oaceen Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 not sure if anyone else has noticed (or maybe i'm late to the party and TOTALLY missed the patch notes), but sticky grenade and assault plastique no longer share a cooldown. it's not much, but it's an actual buff to assault, moreso for commandos i think since our range on assault plastique is +20m over vanguards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMB Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Well thats news to me actually since I just noticed that too. But double grenades = more ammo loss. But really it shouldn't be too much of a problem if you manage ammo right. So yeah a slight gain to dps on the assault end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchangelLBC Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 It's kinda funny to toss two in PVP, but I can't say I feel like it balances out the nerfs. Gives the spec a little bit more burst which is always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyronamics Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Well thats news to me actually since I just noticed that too. But double grenades = more ammo loss. But really it shouldn't be too much of a problem if you manage ammo right. So yeah a slight gain to dps on the assault end More ammo loss? How do you figure that? Takes the same time to fire a 2 ammo grenade as a 2 ammo Charged Bolts. More importantly it's an uninterruptible attack which increases the number of ways you can fight back vs a melee in pvp. It is only a DPS buff when you are facing a pack as you then have the AOE of the sticky plus the higher single target damage of the plastique, both of which will do more damage than another CB. Vs single targets you'd still primarily use the Assault Plastique but if forced to move too much and you have plastique and HiB on CD and can't do a free/instant plasma then using a sticky is viable.

rob_y Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 not sure if anyone else has noticed (or maybe i'm late to the party and TOTALLY missed the patch notes), but sticky grenade and assault plastique no longer share a cooldown. it's not much, but it's an actual buff to assault, moreso for commandos i think since our range on assault plastique is +20m over vanguards It's definitely a PvP buff. You can pretty much stay on the move constantly, only stopping for Full Auto and do good damage now. It makes kiting a lot easier. On top of that, as someone else mentioned - the added burst is great (any delayed damage ability is fantastic for burst). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
