
At most it serves as an entertaining light show at the end of a match when you are simply waiting for the game to end.
Out of my experience I've seen that grenade used only in the very first months of vanilla Destiny, and anyone who is aware of the meta of crucible doesn't seem to use it. Not once have I seen it used in trials. I am not saying that it's nearly non existent use in end game crucible is proof of it's lack luster properties but a indication.
Alternatively the Nightstalker could receive the suppressor grenade from the Defender subclass which I feel would work more with the new void hunter class "crowd control" like appearance. Please Bungie, reconsider this choice, seeing how TTK isn't out yet I know it is very possible to make this minor tweak to the new expansion.

1 RespuestaI use spike grenade to shut down doors, it needs at least double the duration though.

3 RespuestasInstead of recycling the same grenades Bungie should give all three classes completely new grenades instead. I know that each class is getting one new grenade but the new grenades don't even seem that great. I'm pumped for the new subclasses but I was really disappointed to see that they're reusing the same grenades and that none of the classes are getting a different jump or armor/recovery/agility setups. Hunters are also getting smoke bombs attached to their melee like how the throwing knife works though so as far as the Nightstalker not getting the best grenades I think that evens things out a little bit. Warlocks get an even longer range melee and unfortunately Titans don't get anything cool attached to theirs. I'd be fine with the Nightstalker getting a better grenade when the Sunbreaker Titan gets a better melee. It's dumb that the Titan(which is supposed to be the melee class) has the worst melee in the game

I have never been killed by a spike grenade. [spoiler]Let me be a little more precise. I have never even been damaged by a spike grenade.[/spoiler]

I own a pillow

I love it!!
-
It seems OP that they would have a grenade that shuts down supers along with a super that shuts downs super in a waaay bigger radius
-
Give us hunters as much suppression as possible!
-
1 RespuestaNo. Hunters don't need it. You already have a super that will suppress others. Bad enough when defender titans ruin my radiant skin with that grenade
-
So use the new grenade instead
-
shhh... Hear that? That is the world's tiniest violin playing the world's saddest song
-
I think the grenade itself needs a damage buff and maybe a little duration buff but the kind of grenade is super fun
-
Completely agree OP. If they want to make the Nightstalker a support class, the Suppression grenade is the most support-esque tool of the defender Titan besides the bubble.
-
It's a great grenades type It's just the way it does damage makes it worse then lightning That being said its still good
-
Every triple kill ive ever gotten has been with that grenade. Its actually good. Its just the magnetic grenades are better

5 RespuestasHow do you know it sucks? You haven't even played it yet.

Bump Spike grenades blow

2 RespuestasI use it every now and then with armamentarium. It's decent although it [i]does[/i] have a very low duration. It's got a wider area of effect than the lightening grenade though. What's the third grenade that night stalker is going to have? Vortex?
-
3 RespuestasNo. Balance is key, if everything they do suppresses then it would make other classes have a huge disadvantage.

36 RespuestasLove your truly biased poll, by the way. Spike grenade is fantastic if you use it right; being chased or rushed? Stick it on a doorway or corridor wall to stop enemies for a second or two and escape. Group taking a point? Stick it on the wall behind them and drain everyone before mop up with an AR someone entering your bubble? Stick it on the floor and punch them as they run through Deny a heavy spawn with it Deny a stairway Deny a camper around the corner ...my favourite is to put it on the wall down the stairwell on rusted lands as the enemy run up with heavy. They come up the stairs, take a little damage and run in to my bubble as I one punch them to death.
-
I got killed by it in trials.... I dismantled my score card right after..
-
Supresor would be kind of op. If we have a suppressing super then why the 'nade. I think they need to buff spike.
-
Nightstalker should get a grenade that only damages themselves.
-
It should keep the grenade as it is, if you care about changing it just because 2 classes now have it why did no one complain before when only defender had it, defender is so crap that you can't use it well
-
I think it should be a suppressor grenade cuz the whole class revolves around just debuffing enemies!
