I think this would work for you.

From what you've got, it seems that this would be best.

Helm- Mad Bomber UV Fire Max.
Armor- Snarbolax Cap. (Vog would be good here as well with a damage trinket but you'll might want some shadow defense.)
Shield- Volcanic Plate Shield. (I think that you'd better keep with your volcanic shield for now at least. It's fine. Others later.)
Trinket- Elite Bomb Focus Module.
Trinket- Elite Quick Strike Module.
Sword(s)- (With the stations this got a lot easier.) For fiend levels, bring a Barb thorn blade, for zombie levels, bring a ele sword. Etc.
Bombs- Your choice.

Cheers,

Me too!

I'm a sword/bomb person too, focusing first on bombs then equipping the sword that works best for the depth. Here's my usual loadout:

Helm: Volcanic if the status type is going to be a problem, otherwise Mad Bomber
Armor: Skolver (if freeze) otherwise Vog - I feel the ASI is more useful than a 14% increase in damage which might not even decrease the number of hits
Shield: Whatever is appropriate for the depth (I horde shields...)
Weapon 1 and 2: Swords
Weapon 3 and 4: Bombs
Trinket: Bomb CTR
Trinket: Sword ASI or CTR

So I think your spot on. With the new arsenal stations you can probably do fine with just two weapon slots.

Heh

You can totally do it in Spiral-Spy. :)

I'm sure it is just a typo.

Listen to Velcro!

I tried his build and it does an excellent job of helping me kill everything in sight!

As velcro suggested, gravity bomber?

Gravity Bomber set.
Helm - Volcanic Demo/Mad Bomber (med bomb CTR/med bomb CTR and bomb damage)
Armor - Skolver Coat (med sword damage)
Shield - Barbarous Thorn Shield (med sword damage)
Trinket 1 - Elite Sword Focus Module (med sword CTR)
Trinket 2 - Elite Slash Module (med sword damage)

Weapon 1 - Electron Vortex with a CTR med UV.
Weapon 2 - Glacius/Voltedge/Combuster. (I suggest Glacius, because its holds the targets in place.)
Weapon 3 - Acheron
Weapon 4 - Your weapon of choice.

So when your weapons are heat lv 10 you will have the following bonuses:
Max Bomb CTR
Max Sword damage bonus
VH Sword CTR

You dont really need ASI for this setup, since you are mainly spamming charge attacks on stuff thats trapped in your vortex.
