It slower than most bomb but if you time it cant you still hit a target
Even in pvp, cant you just time the explosion properly
Or is it too big of a problem
I dont see why irontech destroyer hated
Not just harder to use, but less practical-- Nitronome allows chain-bombing and can be used for great Crowd Control because it's very easy for an experienced user to consistently move enemies where they want them to be. Irontech Destroyer lacks the Crowd Control option as well as any usefulness from chain-bombing as a trade-off for slightly more damage and better defensive options, but it's so much less safe to use that its defensive options end up being worse than Nitronome.
In essence, Irontech Destroyer is hated because Nitronome is basically better in every situation, but in those few situations where you want to abuse Irontech's niche uses, Big Angry Bomb works better. Irontech is... kind of really horrible, actually.
It has nearly all the drawbacks of BAB but without the astounding knockback.
I like it, though. It looks cool and sometimes you can get it into a good groove chaining knockbacks.
I like it, strong, fun, good status
Especially when you want that extra damage to wipe out a horde of mini monsters but don't want to wait for BAB charge time
I actually think irontech is about as good as nitronome and most of the other bombs that aren't haze bombs || dark retribution || dark briar barrage || vortexes, which are basically the S tier for bombs. People like nitronome more because it's easier to use but irontech has stun, a bit more knockback, and higher DPS backing it up. These things can make it a bit harder to start comboing with, but once you get into the groove of it you usually come out ahead of where you would be.
I don't really see these attribute you are putting on the irontech and BAB.
Then again I do not have the crystals to heat them.
Perhaps I'll dust them and give them another go.
Longer fuse time, slower walking speed, and higher knockback all make it harder to use than Nitronome?
