Accuracy & Grenade

[allan_repollo]

Does the Accuracy stat have any impact on Grenade skills by the Mercenary? Enemies with high Evasion has high chance to not get hit by Grenades directly exploding in their feet.

Been playing for more than 80+ hrs as a Grenade Mercenary, didn't bother with Accuracy stats. But I never ran into a problem with my Grenades missing enemies at direct explosion.

What are your thoughts?

iirc the AoE part of the grenade is just an AoE, so it cant 'miss'?

Innately dodge can't trigger on aoe. For the player. If we assume same rules apply to enemies it shouldn't matter really. Whether you miss your explosive shot or not doesn't matter that much either, as it's main job is to detonate your grenades.

So is Accuracy stat needed on a Grenade Mercenary build?

Real answer is I have no idea. I'm actually playing my own makeshift grenadier rn and I didn't bother with any accuracy on the tree. I'm blasting through the game with zero hiccups. Wipe entire screens and chunk bosses in under a minute. If accuracy was an issue it would only become apparent post campaign in maps. I was just using the same logic game uses for player dodge. Since if you want to dodge aoe you have to pick a keystone on the tree. Otherwise no bueno.

no

accuracy counts for attacks.

read tooltips, it is what they are for. . .specifically the AOE one


. . .no need to make a post about it ghawd.




Edit: awww I hurt someones fee fees, what a chump.

Like evasion, accuracy has no effect on an AOE attack like grenades

Accuracy is for single hit type weapons (a single bolt for example, or armor piercing or sniper shot)

It really depends on the specifics of the build and what other skills are in use or are planned to later to be used to synergise with the grenades.

If you really do intend to just use grenades AoE damage and practically no other source for all of your main damage output, then you really wouldn't see much of a gain from accuracy.

However I doubt such a build would really be sustainable for long and would start to hit scaling issues moving into the later game without some additional skills in play that may benefit from accuracy.

What skills would those be? Can you please give me an example?
