il-jumper Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Hello, Does Explosive Engineering from Engineer Tree (T2) increases damage of Corrosive Grenade?
kaiserpants Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 yes it does tested it with and without the talent in a duel although it was not a 15% increase exactly (12% or so iirc probably due to player damage reduction)
themendios Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Unless that changed with 1.1, the consensus has always been no. I'd like to hear from someone else. Edited January 23, 2012 by themendios
Ayestes Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Indeed.... I've had three sources tell me differently. Time to waste some credits!
Waylandyr Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 You know what would make this easy to see? A combat log. Oh wait...
bodatious Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 checked yesterday. The tooltip for CG shows more dmg when you take the talent. I can only assume that means it is doing more dmg.

SacredDarksoul Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 I thought this was long ago confirmed to increase the initial damage of the grenade but not the DOT effect?
JoyProtocol Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) I thought this was long ago confirmed to increase the initial damage of the grenade but not the DOT effect? That is exactly what I have heard; sounds right, too Edited January 26, 2012 by JoyProtocol
Aiwan Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I thought this was long ago confirmed to increase the initial damage of the grenade but not the DOT effect?Which would make perfect sense in what the skill describes it does. It increases the damage of our aoe damage skills - but the poison dot is not an aoe in itself (if applied to a target, it only affects this target and all within like 5m of him).

il-jumper Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 Hmm question is, is it worth getting it? Targeted Demolision from Lethality makes Frag Grenade hits hard...
Carbonated Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 If you have uses for it, Like Frag grenade and Explosive probe are ok and good in that order.
vimm Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 It might work, but on the other hand, it might not. Hope that helps.
Easelman Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 It might work, but on the other hand, it might not. This is the clearest explanation and probably the most reliable. This makes it clear to me, I may or may not get it.
Ayestes Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I may (or may not) understand what is going on here.
Carbonated Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 http://imageshack.us/f/542/cgren.jpg/ this should clear it up. Gm confirming that Corrosive Grenade is NOT an AOE effect, therefore both related talents do not affect it.
QisaBluevixen Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 This post inspired me to spend a few hours last night and this morning actually testing this. To see the surprising results see this post: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=2268473#post2268473
