Hi, so in the bombing guide, it says that a Movement Speed Increase of VH can change the entire play style of a bomber.

May I ask how so? How about for other weapon types, like Sworders, Gunners and Hybrids?

Are ASI on bombs noticeable for the most part?

Thanks.

A drawback with using bombs is that you will constantly find yourself charging. Usually, charging most bombs will slow you down by 10%, making it harder to dodge things than what said things were scaled to work again. This is a very big problems when dodging mecha knights, for instance, which are notoriously faster than you while you're charging your bomb.

This changes with 16% extra movement speed. Suddenly you run faster while charging a bomb than the average knight not charging a bomb. Enemies were designed to be dodged at a certain amount of movement speed and with VH you run faster than that.

This s a big deal for bombers because bombers spend all of their time dodging attacks between charges. Gunslingers keep distance and swordsmen can't move while slashing, so MSI has somewhat less of an impact for them.

Thanks for the info. Yeah,

Thanks for the info. Yeah, those Mecha Knights are rather annoying.

I'm contemplating getting the Mercurial Demo Set for it's cool looks and the MSI. Would you happen to know how many % I'm looking at if I simply tack on my pet's MSI Medium?

Thank you.

No a must stat

Its help but its more luxury for a bomber or any other build but if you have the money for UV and trinkets go for mercurial.

Read the wiki page "Abilities". It estimates how much effect each level of MSI has. (It also explains how bonuses add, in case you don't know.)

Each level of MSI adds 4% to your base movement speed. Using just the MSI medium from your sprite would add 8%, not quite enough to outrun averege knights while you are charging a bomb.
