Yes skip grenades need to be nerfed. Most players use Viking funeral as an offensive tactic. One shot to the body with a scout or hand cannon, and chuck a firebolt at them. Then watch them burn out. Every warlock I run into nowadays runs tlw, and shotgun. It's either slide, shotgun, melee. Or firebolt from around a corner and rush in and finish off. If I'm to avoid any of that I'm gonna sit back and hard scope a corner every time I see something on my radar. Viking funeral give a warlock 10+ seconds to finish of enemy. All the need to do is deal about 40 damage to them.

Edited by thMadHatter83: 4/7/2016 11:41:29 AMI agree. I think the shotgun meta is a major cause for this. The shotgun play style is so aggressive and when it goes well its like a tidal wave; people get addicted to that and don't know how to do anything else. My nephew for example has 12x more special weapon kills in Crucible than primary, 12x more! Now in his defense, he is a 10yr old shotgun wizard and can make things happen that are really incredible. He doesn't know any other way tho and without special ammo he's lost. There's a lot of variables in something like this and hopefully these changes post Apr12 will be an overall improvement.
