From what I saw/understood, there will only be 3 new nades, 1 for each subclass. The other 2 in each will be reused from the current ones available in the other equivalent subclasses.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see some near duplicates, like the Arcbolt and Firebolt are very similar, but I'd bet almost anything Bungie will not reuse the exact grenades and those were just in there for placeholders during E3.

But regardless of this, you are correct. They cannot be worse than the spike is now, even if they make 9 new nades! If one of them is, It'll probably be for the Arc Warlock and be the equivalent of a water balloon. Now that I think about it though, that would still be better than the Purple glow stick. I can see hunters slipping on the wet floor, off ledges to their death. Stupid hunters.

You forgot all of the new grenades we will have in TTK. They can not be worse than the spike grenade.

Blah.

9. Scatter (w/tracking only)

I love scatter in PvE! With Bloom, you can do massive damage very easily.

I really like that there is no "best" grenade. Depending on how you play, there's a style for each player. I do think that the spike is clearly the worst grenade period. It does damage like a Vortex, but only in a small cone and only for a short period of time. Maybe if they had an exotic armor that would widen the cone and increase the duration by about 3 secs.

I'd at least put Scatter without tracking down at 17. I was never killed by or got a kill from them before they could track. I'd also move Axion Bolt down some. It's powerful but it takes too long in PvP. And I'd move Solar / Vortex down near the bottom. While they are powerful if you enemy is really distracted, I'd much rather have a grenade that did its damage in an instant like a Flashbang or Arcbolt than something an enemy can just walk out of.

Also, I'm dismayed to see you gave the Spike grenade a ranking at all! They'd have to double that things power, duration, and range for me to even consider using it. :)
