Firebolt grenades have had a terribly slow activation timer since their nerf in THE HOUSE OF WOLVES.
I have wanted to use them since their nerf like 6 years ago when they were too powerful due to the Viking funeral thing I used to main but even with their change at the beginning of the season their activation timer is still way to slow to hit targets.
Even in PVE, targets sometimes move just a little too much once the grenade lands and though you would expect the nade to hit, it just doesn’t target.
This is the only real thing holding this grenade back and makes it very frustrating to use. Just match its targeting timer to arcbolt or give it the pre House of Wolves timer and it will work as intended again.

One other issue I found out is that the grenade can’t target players that are in the air, thus one just has to jump in order to avoid being hit, unlike what happens with arcbolt. The grenade does almost no damage, so it’s only useful to proc surplus or consuming a grenade. Addressing this 2 issues will not make it op.
