First off I’d like to say thank you to OOO for finally listening to people who aren’t swordsmen. But I’d like to add this. If bombers/gunners have anything else to add here, go ahead. I'll post your wishes in this.
Bombers
- Piercing and shadow defense
- Bring back the Dark Retribution to its former glory
- Mercurial Demo movement speed buff changed to Medium on every piece
- Make Ionized Salt Bomb shadow and give it a faster charge time
- Make Radiant Sun Shards elemental and give it an undead bonus instead of fiend
- Make Heavy Deconstructor elemental
- Buff Irontech Destroyer and Big Angry Bomb (I don’t know how, but there are plenty of forum threads on this)
- Attack Speed Increase for bombs, taking the form of a fuse time reduction
- Visual nerf of Blast Bomb graphics (way too annoying in teams, even though the Nitronome should be one of a bomber’s key damage weapons)
- Increase the movement speed when charging a Vortex bomb
- Buff Bombastic to a High bomb DMG bonus per piece because at the moment it is terrible and will still be terrible in the upcoming buff
- Nullify all the negative status resistances currently on Mad Bomber and give it negative Stun and Curse instead
- Give bombers a DMG medium shield
Gunners
- 2* versions of Magnus and Gunslinger set
- Shadow Lair armor for gunners, even though they’ll soon have all damage types covered already in the upcoming gunner armor buff
- The poor Pepperbox wants its harpoon effect back
- Buff every single 2* gun, because at the moment all the 2* guns are terrible and give new players false impressions
- Visual nerf of Pulsar graphics (way too annoying in teams)
- Piercing gun with some mobility (check out Incoherrant’s Snarbolax Gun thread if you want a good example)
- Fix the Firo Driver’s fire, because at this moment it is WAY too weak for what a 4-star gun should be capable of
- Make Catalyzer’s detonation benefit from gun DMG bonus
- Make Catalyzer bullets go faster
- Fix the Blackhawk’s range, because at this moment it has a noticeably shorter reach than its elemental counterpart, the Silversix
- Make Antigua charge attacks ONLY fire the last and most powerful bullet
- Make ASI increase bullet velocity
- Give gunners a DMG medium shield
_bombs_
I think that on average bombs should do more damage than they currently do compared similar ranked swords and guns, taking in to account that bombs have the disadvantage of a charge only attack.
or
that a non charge attack could be a thrown bomb instead, sacraficing a little of its attack power
