As you guys know, the Radiant Sun Shards in the test server is now pure piercing damage. However, every bomber who read Nick's thread insisted that the bomb be changed to pure elemental or simply left alone. I agree with them; we do NOT need another piercing bomb. They should fix the ISB instead.

DO NOT DESTROY A PERFECTLY USEFUL BOMB

Anyone in favor of that^ statement, please put a "+1" on this page to show your support and hope that OOO doesn't implement the change into the real game.

I'm not a bomber but I know a few who are, and the majority of them think DBB is enough- RSS should be damage-elemental, or just remain the same.

"However, every bomber who read Nick's thread insisted that the bomb be changed to pure elemental or simply left alone." thats a lie

everybody who wants pure elemental has no idea how powerful this bomb is or doesnt take it into account

RSS will still remain useful because of its power

but honestly i dont care and never did

No-thanks, thank you for your wonderfully useless input.

The RSS lose much of their use by losing elemental damage which made it one of the most offensive elemental bombs in the game, the only ones left are the haze bombs, which are not always feasibly useful to use and the only ones to be relied on for damage are AoA and VT, and the Electron line, one that many will pass on because it is a damn PVP exclusive recipe and they don't feel like using their time to grind there. Both are passive as well, meaning you are going to be using more time and effort than what you would need with the RSS.

And as Doctor said, we lose Puppy sniping ability because of this. This is a bad thing as it resricts the full bomber play style.

What? The RSS is a better gremlin killer as pure piercing. Maybe your'e thinking of the Blackhawk-Sentenza changes?

I don't know what the devs are thinking but something called Radiant Sun Shard should at least have elemental damage in it?

+1 - I don't bomb but I have friends that do. If you making it full pierce it will not be effective against Gun Puppy and Polyps for sniping. There are already pierce bombs, if you are going to change it then why not make it full elemental so there is an elemental offensive bomb instead of only the hazes? Elemental or leave it alone.

Now on the matter of Argent and Sentenza.. change them already.

It needed to change to something pure. I'm disappointed that it went Piercing instead of Elemental, but it needed to change. I have all the bombs and right now RSS, with its split damage, rarely makes an appearance. I think I only have it in my pure-bomb Graveyard loadout. With these changes it'll make its way into more loadouts.

Elemental would have been a better choice between the two, but piercing at least slightly improves its usefulness against Devilites/Wolvers and greatly against Gremlins. I'd only use it for Devilites and Wolvers if I am solo or with other bombers, due to the dodging. I still stand by my previous thoughts on the changes.

Hopefully something elemental is in the works for bombers. Blast cubes are normal/elemental. And from a technical standpoint all our suits protect from elemental because bombs explode.

Allow me to point out two

Allow me to point out two things:

1. All feedback regarding the Test Server is to stay on the Testing Feedback forums.

2. Reacting to experimental changes on the Test Server by posting threads in general chat designed to rile up the rest of the community is in every way NOT how a tester should be conducting themselves. The Test Server allows developers to TEST changes to the game that we would not otherwise have the freedom to do so in the live game. Please respect that by not creating petitions and protest threads that waste development time to diffuse.

Should you wish to discuss this further, please visit the Testing Feedback forums.
