Ran 2/3 of the Gauntlet with it and another bomber using SB/AoA.
Everything died, maybe they lasted 10 more second than they would have pre-nerf.
Yep, definetely useless vendor trash now!!!
Come off it, I'm a bomber, It still works magnificently.
Bomb nerf was F'ing stupid

I did a few runs with it, and yeah, it still works very well. Lots of things die, and dropping 6 of those with two bombers will vitrually ruin anything with neutral or weakness. Just tears them apart like a kid opening their xmas present.

One more time for the cheap seats, the angry folks are the ones who don't use it as a bread-and-butter bomb like I almost immediately started doing.

well...
i tried the bomb post patch...
and i myself as a pure bomber says:
its .. usable :/ but like someone else said, its like comparing NITRO to BAB . ... ones an option... ther other.. needs .. tweaking .
abd swordies who say "ohh swords do te most damage cause theres the most risk involved! that may be true, but in the case of this bomb , it IS a big risk! you have to dance in small cirlcles around your enemies, placing one at each side to really make this bomb effective, AND THEN IT GETS NERFED X_X .... it was on par for damage with swords, it gave bombers some light.. maybe OOO can cater to people other than sword users :O ..... nope ._. its absolutely USELESS on gremlins. :( and it even says in the descrition thats what its used for ... seerus.. oh seerus. why did OOO have to berf your mechanical intelligence
but i suggest that this bomb stay almost just te way it is... keep the radius, number of orbs, damage... just give it a LITTLE more speed and it might actually hit something other than whopping giant lichen colonies!!! (but missing those is like missing a damn mountain .. that you are inside of)
and gunners have it worse

For us non rich players
Well, the bomb still works, and pretty well at that. Bear in mind, I'm using the 3 star version, since I don't have lots of money to drop on 5 star gear. I am only running 3 star gear, and I was VERY happy with the performance of the pre patch bomb. I only have one set of 3 star gear (I do have 2 guns, 2 bombs, and 2 swords that are 3 star) at the moment. It takes a considerable amount of time for me to make enough to buy new gear. I figure it will take almost 2 whole months to get to 4 star equipment. Having purchased the expansion, I was very excited to have this new bomb, and it made the game very fun for me. The game is still fun, but the bomb just isn't as exciting or destructive as it should be.
If I had the money to buy all 5 star gear, and was a bomber, and etc, etc, etc... I would have the 5 star bomb, and probably love it. It's just a little lame that buying the expansion and being rewarded with a sweet bomb, as a non bomber, is pretty cool. But having it turned into a Nerf gun (yes, I'm exaggerating a little) is kind of a let down. I still use it, but the smile on my face is all but gone... the orbs are just so slow... OOO, please speed it up a little, the slow rotation is sucking my will to live.
To sum up: For the average player without 3 or more sets of 5 star gear, this "nerf" is frustrating. Having a powerful weapon in a 3 star variant was really cool, but it's just a little too hard to use effectively now. Those silk wings just never die with this thing... and that means the enemy they are healing never dies either... until I pull my sword.

I think they should rebuff
I think they should rebuff the speed and leave the damage as is, slowing the orbs AND lowering the damage is a double damage nerf. Increase the charge time if you have to so its only useful to people with CTR. High risk, high reward.

Orb Speed
I would be happy with a medium increase in the orb speed. The damage is fine now, as long as we get some speed back.

I'm going to have to agree
I'm going to have to agree with most on this thread, the nerf was too much. The biggest hit is the fact that it took irl money to acquire and then we were slapped in the face by having it nerfed. OOO is never going to make the entire playing base happy so the question is, which is better to upset the f2p players or the p2p players? That being said the bomb is still useful under circumstances but it would be nice to have the original speed restored then the p2p players wouldn't feel so robbed.

Hammers and bombs
Seriously, this is a (swear word) bait and switch. I could be demanding my money back if it was't for the warmaster rocket hammer. Not to mention the hammer is SO BUGGED when you get stunned during a charge, (entire player freezes, can't do anything)
The 5* bomb was just fine as it was, it required placement, and skill. Now you can't even kill a T1 jelly without multiple bombs.
Yeah, fix this now, return it to how it was.

That lvl 1 jellies(Royal Mini) never died with 1 shot anyway i believe their hp 200~ for solo. they also have spesific armor diffrent then other jellies.
They take "Normal" damage from blitz normal attack(not charge) even tho it's pierce
They take "Extra" damage from shadow as a jelly but strangely enough they also take extra damage from elemental attacks even tho they're jelly
Basicly they have same armor type as Jelly King before it got nerfed.

I have no idea what you are talking about. It just says "swear word", not an actual swear. Technically i'm not in violation for what people use in their minds as a swear word.

You know, I can take Three
You know, I can take Three Rings' idea for nerfing the damage on the bomb. I could understand why they did that, but I kinda wish they left the orbiting speed on those objects the same. Consider one half the speed, and another half the damage. I would be perfectly fine if they nerfed the damage.
It's kinda not up to par with most of the other bombs now and makes me want to use the Ash of Agni for on-going damage.
EDIT:
I'm pretty sure someone complained about the bomb being overpowered, thus which is why they nerfed it. Now you guys are complaining they nerfed it.
Haha, you guys are silly.
Haha

Flaame has got a point there.
We are hyporcrites. We(some people on the fourms) say the bomb is overpowered, yet we(same people) complain like babies that it is nerfed. Some spammed it to heck, hence OOO noticing it. The nerf may had put it as you have got to keep on using it for it to be effective(Blast bomb series).

What amuses the heck out of me...
If it had been released in the first place how it is now, a lot of the people who are complaining about it being nerfed too much would probably be either complaining that it's too powerful or unbalancing, or they'd be overjoyed about how good it is.
Current complainers aside, if it was released this way in the first place, a LOT of other people would be jumping for joy at how good it is. Having tried it dialed way up, it doesn't occur to them that it's still a very good addition to the game.

I'll admit it, I felt the bomb was overpowered, I not only requested a nerf, I EXPECTED it, which is why I defend it now.
BUT I also will admit that the nerf could have been less, maybe the damage nerf alone.

This is why I want More Damage & Same Speed. Previous Speed was way too fast & Laggy for Some of my Teammates.

Umm
Guys, I think the point here isn't just the nerfing of the Dark Retribution. It's the fact that OOO are willing to instanerf guns and bombs without even testing the patches first (Pepperbox and DR, respectively) and yet refuse to touch the swords.
