these lines of bombs have been completely utterly useless at most times, especially in lockdown.
i think the old version of the shard bombs should be brought back, BUT with total proper nerf.
the shard projectile was actually a good idea, it just needs........ hmmm.... maybe a total charge time increase, even longer than BaB, to prevent spamming dozens of projectiles.
also reducing movement speed while charging just a teensy tiny bit maybe.
so that it can be useful in lockdown.
tho... id still like to hear other peoples thoughts about shard bombs in lockdown.
I'm used to bombing 1v1 at times and usually if the opposite bomber is using a shard bomb I thank god cause they're fairly easy to dodge. Even with my horrible ping, I can get inside the bomb's range and put my own bombs and bomb the other bomber down. I believe that every weapon has a use, but these bombs right now are just outclassed by everything, except for the Deadly Crystal Shards cause that's the only DPS elemental bomb bombers have ATM.
