Ok guys I'm going to be short at this:
I have a Haze Burst, have been testing it on Firestorm Citadel and it does 0,5s of stun to zombies.
Is that even any stun?
Will it be worth it to upgrade to a Stagger Storm just to watch monsters get half a second of stun?
I was planning on using it on Vanaduke but that's just WAY too nerfed to go against him. I would have to get CTR ULTRA MAXIMUM POWER BLASTER to set 1 bomb every 0,5s to compensate the null effect it has...

Definitely needs some fixing.
Fire from Ash of Agni lasts longer.
Venom Veiler poison lasts longer.
Shivermist , well, I'm not even going to start it on shivermist.
Shock from 5* shock bomb lasts longer (forgot the name but i have it).

Is this the "Big Angry Bomb" or "Chaos set" of vaporizers?

I am AFRAID of upgrading to stagger.

Yhea. The only reall

Yhea. The only reall advantage stagger has is that it dosent ignite quicksilvers and not much ressists stun. Of course; you can take advantage of quicksilvers since they deal freindly damage. Oilers on the otherhand are more of a problem once buffed.

I personally think that

I personally think that Stagger Storm sucks because it just slows enemies down by 1 seconds and Shivermist completely halts enemies movement so Shivermist is better in every way.

About Vaporizers, they all

About Vaporizers, they all follow this "High chance of Low ____".
Problem is, this template does not work for all status conditions, resulting in the lack of usefulness and broken execution of the Venom Veiler/Stagger Storm.

By default, Stun doesn't last long in the first place, and Poison requires interaction of the player(s). You could try to Poisonlock mobs under Mender care, but the healing block effect is still buggy, and useless solo due to the amazingly short duration.

Buff required

If Stagger Storm really is that useless, Three Rings should go ahead and lengthen the duration to actually make the bomb worth the materials and CE. The Haze Bomb series just hit last priority on my token-spending list for Krogmo Coins.

The Venom Veiler doesn't sound very good either if what Espeonage says is true.
No wonder everyone and their uncle has a Shivermist Buster...
