As you know, the Haze/vaporizer bombs are a popular series for many players. But there are a few problems for me.

1) why aren't they in the same family?!?!
They do about the same thing. Elemental damage, a status condition, and a large radius. they need to be in the same family!
it would be called the "Vaporizer" family

Hazy vaporizer > Hazy Vaporizer MK ll > Hazy Atomizer > Stagger Storm

Static Vaporizer > Static Vaporizer MK ll > Static Atomizer > Voltatic Tempest

2) New bombs
Now, we have 5 of the 7 status conditions. We need the last 2, curse and sleep
both start at 4* and do not need any bomb to craft it.

Cursing Vaporizer > Pharaoh's Plague

Drowzy Vaporizer > Daymare Fog

Thoughts? Suggestions? Post below.

they were in the same family

they were in the same family save the rest of the stun family and the lightning bomb

they are in the same family of bombs called the chemical bombs (freeze, fire, poison, and stun at least), sleep isn't in the game at this time and curse doesnt fit in with this type of bombs

Now, sleep is just a bad

Now, sleep is just a bad freeze: enemies heal, constructs are unafected, the only good side is that monster don't attack.
Curse is too powerfull for a bomb.

I dunno - if a Curse bomb had

I dunno - if a Curse bomb had the same chance to affect the user as the Gran Faust, wouldn't that mitigate it somewhat? Or if the Curse effect had a shorter duration than other Vapouriser line effects? Honestly I don't know how useful it'd be tactically, but it's got potential to look extremely cool, which shouldn't be discounted entirely :D.

Agreed about the Sleep thing, though; until it's a useful status effect, there's no merit in making weapons that use it.

I could care less what "family" a particular bomb belongs to; the item description already tells you everything you need to know about the weapon.
