was expecting the retribution line....

well.... its (maybe)hard put dps on bombs since:-
I can put charged bomb faster by doing timing (that means i put down earlier then the shine say "its charged")
Swift shield and fallen set
CTR

maybe~ can if zeddy interested about it.

DPS numbers exist already.

DPS numbers exist already. PM zeddy. While you're at it you can ask him a bit about the feel of the bombs. BaB definitely feels liek a completely different weapon from nitro :P

Good luck

Aiden

Thank you for the responses. It will be hard...the knockback from BAB is a big problem.

hard to decide what constitutes DPS for some bombs

The Lancer Knightz data project used to estimate DPS on swords, guns, and bombs. They stopped doing it on bombs because certain bombs (shard bombs, vortices) were really hard to compare fairly. For example, do you count the vortex collapse damage on a vortex bomb? If not, then the bomb does abysmal DPS. If so, then do you also count the thawing damage on Shivermist Buster?

That said, there's no reason not to compute DPS for the more damage-oriented bombs. Just get the charge times from the Bombing Guide, and the damage numbers from the bombs' wiki pages, and combine those into a DPS number.

Words of wisdom:

Shard bombs in the right hands (and setup) can give the highest DPS in the game. (For bombs)

Autofire: Shard bombs have nothing on Dark Retribution, but except for that you're right.

In my chart, I've calculated shard bomb DPS as hitting with core + 2 shards and DR as hitting with 12 orbs, which I believe is the max amount possible.
