I can design a better anti-gremlin bomb with my face tied behind my back!

"Keep in mind, I've never actually used Antigua or any of its upgrades, although I've seen it used much by my friends."

Why would you comment on the design of a weapon if you've never actually used it? Argent Peacemaker used to be perfect for dealing with Fiends when it was split elemental/pierce.

Fast animation, fast projectile, reasonable range, and multiple shots made it the definitive Devilite shooting gun. Bringing a full pierce 5* antigua would satisfy that niche.

The more I think about the concept behind the anti-gremlin bomb, the more I like it, though it did occur to me: the notion of it being a magnetic field doesn't quite jive--perhaps Graviton Wave instead? It also occurs to me that adding a mild slow might be in order (both in keeping with the Graviton theme, and balancing the damage not persisting beyond the bomb's AoE). Just something to think about.

I dunno, I was young and foolish. I've been trying Antigua later on, and I found it to be the absolutely worst thing I could bring against T2 devilites since the shots never seemed to connect and I'd only be able to hit with one bullet at a time before they dodged the rest of the shots. Nice against greavers, but I much prefer Callahan or Valiance against the devilites. Fehzor really liked it, though, so I guess the gun just isn't my style.

@Narfle
The anti-gremlin bomb has already been sort-of implemented in the form of Hexing Haze.

Wow, I feel like fail. I thought this thread was from last month, not last year. I never looked at the year until you said "I was young and foolish".
