As a bomber, by far my favorite bomb is RSS(for all of you non-bombers that means Radiant Sun Shards) It's ticking me off, as there isn't a 5* version for it, so I could beat up all the freaking skolvers in Lockdown. I've been thinking, maybe it could be a little like this: Divine Rays of Ra~ Shoots 8 light red expanding in width rays for the range of other shards bombs(expand gradually) and has a bloody color to the bomb. Maybe slight chance of causing strong stun or maybe fire? I want to hear if y'all like this idea, and if not, think of your own?
RSS 5*

Maybe weaken the current RSS
Maybe weaken the current RSS a bit, and give it's hypothetical five star version said power?
I mean, I haven't used it myself, but a four star weapon shouldn't really be on equal with a five star weapon.

+1 but dont like the name
as alpha said change the damage of the 4* bomb and put it on the 5* and instead of 8 how about 9
maybe the name could be divine/blistering sun shards

Praise the sun!
+1
I wholeheartedly approve of the addition of a 5* shard bomb. I believe there should still be 8 shards, but perhaps they could do something like pierce multiple enemies. If they were to be piercing shards, I think they would need to do less damage for every enemy they passed through; for example, each hit could deal 1/3 the damage of the last (so if the first hit was 100, the next would be 33, then 11, then 3, ect.)
I've always been partial to the name Brilliant Sun Shards for a 5* of the line, but naming is a secondary thing. Also, the description should make reference to Dark Souls *coughpraisethesuncough*

Not Blistering
Blistering sun shards does not appeal to me, and I kind of wouldn't like having a 3rd bomb in a row named sun shards, as that is quite redundant. How about~ Apollo's Wrath? (I like putting god in the names of weapons like Agni, which is the Hindu god of fire, I believe.) I have a preference of a status effect on this. If radiant is 4* , maybe if the 5* had stun? Either that or fire. Since it comes from sun shards~ fire, and since it is brilliant~ stun kind of like ur trying to attack with a hand over yor eyes >.> {the light!) well what do y'all think?

@Zasher:
It's pretty effective as a LD damage bomb right now...adding a stun and more damage on top of that would kind of defeat the point I think.
Status-effect weapons generally have a damage debuff, to balance it.
Perhaps a 5* RSS could have a status effect added but the same damage as RSS? Though I'd prefer it just have more damage. If it were a status, fire would be more appropriate.

Actually, if the 5* has the
Actually, if the 5* has the same damage as the current 4*, it would be a nerf. Paying the 5* crafting costs for the same damage we had before?
If the current rss was slightly nerfed, and the 5* had higher damage than current rss, it would be nice.
But the reason for removing the 5* crystal bomb was the high damage output, wasn't it?

Um
I'm glad that the Crystal Bomb only goes up to 4*. Why? Because you get the power and potential of a 5* weapon in a 4* bomb. Yup. No 30k cr and 800 CE required for a godly item. RSS is an EXTREMELY useful weapon, and it costs way less than any 5* item.
I'm not a bomber, so I can't say with finite accuracy how much damage it does...
But I know that as a 4* bomb, the RSS is extremely useful. I'd say it's one of the (If not the) most popular damage bombs, even though it's 4*.
Not sure if it's necessary, given its current state, but it'd be nice anyway I suppose.
