LOL. Engi grenades can explode in your face too

[Rynara-turalyon]

Tinkers catastrophical malfunction is one thing. It needs to be fixed to make tinker viable (and reduce its cd) but today I found out that even simpler engineering products can also explode in your face for 50% hp. Lol. Its difficult anyway to find something useful in engineering atm but this? I found sticky warp grenade. Thought myself “ok, this may be useful finally” but then I tried it, 3 times in a row it exploded in my face and killed me…

Imagine playing a ranged class and use it when fury warrior is attacking you. You use it and it explodes for 150k+ damage (only to you ofc). Yup, engineering is amazing.

And whats even funnier, engi cant craft any bombs that do decent damage to the enemy. You can get one bomb from dragonscale expedition that inflict massive 17k damage to the enemy. You cant deal any damage but its still can explode in your face for 150k health.

Sure, with higher quality grenades likelihood of explosion is lowered but the prices re ridiculous and make it unusable. Rank 1 warp grenade costs only 10g but rank 2 is 500g on my server, per ONE.

Yup, Im officially done with engi until it gets some HEAVY fixes.

At the moment if you use 2 engi tinkers and try to use engi grenades every time you use them you have a chance of killing yourself. I dont know who designed this but this guy really wanted people to not using engi at all.

There are profession knowledge skills that reduce the chance for bombs to blow up in your face, but most of them are in the “Explosives”-spec, which is a rather heavy investment since, until you’re pretty deep in there, using bombs is pretty much creative suicide…

Nose For Trouble has been broken all this years what it do is I take 0% damage of the first damage hit i take this also protects me from malfunction …
