What do they represent... CTR or movement speed while charging the bombs...
From what I infer, they seem to represent movement speed more than the CTR comparing the CTR of the nitronome bomb and the Big Angry Bomb
Can some1 enlighten me// confirm this hypothesis?
Theres three things relating to speed on a bomb
1. CTR
2. Movement speed while charging the bomb
3. The time in which the bombs explodes from its placement time...
And the bomb's speed bar represents the most insignificant thing relating to the importance of a dps bomb...
Thats pretty lame...
ikr, but ctr is varying and isnt shown as a bar on any weapon at all.
but saying that... vaporizers have a longer overall charge time then blast and crystals have shorter. =S i think the bar could just be an overall representation of all three points. and dps isn't important on a bomb, and bombing is more about where you place it, and it isn't always good to spam like swords and guns.
I think movement speed or charge.
I haven't used every bomb but if it was by placement time til explosion, then every vaporizer would have a decreasing speed bar as it advanced (you know if bars didn't lie).
I know the vortex has a slower walk speed than all the haze bomb series and its speed bar is shorter to match. I don't know about the vortex's charge time however.
But you said crystals have a shorter charge time, yet on the bars they're the same as the haze bombs so that's why I reason it might be movement speed.
Damage per say might not be important but the CTR and movement speed is...
Besides, bombers are best for danger rooms and arenas where there is large enuff mayhem for a good AOE to beat swords and guns.
Thats where nitronome gets spammed smack in the middle of the room and nothing touches you :D
pretty sure its the time from when you place it, till when it explodes.
