Pros
There are two huge pluses to picking this grenade. The first one is that this grenade has a huge radius that can reach people around corners. This is very useful when you know that someone is camping behind something or when someone is running away. The enemy does not have to be in your sight at all and you can be rest assured that you hit them with this. One scenario that often occurs with me is I start shooting someone and they run and hide behind something, I toss one of these and it cleans them up for an easy kill.
The other huge plus to this grenade is that it is frontloaded damage. Instead of having to wait a few tics for someone to take some damage from your solar grenade (during which time you could be killed), this grenade provides instant damage. Why is this important? Because it will put you ahead in any firefight. Throw out a firebolt and the opponent's shield is now gone, you still have yours, and all you have to do is finish them off while they still have to go through both your shield and your health bar (assuming you don't also have your flame shield up). This allows you to play a bit more aggressively and give you the best chance at preserving a respectable k/d ratio.
Another Pro to this grenade is that it doesn't really require any aiming. It has a pretty good radius so that makes it very forgiving for all you bad grenade throwers out there.
And finally, with radiance up you will be doing some insane AoE Damage and killing everything with this grenade. The AoE of the solar can be dodged easily and the fusion grenade has to be aimed... but using this grenade in radiance allows you to just spam it all day until the cows come home....there will be fiery explosions EVERYWHERE!
Cons
he only real con to this grenade is that it doesn't have the ability to get a kill on its own. If an opponent is at full health it will not kill them, rather it will take their shield down and maybe a little more (usually if you have Touch of Flame on you'll get more than the shield). With this in mind, be ready to get the killing blows with your weapon/melee. As touched on earlier, the solar grenade has a higher kill potential because it can take someone from 100-0 while this cannot. However, I do not see this as a big issue because you will already be so far ahead that you should get the kill anyway, or if you started out shooting... assuming you landed a few hits, this will land you the KB while you reload or something. Additionally, I've ran into many situations where multiple opponents were already low due to my teammates and this grenade has mopped them all up at once (it will hit up to 3 enemies).
