At least do all three if your gonna do it.
But why nerf them now anyway? Are they really that bad now that we only carry 2? Also, when was the last time you saw a fused locus in the kill feed?
They don't put a dent in heavies anymore, but it was good for killing break scouts(non Caldari anyway)

CCP Rattati said that they wanted people to try using other grenades. I'm sticking with my locus. I always go for explosive grenades over more tactical ones.

As the above poster said, they want to make it less obvious to use Locus. Another part is that they want to encourage people to actually use higher level grenades. At the moment, there is no real reason to use Prototype and maybe even Advanced Grenades. By dropping the damage of basic grenades from 400 to 300 (25%) they can encourage people to use the better grenades. Probably won't work though as grenades are more of a finisher or starter weapon than straight killer in this game.

Yep, remote explosives are better. May be CCP should allow 2 for std, 4 for adv, and 6/7 for proto to make it worth it. |

I use my fluxes to take down tank shields before I blow my REs and for taking out uplinks. Especially uplinks I can't otherwise reach.

Thread title wrote:I'm not sure why we are lower dmg for STD and ADV grenades. Who said "we"? This was one of the few changes that wasn't based on community feedback. Rattati explained it once or twice, but I don't get the reasoning behind it. Grenades are kinda ok right now. Why change that?

Why don't you compare the blast radius on your fluxes to a sleek locus.

And instead of Rattati's proposed 'encourage people to specialize into pro locus', why doesn't CCP finally admit the MLT/STD/ADV/PRO tier system is terrible and has no place in New Eden and just adopt an EVE (post metacide) system? All of our problems would disappear over night.
The basic / enhanced / complex tier system is the same thing with a different name and frustratingly not abbreviate.

Haha any other FPS, you die when you are close enough to the grenade. In Dust, you can stand on a couple and still survive with plenty of hp remaining! Ha! That tickles!

Does this mean i have to walk up the stairs to get those cowering red dots, instead of just throwing a couple of M1's at them?

It kinda makes sense as like no one has Grenadier to 5 except the core locus chasers from 4 months ago and the people who got it on Uprising Launch.
The most the average Mercenary has thats sitting with 30 mil SP + is Grenadier 3 and uses M1 locus.
CCP Rattatata Doesn't understand that people didnt spec fully into grenades because of fitting costs and it being to tight for what advantages you get from it. With changes making armor suits even tighter for fitting costs.
This will ultimately just hurt New players to middle of the road players in favor of forcing some vet's to specialize in grenades. And between core fitting skills to fit them on your suit and grenadier lvl 5 with everything else on a new players plate.
