Why grenade sucks (this is a response in reference to the famous video of grenade actually being used):

First of all, that video indicates roughly a 15 second set up period in which to spam bomb. In that time, she threw 12 bombs which would shave off roughly 10k damage (one fifth if i remember right) of a risell squid. In that 15 seconds, i could fire off 22 invisible shots or triple fires.

Invisible shot: 10,560% damage in 15 seconds. (480% (or 160% x 3) x 22)
Burst fire: 13,860% damage in 15 seconds. (630% x 22)
MAXED GRENADE (which because i know for a fact before even calculating this will be out damaged by burst fire): 5040% damage in 15 seconds. (420% (140% x 3) x 12)

Not to mention that grenade has it's own damage formula, which seems to ignore mastery but i am not sure. There's also the fact that if you're hitting 6 monsters, the hit box that grenade has is fairly small. Small enough to miss one of the monsters, lowering it's already bad damage.

Even if you doubled grenades hits to 6 monsters, you'd get 10,080% (840% x 12) damage in 15 seconds.
