Let's talk about lightning grenades

No seriously do you think they should be nerfed and why? I simply don't understand their cone of damage at all and so I can't stand them but I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on them. Edit: I'm not calling for a nerf. I legitimately just want the cone of damage to be more visually defined.

  • They should make tripmine radius same as lightning.

    • Let's talk about your hunter. You have the 3 strongest pvp supers right now, good grenades, decent looking armor, and don't even get me started on your nightstalker.

      • I live off of lightning grenades. But imma beast with my placement, I hate all the dumbasses who chill in my grenade for a solid 4 seconds and think the 'nade deserves a nerf for killing them! Tired of scrubs ruining a good game. I miss year one. I miss strong primaries and low TTK. #MakeDestinyGreatAgain

      • I am basically a scrub when it comes to PvP, and I cannot remember the last time I was killed by a Lighting grenade. Of all the things to Whine about.

      • I'd just like the pulse to be uniform so we're 100% on the visual like with the other grenades for their area of effect. While they do look cool the way they spiral and such it's annoying to have to think "really...that hit me?"

        • If you die from Lightning Grenades consistently in PvP, there is something legitimately wrong with you.

          No, you need to place the grenade well and they aren't one hit kill machines and they don't even track. It may have a big cone, but the grenade stays in one place. ~[i]TheGreatNike[/i]

          • I don't think they're OP, people just need to realise "Oh, a lightning nade, time to move waaay back." and before anyone looks at my 3 titans, I run flashbangs. I can't chuck lightnings for shit.

            • Considering they have a HUGE range area and take about 80% of my health per tick I find them annoying... But I'm not gonna scream OP at them, I just wish us HUNTERS had a grenade that actually has a chance to kill now (apart from flux that can be sponged) :(

              • I don't like them because I still die when I feel as if I'm out of their reach. It makes you have a split moment when you say that's -blam!-ing bullshit. So idk not a nerf, but their area of damage needs to be made clear. Also they are by far the best out of the three grenades. Trip has damage fall off, rarely kills, and only does one blast. The void sucks being a constant stream because the enemy literally has to stand in it for it to do anything.

                  I said this on another post. 1 tick= 140 damage 2 tick= 100 damage 3 tick= 60 damage 4 tick= 20 damage. It makes sense that the grenade loses its "juice" the longer its active. I personally think they are fine where they are but this is just an idea that bungie should take if they do end up nerfing them.

                      • It's a cone of area that Will be subjected to damage every 1.5 seconds. The cone seems to have a 35 degree angle from the base of the grenade outward, for all directions. Kinda like a waffle cone that shoots lightning and you can walk through. It's basically spike grenade cone, but less constant.

                          • My problem with Lightning Grenades isn't their damage, range, or cone of effect. My problem is that they don't telegraph their area of effect very well.

                            • My only problem really has nothing to do with them. Bungie nerfed Firebolts which never killed anyone by themselves but lightning gernades and fusions will. Why bungie caters to the crybabies is beyond me

                              • I don't have a problem with lightning grenades. They can be shot and destroyed. Only thing I don't like on strikers is juggernaut, but even that is just me being nitpicky.

                                • What's worse than lightning nades are the fukin scatter nades with tracking. There fun to use but if you're on the receiving end they are ridiculous
