Mad Bomber Set
Grey Owlite Shield( to minimize the status effects) I have tested it and the shield gives the resists even when unused)(equiped)

1. Nitrome
2. Polaris ( Gunpuppies)
3. Static Capacitor 5* version. OR Ash of Agni, cant make up my mind
4. Electron Vortex 5*

Why Polaris?
Electron Vortex + Polaris= Super Shock xDD
So i am asking if this is agood build + opinions or changes.
Cheers.

From my own experience, it's

From my own experience, it's pretty solid. I'd say Ash of Agni, since you really already have a shock/crowd control bomb. However, I would suggest tossing a Dark Briar Barrage into that slot occasionally too, as it rips into Wolvers/Skellies/Gremlins quite well, even trivializing Danger Rooms. Not only that, it gives another choice that isn't Elemental

That'd also match it to my current loadout too *cough*

And yes, Electron Vortex+Polaris is gold, one bomb and 6 shots before the Vortex completes can obliterate large clusters of slimes. Bring in your buddy with a DA, and even Lumbers go down in seconds.

the owlite info is quiet interesting

definitely ash if keeping the other items

i cant really say if its a good build because i havent tryed it out, but having an ash is pretty dang awesome, eeks mentioned an ash + nitro combo being a very good one, voltaic tempest would kind of be a waste looking at ur current shock weapons(also it can sometimes put less predictable mobs in the way, that might not be knock-able for a little time >.<)

I would say replace the Electron Vortex with a Dark Briar Barrage. The vortex line is useful when you have a sword, ans Nitronome/Ash of agni probides great crows control already. You also have a lack of Piercing damage, which makes devilites and wolvers hard to kill.

wfaw nailed it. You really

wfaw nailed it. You really don't need pull if you can master push and the graviton really only shines when you have a weapon that can deal a high amount of damage to a concentrated area (i.e. sword charge). With a full bomb set you're better off covering your bases with a DBB. My usual "all-around" set is a Levi/Glacius, AoA, DBB, and Nitro.

I'd recommend going for AoA over VT at least initially. One thing is the AoA's tick damage is significantly higher than the VT and useful on a wider range of mobs. VT really only has decent ticks on undead/construct and even then it is very low. Shock will also block knockback a portion of the time which makes the combination with nitro slightly dangerous. Usually you'll want to push mobs away from you since you can shield. With shocked mobs you'd be using nitro unreliably like you would a DBB except you can't kite them because sometimes their movement will be restricted/slowed down. For pure damage, it's hard to beat Nitro/AoA combo for bombers. Drop a pre-spawn AoA to status mobs then hit them with nitro as they get softened up.

Polaris is a decent choice to deal with gun puppies. I personally prefer a sword to compliment my 3-bomb set since you'll end up with stragglers and it is easier to pick them off with a sword. The polaris bullets are too slow for clean up duty imo.
