Incendiary Grenades are AMAZING (Destiny)

They bounce around corners or over cover, the burn lasts just as long as Firebolts, the blast radius is pretty big, and they can one-shot from outside Line of Sight, unlike most grenades.

Still not as good as Firebolts, but definitely better than Arcbolt.

I have heard a lot of people who love these - I ran with them a decent amount with my Titan, and I did OK with them. They remind me of Halo Frag grenades, but I always had trouble landing them right with the speed of Destiny. I do think with more time, I could probably get better.

There is a definite skill gap in the game with regards to grenades. Some are SUPER easy to use (Bolt-types, Stick Grenades, Sphere AoE types) and then with sticky and fuse grenades it feels like they have unique skills required. Sticking takes a bit of skill, timing, and correct predicting (or luck!), and the fuse types require a lot of skill, timing, and correct predicting (or luck). I swear for every on purpose Incendiary kill I've got, I have one that happens by complete accident.

It could just be me though. I ran for a long time with Suppression grenades (the other fuse grenade) trying to master them, and I just couldn't get any reliable consistency with them.
