I'll never see Shield Bash obsoleting Swagger Storm. I've yet to learn how to Shield Bash well, though.

@Owao
Well, the primary reason nobody used stun weapons is because they are all just outmatched by something else, such as BAB/irontech vs nitro, or suda vs DA/GF, hard to get, such as stagger storm when there are better things to spend on, like voltedge and electron vortex, or associated with a ton of rage, in the case of the shard bombs. I myself rarely use my RSS anymore because I had made it for a sidearm on my wolver cloneness, and now it's only usable by a pure bomber.

I believe Scintillating Sun shards have a stronger stun than BAB/Irontech.

@Flyingninza I feel BAB is the Sudaruska/Iron Slug for the bombs- slow but powerful. It is in its own right good, and personally I would use it more than Nitronome... once I can get my hands on a piece of mad bomber. I personally don't think it's too much effort to get a stagger storm. Okay, perhaps for some people who don't play Lockdown regularly, they could ask someone to help them craft MK II and thus a 50 krogmo coins less to grind. I personally will say I do Lockdown quite regularly, with all Krogmo recipes and Krogmo bombheads to show off with. Honestly speaking though, a majority of players do Lockdown (at least used to, I guess?) since it's all that's left of the game when you get all your gear and beat Vanaduke and things like that. Regarding RSS, this is probably more of a preference thing, I still like it, I still use it, but when the only piece of demo gear you have is a Volcanic Demo helm, even Nitronome is hardly worth using.

Shield Bash drains half your shield bar, can't be used at ANYTHING less than full, and only its enemies you touch, so it will never surpass weapon-based sources of stun.

Also anyone thing a stun alchemer could be a good idea? Maybe give that to nova driver or something? I just like the idea of long-distance stun, but callahan doesn't do it reliably and bombs don't have as much distance as area.

I prefer my nova driver to keep its higher damage without Status, thank you very much.

Now what would be interesting is coming up with the idea behind it. To fit what ninja-gyles said, it could be a shadowtech alchemer whose poison bullets are really radioactive [something] bullets. Now what would it be called is a good question. Radioactech Alchemer?!

Now if you brought Stun to something like, say, a Brandish line, many -might- use it because Brandish is a good weapon. Conversely even with the very useful shock, hardly anyone uses shocking salt bomb because the mechanics are "not as effective" as a Brandish line. You see the point here? It's not about the status, it's what the weapon does that makes people choose it over the rest. Coincidentally, stun just happens to be stuck on weapons supposedly outclassed by others (Except Stagger Storm and Callahan I guess, but even then...).

Poison to Graviton Vortex sounds good to me..sounds good with acheron as well but I doubt they'd do that.
