now, im going to ramble, and everyones going to ingore me XD so here i go

BIG ANGRY BOMB:

-Biggest radius in the game
-Low chance to inflict strong stun
-keep damage and slow walk speed
-either keep or increase the currently slow charge or fuse time

this makes the big angry, not a main weapon, but sure as hell a useful tactical nuke that keep enemies stunned and at all corners of the screen , also scraping off a nice portion of health

DECONSTRUCTOR:

-change to elemental damage (its a gremlin weapon seriously!)
-this should make bombers like me happy they have a DPS blast elemental bomb that they can buff with trinkets and armor
-a five star variant may be required, but only if the nitronome still out DPS' an Elemental Decon on constructs and undead

IRONTECH:

completely change the mechanics of this bomb. (i know , i am doing some coding and know it wont be, ohh itll be easy, just add "this" and do "that" and its done! XD)

-smaller radius and keep knockback and damage
-allow the player to instantly place as many bombs on the screen in accordance to the star level
-charge attack reveals a detonator, and detonates all bombs in play
-just to reiterate... the bombs never explode until detonated by charge, and there will be a slight delay in being able to place the bombs consecutively

the concept of a different mechanic will make it so there are different strategies available for use with this bomb, even if it ends up with lowest DPS

Yeaaaaah... no, bombs used to be place instantly, now they are not. Such ridiculous fire power.

@ Diabound

they dont have a fuse, they detonate when you charge. thusmaking it "technically" have te longest fuse time, given you place all bombs you can before detonating, would be very useful for LD

+ blank. (IT'S OVER 9000!!)

I like it. It would be nice for irontech to be useful soloing against mobs of angry mechas. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH HEAVY DECON!!!!! That was my favorite bomb ever! It sucks. I'd like it to be elemental for finally a exploding elemental bomb! You know, use that magnificent brain of yours to conjure up a firecracker and cold snap line to 5*. My dreams would come true! Die you freaking skolvers!

@all

thanks for your positive thoughts on my ideas ^~^

@zasher .... that is .. EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING EARLIER !!

btw i dont really have that great of a "magnificent brain" , in fact im diagnosed with ADHD , lolz :3

but another idea i had was a Sludge bomb (description relating to devilite pit boss coffee or something XD) but it would be like the biohazard, shadow damage while dealing poison

and after all, this game is still just in its develloping stages, for all we know we might see some real significant balance between all the items! and alot more of them too!!

bump :D

Don't feel bad Diamondshreddie..

"in fact im diagnosed with ADHD"

Everyone is "diagnosed with ADHD".

It's called...portions and populations. A portion of people don't have it, but we ignore that, so the entire population has it.

I like to think of ADHD as an excuse as to why teachers can't keep control over their students in school sometimes.

Great ideas

I would say that if nick were to make Irontech like that. nick would make like a sub categories for bomb like mies and charge bombs and regular bombs. I really like your ideas and i hope they could use ur ideas!!!!

I whole heartily agree

On Deconstructor.
If a 5 star is made, maybe make it like the 'Gremlin bomb toss', instead of being placed?

@ Toxicyoccm

No. That would be way too powerful. And making it smaller bombs with less damage would be more like a downgrade, as i should be less damage for more bombs, and it would only hit 1 person because of the knockback. Having max CTR with a heavy deconstructor would deal more damage.

XD ahah

thank you sev

that made me lol XD

but my parents give me a hard time for it :P

BUT SERIOUSLY:

thank you all , im glad you all like my ideas. because i really think the blast bomb line should really be a pick and choose thing, like the brandish and alchemer lines, rather than an "avoid the useless/outclassed ones and stick to the standard" thing XD

hope this thread gets some recognition, and may inspire the devs ! ^~^

thats what the suggestions forums are supposed to do anyways right?

...

right? <_>

Processing Thoughts of You Always

because those bombs, as they are now, are pointless.
I'm waiting until they get rejigged before I buy one of those things, though.
Might want a Deconstructor with these changes though...
