Shard bombs offer a unique attack pattern and effect on combat. They keep enemies fairly spread out but not in bunches like standard blast bombs. They also have practically no walkspeed reduction while charging so you can weave in and out easily. That being said they largest downside is how far OOO scaled back the damage.
I find them easy to use if not lacking in damage.

They actually out-damage the likes of nitronome and dark briar barrage, until you consider invincibility frames.

As a purebomber I feel like I
As a purebomber I feel like I have credibility when I say people need to forget about how godly the old radiant sun shards were. While all shards that arent the Deadly Crystal Bomb/Shocking Salt Bomb may suck, those two serve interesting niches. Deadly Crystal is pretty much the only elemental dps bomb, while Shocking Salt is just a fun alternative to the Dark Retribution. Takes some skill to use properly, but not really.

Oh that takes me back.
There's only one reason I used those shard shooter types that people say suck..
The range.
I used to use them in sniper tactics to kill enemies that were like 2 1/2 screens over from me with aid from my pve radar.
The Range was only rivaled by throwing a pot. But far better damage with status function adds.
Nowadays.. pfft.. Permafroster was more dependable and stylish.

post-patch
You misunderstand the thread. The original poster is talking about post-patch shard bombs, not the old-style Radiant Sun Shards.

I like shards because they
I like shards because they are good for:
Destroying brick: Then destroy enemy on one hit.
Was playing solo in a tier 2 Danger Room using only a 2* Crystal Bomb and Splinter Bomb.
Turned out well.
I don't think this post counts though, since I don't have much experience with the other bombs either, so I can't compare the Shards to anything.
