Which do you think is more useful? Lasers are fairly powerful and can hit many enemies in a straight line, but they are slow and take forever to level up. Grenades are very strong and can disperse groups of enemies by knocking them around, but again they are slow and take a while to level (they only time I really use one is again De Ragan).

You can use Grenades to Stunlock some of the bigger monsters like Grinna Bete C and Kagajibari.

Lasers are only useful if you have the Ult PA to go with them.

they are both very situational. As a fT I do enjoy the mobs being knocked TOGETHER into walls or out of my path affording me the time to safely support the party with buffs/debuffs. Just be sure you don't go into NoobGunner status knocking everything APART when they were all tightly grouped ala tornado dance.

i luvz mah launcher. no seriously i love the grenade launcher, it has become one of my favorite weapons. its just powerful and fun. useful on most bosses, and most big enemies with more than one target. i cant even describe how easy de ragan is with a grenade launcher. but as said before, it is situational.

Grenade Launcher

Laser

Really. I don't see why people use lasers. Laser PA's are useless even if the party has no idea what it's doing.

This poll fails because both have situational perks. Lasers are favorable for small, fast targets and some medium sized ones. I fire randomly and get the attention of what I can.

Bunched up small fry = easy TECH *cough*barta*cough* targets.

Grenade launchers are better for medium to large targets for knock-back/down. Keeps the fighters safe till thier 3rd combo stage.

If by "rapes" you mean "looks cool" then I agree.
