I am a bomber,but i hate the way the people treats me when i drop a master blast bomb.
i started as a bomber because it looks safe but it isnt.
my question is do i keep my bomber things and buy some guns/gunslinger set?
i love my shadow tech alchemer mk ii so i want to know if there is any other gun that ricochets or explode like the catalyzer.
so do i change to gunslinger?
Do i change to gunslinger?
Read this read about nitronome line : http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/37759 You'll understand why people hate you for using it.
There are a lot of good others bombs which are not annoying. You should use them in a party instead of blast bomb. Basically, every bomb which doesn't involve knockback will at least not piss off your party.
Bomber is actually the safest class to be, but it's pretty tricky too, since it involves more than just timing.
As for being treated like crap, refer to:

There will always be people who have an attitude towards bombers, but once you've got a hang of it and understand how to properly use them, then you're in the right, don't let other people ruin what you enjoy as a class, that's not fair on you and it's not their right to do so.
However, if you do want to switch, that's your choice too. It's never a good idea to get rid of your stuff; always keep old gear in case one day you fancy a change back, and wanna give bombing a shot again; if you've sold it all, it'll kill your spirit to try again becasue you'd need to craft it all over again.
However, there's nothing stopping you from being a hybrid. Bombslinger should be a relatively safe class choice to be if you're not great with shields and/or wanna keep out of the fray, but gearing up for both of them will be rather tricky, but definitely do-able!
im thinking about making an hybrid because there is no elemental or shadow damage bomb(haze and vortex arent damage bombs,damage bombs are DBB ,RSS and nitro)
im going to get a shadow driver and a nova driver as elemental and shadow alternatives to bombs so i can switch my RSS to an nova driver.
sorry for my bad english,it is because i am from brazil and in my school they dont teach a good english.
Edit:i already own an shadowtech alchemer and want to know wich is better, a RSS or a nova driver?
I'm gunna go into JK later and make a video, I'm absolutely sick of people sayin' "vortex is fail for damage". No, the only people who think that vortexes suck for damage are the people that simply don't use it properly. Vortexes are excellent for group damage and control, no two ways about it.
As for an elemental weapon, RSS works like a gun in the respect that the attacks are projectiles (will flip switches, devils will attempt to dodge, have a travel time etc). RSS caps at 4* but has massive damage per shard, and can be easily planted to stack 3~8 shards on a single mob (8 shards will typically always kill whatever it hits, excluding bosses), and has a static fiend:high bonus on it, giving it instant extra damage. It is *the* weapon for Graveyards, letting you stomp through every skeleton without any problem. Nova Drivers however, are just guns with no extra or underlying fancy effect. Use them if you prefer guns. The only real advantage to them over RSS is that they have "normal attacks", which bombs lack.
Nitronome is a good bomb, but you just have to use it in a way that won't mess up your team. That and try other bombs.
Comment didn't show properly, no idea why.
You could siwtch to a status bomber with freeze/shock/fire bombs instead of the master blast.
All the alchemers ricochet and nothing explodes like catalyzer, but besides taht this is a personal decision, you should chose what you want to be. A gun isnt better than a bomb, they are just different both with it's pros and cons.
