The Grenadier

Would be some sort of action movie hero wannabe who makes really awful one-liners all the time.

His action skill would have him pull off a grenade launcher that is modeled after the M32 MGL (google image that sh*t). It would have a 6 shot clip and and would do explosive damage without upgrades, and obviously would have infinite ammo from the fact it's an action skill. These grenades would explode upon contact with any enemy or surface and would fly in an arc like an actual grenade launcher's rounds. The closer round explodes to an enemy, the more damage it does, doing the most damage on a direct hit.02 The grenades, just like a rocket launcher, can damage you.

The 3 trees would be:

An elemental tree focusing on dealing elemental damage. Similar to Gaige's anarchy tree, the first set of skills would have one that only takes 1 point, and one that takes 4 points. The one that takes 1 point would give you the ability to switch your grenade launcher elemental alignment (except slag) by pressing the action skill button/key again. It would have glowing lights that change color, looking similar to an E-Tech. The rest of the tree would do things along the line of increasing elemental damage/longevity and increasing elemental defense. There would also be a skill that makes it so you can't light yourself on fire/corrode/shock yourself so you aren't obliterated by your own DoT if you accidentally shoot a grenade that's close to you.

A support tree based around helping out your team. The final skill would give you the option to switch to slag element (obviously not included in the aforementioned skill in the elemental tree because raining a high amount of slag explosives with an infinite ammo grenade launcher without heavily investing in a certain tree would be kinda dumb, that and the fact that the elemental tree is more about DoT). The rest of the tree would include things such as a skill that gives your grenade launcher a louder firing sound that makes enemies focus on you and a 1 point skill that makes it so that your grenade rounds bounce on surfaces so you can hit enemies around corners, but it still explodes on contact with enemies (similar to the Demoman's grenade launcher from Team Fortress 2).

Finally, we have a tree about doing raw damage and tanking damage. Obviously, there would be a skill that increases damage of the grenade launcher, but there would also be things that increase the clip size of your grenade launcher, increase the reload speed, increase blast radius, and increase your explosive resistance from yourself and from enemies (your self damage reduction would probably be double the damage reduction of enemy explosive damage). There would also be a skill that makes it so your grenades fly farther and faster. There would also be a skill increasing the effectiveness of your throwable grenades.

P.S. There HAS TO BE a skill which has red text saying "It's really powerful, especially against living things!"

P.P.S If you don't get that joke, please go play the original Resident Evil.
