Using A Bombastic/Volcanic hybrid set.
I have trouble in freeze sections as well.
Is this a safer alternative to Mad and Mad/volcanic Bomber sets?

the wiki is outdated, made
the wiki is outdated, made before bombastic had freeze resist and medium bomb damage. atrum, that would be good as well, though i would still use volcanic + mad since you can FSC with the fire resist.

Assuming you have a good party (with friends you know). Freeze shouldn't really a problem, they will chip/break your freeze fast. Also, most of the theme is either freeze alone or fire alone. I don't think I ever see depth with fire and freeze effect at the same time. I don't know. I don't feel you should have a hybrid. More likely just get complete one set >_>
Using damage bonus on bombs kinda out-ruling haze and vortex line bombs, they don't really get benefit. So if you're support bomber, you don't really need bombastic. I also kinda leaning toward piercing + whatever status effect resistance than elemental + freeze resist for ice jelly queen palace.
This would be different topic if you means lockdown setup.

Full bombastic and 2 ctr
Full bombastic and 2 ctr trinket gives vh damage and max ctr, if that's what you want.
A volc/bombastic with ctr/damage trinkets achieves the same results. And unless you have no trinket slots, why not fill said slots and add damage for what you can do.
Electron vortex is actually pretty decent for damage, and graviton is bomber's only shadow damage if they don't have OCH. So damage on vortex is good.

Hmmm...
I may use trinkets when done with crafting all my weapons, not just my FSC loadout.

As far as resistance goes,
As far as resistance goes, anything Bomber oriented that doesn't use Mad Bomber will be "safer," so on that note, Yes, this is safer.
Having said that, I'd argue it may not actually be safer. The safest way to play is to kill things, fast, and stay out of traps. If you can stay out of traps, you don't have much to fear for status effects if you kill monsters fast enough. Greavers and breathing zombies are a bit of an exception, but generally avoiding Zombie breath isn't that hard unless your teammates shield bump or knockback one across you. If you don't have trinkets, the best bomber bonuses come from Mad Bomber. Every step of damage bonus I got, I noticed a significant change. Things die much faster when every shard of my RSS does 40 more damage! So I still argue that one of the safest ways to play is mad bomber.
If you do find a particular status bugging you, then get one other piece of bomber armor. I have a hard time seeing freeze being the problem though, unless you're in LD.
You've read the Bombing Guide on the wiki, I assume? It discusses several bombing armor sets, characterizing their strengths and weaknesses. Your particular set isn't in there, but you can probably figure out how it works based on (A) its properties and (B) descriptions of similar sets on the Bombing Guide.
