Pretty clear (and honest) question. I've always heard/ read that Grendel is garbage, crap tier and useless. I build him as MR fodder, as was surprised to see how he's very fun to play, as not bad at all. Not SP material, I agree, but not crap as most of people say. So, why people keep thinking that?

Mind that I just subsume nourish on rhino and feel like he does almost the same thing a bit better, but grendel isn't useless

I'm on my 10th day straight of playing nothing but Grendel and pretty much this, but I've been filling as much as my brain as possible with the version of Grendel players often give feedback on for tweaks, but I feel like I need much more time in a bigger breadth of content to really maximize everything he offers... I am super enjoying him.
