Why the only shadow dps bomb is P2P?
graviton isnt dps because it only does a mediocre dps at 5*
Dark reprisal
Dark reprisal is never to be talked about or mentioned. Using words such as OP, or game breaking shall never be mentioned after this. It is an amazing tool in the bomber arsenal. ;)

Have you bee non a JK run with even one Dark Reprisal? In that particular instance it is toooottally too powerful. I'm not saying the bomb should be nerfed to oblivion, but it needs some tweaking at least.
Yes, it is amazing. Yes it is P2P. This means that it is Crap. Complete and utter crap. With out a lot of F2P players, this would not be a very good game at all. In fact, the only ones playing would be P2P people, and they would be running all the time, not buying more CE, unless they Fail so much that they need to rev, and spend irl money to do so.

How do you get it to hit more than once per drop?
This Dark Reprisal is the blitz needle of bombs: It is AMAZING in PvE, but sucks in PvP. People have yet to realize it is terrible in lockdown. (And don't say it's not: I've fought it before)
I've found success in alternating DR and VT in LD against stubborn guardians... but outside of that, not really.
I'd rather it be attainable by F2P people whom cannot afford to buy it as well.
It doesn't staggerlock enemies enough to be considered op. And the damage is lackluster when the enemy(s) don't sit in it.
Play with someone who has max bomb dmg and max bomb ctr and spams this. In depths that the majority of monsters arent weak to shadow, but arent resistant to shadow, that bomber will be on par dps with everyone else only spamming the shadow bomb. In depths where the majority of mobs are weak to shadow (lichen lair, RJP, jelly gardens) the bomber spamming this will be doing INSANE dps. My main is running with mad bomber suit, volcanic demo helm, and two bomb dmg trinkets, and its currently my favorite build.
I am looking for a damage parser of some kind? I would love to run some numbers in RJP and higher stratum lichen lairs and jelly gardens. Does anyone know if one exists?
On a related note, another thing I would like to try is have a bomber with elec vortex suck in all the slags in FSC rooms, then freeze them with a shiver, then have three charged hammers bring down the wrath on the pile. At 400-500 dmg per mob hit,and two smacks of the hammer, you could really show some sick numbers there.
After the patch that buffed the achereon's charge attack I felt like my skolver with max damage outclassed my mad bomber character, Im glad they added this bomb so its not so hard to give out good dps with bombs only.(finally a way to kill lichens before they fuse) I dont find the bomb overpowered at all compared to the charge attack of the archereon.
i love this bomb. it does suck for LD , but its a great utility bomb :) its a good dps PARTY FRIENDLY BOMB , funally no raging party members at me trying to do dps with nitro XD its also great for solo DPS when you dont need knockback for defense ! once i get a DBB, ill cover 2 special damage types, and a normal damage with knockback! ill be able to conquer all!! MUAHAHAHA
he was dead under 10 seconds. It was insane. Running the RoF mission, with 4 of these, is ridiculous. Enemies barely have time to spawn before they are ripped in half. So much fun.

That's what a dark retribution can do to the Royal Jelly... It's just ludicrous.
Its p2p, deal with it. I can't have it because on f2p.
QQ aside, it does fine dps. Unless you are going by one hit per drop, in which case you're doing it wrong. Besides, it is the best shadow dps bomb. Ever thought of it that way?
Edit: Didn't know u were talking about gravi.
