Hello everybody,
first of if this is the wrong forum to post,I'm sorry.
So I am new to this game,and for the moment I chose to be bomber.
I'm at T2,so aiming for my 4* stuff.
I have following in mind:

Armor: Mercurial Demo Suit
- Saw it on a picture,it had great bonuses,shock resistance etc.

Helm: Volcanic Demo Helm
- Yea with the set. Also fire resistance and the best stats in my opinion.

Sword: Vile Strike
- For jellyking runs,I need some way to earn cash anyhow lol,also I like that sword. Got my striker with 2 enchants.

Bomb: Nitronome
- I like the damage.

(Are there more spots available later? If so id pick another 2 bombs: Graviton Bomb and Shivermist Buster)

Shield: Grey Owlite Shield
- Seemd to have good resistances fitting with my other picks. Also elemental defense,which is never wrong or?

As I said I am pretty insecure about this all,you know it better,I ask you for help.
Thanks.

You can get more weapon slots

You can get more weapon slots by buying the upgrades from Boost(He should be the NPC with the blue "-" inside a circle mask). I think they're 250 energy for a weapon slot. I would save up your mist one day, so that you would only need 150 CE to buy one. However, these have a temporary date.(30 Days.)

I know they sound like a rip off at first, but being able to have multiple weapon types that can deal different types of damage is really nice for varying monsters that have weakness and strengths against your weapons.

I would also consider trying to find a group of trusting friends or a trusting guild. A bomber is nice and all, but I feel it's kinda tricky doing it alone.

What's your current setup?

There's a useful thread on here on nothing but bombs, so they can probably help you out a bit more.*searches for the thread*

EDIT:

Links that may prove useful to you.

Especially the Elite bombing thread. You can probably get more ideas there. Even ask help from more experience bombers there.

Alright thanks for the answer

Alright thanks for the answer first off it helped.
Although I'm still not quite sure if my chosen set is good.
I wanted to ask if its a good way to make my way through the tiers,as I am not a full time bomber,but also want to use vile striker as main weapon.
My current equipment is 2* Stuff,
Owlite Shield,Striker with two unique abilities (?),Spiral Demo Suit,Spiral Demo Helm and a Blast Bomb.

I wouldn't try getting the

I wouldn't try getting the Mercurial Demo line just yet, its stats aren't really all that good, bar the shock resist.
Try looking into getting a Mad Bomber Suit instead, with the Volcanic Demo helm, and a level 10 bomb, you get free CTR Max, plus a damage bonus medium, which makes your Nintronome even more powerful.

Also, try looking into a Haze line, such as Ash of Agni, Shivermist Buster or Stagger Storm, they're really good for support.

:D Reading Original Post:

The only 4* bomber is Heavy Demo, the rest you are suggesting are 5* armor.

If you want to be a part-time

If you want to be a part-time sword user, try either Vog or Skolver, they provide great benefits for sword users.
