The "new mad bomber" set will be almost same as mix, so what do you think full mad bomber or mix? Is +6 health enough to reduce the lack of stats defense?
Help a bomber
If you haven't already, check out the Bombing Guide. So much good info in there to help with decision making:

Mixed is a good choice. Not as deadly as going full Mad, and the fire resistance helps in FSC (where you'll likely spend a lot of time in the coming months.)
As for Trinkets vs Heart Pendants... as long as you are hitting Max CTR you don't need additional trinkets for Damage. But also you don't really need Heart Pendants either. Both are totally optional for good game play. In most cases I'll just go with Trinkets instead of Heart Pendants because I don't need the extra health. An exception is when I'm doing FSC where +12 gives some leeway for taking damage. Also when starting T3, I'll use Pendants until I find a Health Pod. Those extra hearts keep me alive in case a D19 mob gets lucky.
Just a side note, +12 health isn't going make up for Full Mad Bomber's negative shock in T3 if someone gets shocked then surrounded. In general, if someone has negative status resistance then switch to something neutral for that depth or be very very careful. :)
"what "new" mad bomber?"
The one with Penta-Heart Pendant. Did you even read my post (second one)?
I agree with Batabii. You asked your question in a very obscure manner. Let me help you ask it clearly. You want to know which of the following is better:
* Mad Bomber Suit, Mad Bomber Mask, Penta-Heart Pendant, Elite Boom Module (CTR Max!, damage Max!, heavy penalties on poison, fire, freeze, and shock, +6 health)
* Mad Bomber Suit, Volcanic Demo Helm, Elite Boom Module, Elite Boom Module (CTR Max!, damage Max!, half as much penalty, +0 health)
You want to know whether the +6 health is worth having double the penalties on poison, fire, freeze, and shock.
"You want to know whether the +6 health is worth having double the penalties on poison, fire, freeze, and shock."
Yes, I want to know that.
my bomber setup is: full mad bomber, vitrolic tempest, nitronome, shivermist, and leviathan. its works very well. for FSC i do not use this though. it is not recomended unless you are very careful. this bomb setup is extremly effective for Lockdown as people dont go near you if you spam VT and you are very effective at keeping them awey.
Fire can easily burn through 6 bars of health
so no
@Trying:
thats just for FSC though, for most other stratums in the clockworks it is amazing. you just have to be good enough not go run into any status effecting traps/mobs.
Right now i am 4* with heavy demo helm and suit. I don't now really should I uparge to full mad set, volcanic demo set or mix (volcaninc demo helm and mad bomber suit). I was thinking to get mix with 2 elite boom modules (with fuly heated bombs i could have max CTR and i will have max dmg). But, then Heart Pendants was able to craft. So new idea will be to get fuly mad bomber with Penta-Heart Pendant and 1 Elite boom module (stats will be same expect +6 health wich will be helpfull aginst all those stats).

Sorry
