Mad Bomber Buff?

Is there any appetite from the devs for a buff to the mad bomber set? On the surface, the mad bomber set looks like a great reason to fully index into bombing, but it turns out that a generic set provides the same offensive bonuses AND lets you use any weapon. It's kind of sad that most online advice is to completely avoid the mad bomber set.

It would be nice if the negative resists were either reduced or removed. It would be even better if the armor gave you something special, like a speed bonus. I'm sure others could think of better ideas.

Full disclosure, I have nowhere near the hours that many of you do. I'm a solo bomber, and I (foolishly) crafted mad bomber as my first (and only) 5*, so I am also a little biased. Thanks for reading!

You are right about it

Yes chaos Should get the bonus to bombs removed... No wait that's not what this post is about.
Black Kat Raiment Should be removed entirely from the game... also not what this post is about...

Mad bomber: the set is Ok, is a very niche one because only affects 1/3 of the weapons of the game, and the game rewards more Generalist damage gear than specific CTR gear... is it a complex argument? yes; do we need to talk about it? yes... Should we "just buff it"? no...

If You want a bomber speed bonus gear get the Mercurial Demo set a.k.a. the best looking set ever.

Before Occurencies Befall on Mighty Bob-ombs Zeddy & Bopp writes some key info in that post. Worth cheking it out

it really needs a buff

Chaos and mad are basically the same, there needs to be def a buff to mad or a rework to the mad set ( and maybe the rest of sets ) i also dont want to nerf chaos cause being able multiple type of weapons is fun but then there is no reason to use sets like mad bomber, it seems like a game design issue

It could use some love i agree

Yes, there is almost no reason to build the mad bomber set when chaos exist, only if ARE REALLY commit to bombs you would want mad bomber

maybe if it had HIGH CTR on both parts for bombs (to have maximum) it would be a decent choice, or even a walk speed bonus, wich for bombers that is a must have if you are gonna commit to bombs only, the mercurial set provides that bonus alongside damage (low) but it is a mediocre armor set, but it looks so cool which is a shame.

This wouldn't do anything. A 10* weapon already has a Medium innately, so mad bomber already maxes out your CTR, but it would mix alright with Kat Hiss. A dmg high on both pieces would be enough for me to go Mad Bomber over Chaos, that's the minimal viable product for a Mad Bomber change. Black Kat would still be a better bomber piece, but Mad would win in terms of economy.

I like a lot of what You said

MAX CTR? every weapon in the game gets CTR medium at 10... is not like "I can count to good" but max CTR would be USELESS... in ANY armour... (this is why we need to stop Throwing "needs a buff" just because we need to say something...)

DMG High would be Huge because You can mix with kat hiss for a Very high DMG, High CTR + med from the bomb for Ultra CTR... which is not bad... and avoid You the PAIN of having to get Hiss Raiment...

I forgot about CTR on weapons sorry!

I forgot how the weapons have CTR medium at level 10, silly me, but what they don't have is a damage bonus by default so

yes, i think a better choice would be MAX damage (high on both pieces) for mad bomber, i would absolutely choose mad bomber over chaos and even BK, (if i didn't own a BK armor already) the other black kat armors, which are totally overshadow by the BK, the only thing that the other KAT gear have is the defense which is the same as the dread skelly armor set, the highest shadow defense in the game
they are not but not amazing and i don't see anybody choosing that set over the black kat raiment
