To be honest Chaos Cloak wins easily, they are practically the same except chaos cloak gains a weakness to the second least present status in the game (curse) for universal CTR and ATK boost.

However, the Mad bomber does have one tiny little advantage. To state what may not be obvious the Mad Bomber set is obvious. If you see a player in a Mad bomber set it is obvious what they will do... they bomb, and with a Glass "bomber" suit like that they probably do it well. (of course if you see one using just guns and swords then you have yourself an idiot or someone with no other elementally resistant armor)

Chaos cloak on the other hand well you don't know what to expect from the person using it (anything could happen).

I'm not making an argument for a reason to craft a mad bomber set (short of having an awesome costume) I'm merely trying to see a little bit of light in this rarely used armor set)

When Chaos was buffed, this was a hot topic of discussion --- that Chaos made Mad Bomber obsolete. Mad Bomber does look great, though. Especially with the mohawk.

It's not so much a clear indication of a good bomber, as a clear indication of an old bomber. Everyone I know with Mad Bomber crafted it before the Chaos buff.

I think I was shortly running with you in the arcade, but I thought the mad bomber set was a costume :P

chaos v. mad bomber

I imagine the chaos buff kinda sunk any old bomber's hope of balance for the game. Seeing as the Radiant Sun Shards update came before it and this just showed itself a little after.

prior to said buff, the mad bomber set was unique in being the only set with two very high buffs. Let alone it was a rocking set. The Mohawk was a symbol of a seasoned bomber more oft than not, and when it wasn't, the bomber quickly learned.

older seasoned bombers will occasionally show off their suits. But the set's become something of a tribute to older times, it's definitely too obsolete for anyone coming into the game to find it viable, the best suit for bombers was made something of a joke.

here's to the bomber update of 2015.

They said they'd balance it when the change happened, that they were "looking into it". Judging by the iron slug and tortodrones, I'd put the ETA at about two and a half years from now, so it's definitely coming up.
