Does Venom Grenade cause redraw on a Bane?

Quick question for the group: if I've gone the Bane route and have Mace attacks, will taking Venom Grenade cause you to pull out a gun, or does it fire from the mace to eliminate redraw?

All of the gun powers animate with the gun. That includes venom grenade. So yeah, there's redraw if you're using a Mace.

While it does indeed cause redraw, I'd also like to note that it's absolutely worth it despite this - a 20% resistance reduction is huge, and the 40% for poison damage is just plain awesome if you can exploit it.

(Which you can. Poisonous Ray and Venom Grenade itself, as well as the bonus damage on your smashes.)

Thanks for the responses. I really want to keep both powers in the mix, but I'm having trouble finding a power to toss out to keep them both. I'm thinking Combat Jumping will be the power to axe. I'll need to find that extra recharge somewhere else.

Thanks for info all!
