The Big Angry Bomb is currently a poor choice, but will be buffed in the future.

Nitronome is a good choice for now.

If you can wait, get the Big Angry Bomb. If you want power now, go Nitronome.

I'm no bombing expert so expect many opinions.

Bombing Guide

Have you read the Bombing Guide on the wiki? It discusses all of these bombs in detail.

What is this Big Angry buff? Did OOO really recognize that it needs more buffing? Where did they state this?

They already "buffed" it once... when stun is fixed, it will be slightly worse than nitronome (more dangerous).

@Soarel: What?/

"If you can wait, get the Big Angry Bomb."

How on earth can you conclude this? Unless you're prescient and can tell that the buffed BAB will be better than the Nitronome, there's no way to come to that conclusion. We know that it will be buffed; we do not know by how much.

Go for Nitronome.
Big Angry currently has a slow fuse, long charging time, speed penalty, and inflicts Stun, which is a bugged status at the moment. It has a lower DPS compared to Nitronome - although the Big Angry deals more damage per blast, it takes so frigging long for the damn bomb to go off and charge that the Nitronome outdoes it.

The only thing Big Angry really has going for it (at the moment) is that it looks cool.

Stun may be buggy, but it's

Stun may be buggy, but it's still great for bombers, although dropping a Stagger here and there between Nitros would essentially result in the same thing~

If you are a troll, go with the Big Angry Bomb.

If you are a troll in training, go with the Nitronome.

@Dark: Stagger Storm isn't the same, since it consistently inflicts stun on opponents. Big Angry and SSS, however, don't, which is why they are unreliable and potentially dangerous due to the double-attack glitch. In addition Big Angry takes a while to charge and set off even with max CTR, so your stun is liable to keep wearing out before it can get re-inflicted again.

They fixed stun.

They fixed stun.

As I have heard from other players.

"It was only a one liner at the bottom of a patch".

Aye, I was expecting more of a "They finally fixed stun" promo event with hats and Haven deco and explosions, but all it got was a single line underneath the Hallow promo patch. Was sad.

Well they really shouldn't be making a huge deal out of fixing it- it was a bug... and it bugs me when they do make a big deal out of these kinds of things. Its like they're incredibly proud of themselves or something.

Lol, except that they "fixed it" to be worse than it was before in regards to its usability.
