Specific question about Arc Soul and mods

[Les Grossman]

This is pretty important: does Arc Soul created from grenade with Escape Artist count as grenade damage? Because I'm sure as hell, f.e. HHSN did count as grenade.

If no one knows for sure, is there any way to find out?

Also, does Distribution Mod even work or effect is pretty much unnoticeable? Is it adviced to even put in slot?

An issue with the orb mods is once you're full on power it stops picking up orbs.

Another way around this is to get the Wendigo grenade launcher. IMO, it's a very good reason to get Wendigo. You can then stack up mods in your class item that do various cool downs as you pick up Orbs, and Wendigo allows you to _always_ pick up orbs, even if your super is fully charged, so you are always able to trigger those mods when you have Wendigo equipped and there are orbs around. Or effects like shield regen starts/heal when picking up orbs...can make you really difficult to kill when orbs are readily available.

In PvE content where there are lots of people that are just dropping tons of orbs all the time, it's crazy how quick/often you'll get all your abilities back and/or how hard it is to get killed.

I was more concerned about PVP, and orb drop rate there is low at best, so I have no idea what mod to replace Distribution with...
