I can't blow my way through that wall, grab a rapier

I mean, really. A block wall 3-4 knights thick, should I use these bombs--the explosive weapons of mass destruction? Nah, bombing through that super thick fortified wall would take too long. Better to just use a rapier.

I'd not complain about the absurdity of this being addressed. Like let bombs knock through the first and damage the second. Does anyone not think that bombs should blow up stuff like destructible blocks and mineral piles quicker? It takes just as many hits, accept we have to charge it over our head, wait for the fuse and KAAA-bloom. Nothing.

Its a bomb. Lets go ahead and give it the ability to blow stuff up.

I've noticed bombs blow through those tank-buster girder-thingy objects with ease though

Hey Mayans, I'm still aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiive

I agree entirely with Uniquevariant. What are explosives used for? Breaking things into itty bitty pieces.

I even think this is one of those reasons why i never became a full time bomber.
Being a poke stick master is was easier.

I support this, but depending on the bomb. Vaporizer's mist of course not. NotShards dunno if they should bounce or "stay on top" of the blocks.

It would also be fun if "Vortex" bombs were able to attract debris/blocks and throw them out, inflicting big added damage. In fact, I think they should already do damage when throwing caught enemies towards other ones, but that is just me I suppose.n

Blast bombs should be able to destroy blocks easier, but the rest of them are alright as is.

Gives bombers better chances.

Perhaps, after the initial blast (which would still blow away all enemies in the radius.), it'd have two smaller aftershock blasts that did half the damage of the initial blast. It wouldn't affect PvP or most things affected by KB at all since they'd be usually out of the radius but it would affect blocks and other things that wouldn't be moved (thus making facing the twins, battlepods, Vanaduke's mask or blocks and minerals much less tedious.)

After the RSS became a horrible weapon, I have given up on all bombs that don't cause status effects. If this was at least for the 4/5star blast type bombs. (Nitronome, Big angry, Deconstructor.) then I might actually try working on my bombs again.

When playing as a bomber (which really doesn't happen often) I've actually found myself in situations where I've called for my party members to come over to me and help me break blocks. That's a pretty sad thing to fall back to.

Totally relevant

On bombs, there should be 10 blasts each (shock horror). No really:
-1st blast does damage and KB.
-Other 9 blasts are merely there as hits - they don't do any damage or knockback, but still hit. Make them deal 0.1 damage or something, but they will hit and consequently destroy blocks/crystals quickly. Also, if any enemies walk into it, you will hear the annoying hitsound of that enemy 4EVAH

Also a universal buff to bombs as they are, after all, things to blow stuff up. They should do more damage per hit than a sharp stick.

@Raisinfist: That just screams lag machine right there...

There was a universal bomb buff a while ago, same patch as the universal gun buff.
