You don't know what you're talking about. Golden Gun isn't clutching anything in PvE. Solar Flare grenades with the new Viking Funeral are more viable than they've ever been before, and Fusion grenades as well. Sure, your grenades can't one hit kill anymore but only lingering and sticky grenades are capable of that now. Looking at gunslingers, throwing knives, incendiary grenades, and tripmines are now worthless. All of which were capable of one shotting low armor guardians and now they can't. Your grenades still serve a great purpose and received a nerf similar to the arcbolt nerf. However, you can still set people on fire AND deal extra damage during that time.
