Hey all!
I am a swordsman and have used swords ever since starting to play the game....
I have all the swords I want currently and would like to switch to playing as bomber for a bit.
I just purchased Fused Demo Suit and have the recipe for Fused Demo Helm. I am going for Mad Bomber Suit armor and Volcanic Demo Helm.
I currently have a Shivermist Buster (lvl 10).
What bombs are the best to go for? I do run FSC a lot, but it's not the only stratum i run...
I really want the Dark Briar Barrage. Is it worth it?
Should i get the Nitronome? Many say i need it but also that people hate it! :) so not sure about that one...
And is Ash of Agni worth getting?
Any other bombs worthwhile?
Thanks for all the input
Have you tried reading the bombing guide? It has some pretty good info on it, to help get you started. http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Bombing_Guide
In my opinion, I feel Nitronome is great for solo play but it's a little hard for your team mates in group play. Makes it hard for them to see, might knock some dudes out of the way or into them. I feel something like Dark Briar Barrage might be a better damage bomb for group play, but that's just me.
Ash of Agni is good, the burn can help make shorter work for your team. The Voltiac Tempest could help with a similar job too.(Ok, probably not as good as burn, but the shock is pretty respectable.)
A guild master of mine loves using the Vortex bombs(Electron Vortex and Graviton Vortex). He sets the bomb and after it goes off and sucks in monsters, he and his group runs to the mob and starts slashing with their swords. It's a nice way to set up for some sword attacks for even more damage. Just an idea if you're interested.
