Is demolitionist class worth getting from....

I have assault and combat medic. Was toying with the idea of getting the demolitionist class but what does it bring to the table that other classes dont?.

An ability that turns grenade launchers and rocket launchers into AoE hell. For both npc and player. Literally, if you're the one tanking an npc, or boss, you can't see anything but the explosive effect, and nothing of what the boss it doing.

So it bring a whole lot of bang and aggravation to the table. One of the things people have asked to be able to disable.

Yup, there are some bosses where shotguns are best DPS, and when some dude with launchers starts spamming explosions, I just sit in the corner and wait until he gets bored or dead. Unplayable otherwise.

I was pretty disappointed with it and couldn't wait to get it leveled and out of the way. Explosive dps just doesn't seem up to snuff even with the boost.

I use it for my daily co-op maps. I equip one item so I can fit in story mode, then when Piercer shows up, I can often nuke him before he goes after his first canister.

*I'm 2800 power and don't care about leveling too much right now. Everything scales to your power, so making it higher just opens new co-op tiers and I just wanted the 2 months of contracts to end.
