Question about using Grenadiers over Steady Aim for Marauder. Top clearers seem to choose Grenadiers over Steady Aim - is the bonus really better than potential 20% extra dmg?
i think grenadier better bcs it always proc, not like steady aim which only proc if u stay a few radius from ur enemy, which it not happen often since enemy will come at you faster

Play style makes a difference. If you’re grouping up enemies into large packs, as most top players do when pushing, then Grenadiers is better by far. If you don’t do that, and you can keep Steady Aim active (I really wish it had an icon), then Steady Aim is better.

It’s important to look at their paragon in this case scenario.
Those with high paragon, especially in the 10k range can do things that others can’t. They drop steady aim because they’re aiming to hit every oculus ring, which often spawns close to mobs. This is a good strategy, but it only works if you can survive standing in it, which high paragon players can do.
Most people won’t have near that paragon to survive doing such a tactic and have to move/vault around quite a bit. This is where zei’s and steady aim become better picks, and you’d drop ambush (rather lackluster passive) for grenadier instead.
