Should I max flame thrower?

Well, while praying to the golden thigh statue in my room at midnight I decided to dust off my old outlaw...
And well, I'm confused... o_o Was grenade always spammable? It feels as fast as friggen hurricane.
It seems to be a really good mobbing skill but I'm not sure if it's better than max flamethrower + ice splitter.
(I kinda wanna max Gaviota too cause err... I like summons).

@Saltybandaid: As far as I can tell or remember from reading, spamming Grenade is more efficient than FT + IS. That combo is only to make the best use of DoT and freezing from IS (if you really wanted to freeze, you could use Blank Shot, in my opinion; that's what I used to do). Not to mention, the freezing and DoT are only useful on mobs with a large amount of HP that you expect to take a long time to kill. Either way, Grenade is better in its current state.

The revamp is 'expected' to come late in the summer, meaning it hasn't been confirmed yet (something that causes a lot of pirates some grief).

You don't really have to max Flamethrower if you're just waiting on the revamp. When it comes, Grenade and Flamethrower, along with all those other skills, will be disappearing. So, for example, if you just want to have fun with Gaviota while it lasts, then go right ahead; we're getting SP resets and all anyway.[/quote]

Oh well, thanks.
Grenade hasn't been d/cing me, but it makes me a bit laggy every 10 minutes or so which is bearable.
Assuming that, would it be better for me to use Grenade, or Flamethrower + Icesplitter?
Also... er, I'm kinda bad when it comes to all this patch/revamp crap; do you have any idea when the revamp will be coming? o_o
I think I'll just leave Gaviota unmaxed.
