While I was playing SK, I joined a party and used bombs for the whole depth.
At the end of the depth he said,
"for gods sake put the bombs away -.-"
"im not good at killing wolvers with a sword"
"i use swords all the time ur just a wuss"
It made me sad.
Am I wuss for using only bombs?
OOO should allow one day on April 1st to have bombers shove nitromes into people's mouths and see the true power of the Death St- I mean boms
No. You are in no wrong. In fact, bombs are some of the most important and field changing weapons out there. Sure, they aren't for everyone, but they are no less involved. In fact, it takes a calculating eye, a steady hand, and a quick wit to really master the brimstone art of bombs. Meanwhile, all he needs to do is hit the key that starts a dash; swing his unstoppable troll blade which, already ignored by the balance department has cultivated into a weapon the mods only wish they could have; and if that doesn't work, toggle to polaris or blitz as fast as possible while backpedaling. THEY are true cowards, who cannot be bothered to put more thought into their fight than a brute charge, and who dart away if their first plan fails. You get to truly know and be part of the field in other ways. Feel free, take the more tactical route. You are truly vital to making a party do the best it can do.
When he gets surrounded, toothpick in hand. No knockback, no quick escape. The greavers come and make it worse. THEN... he will know how much he misses services like yours. Or how about vana? Ever ask him before he left how well he does vana without a shiver? Most people will probably agree on either "crap" or "good, as long as a replacement or equal can fill in" Parties all around look for you. You are no coward who flees back. You charge into more danger than he could ever think of. He can go get eaten by a rabid snarbolax. We salute you, sir.
So sayeth, a gunner. And no, i do not have any pulsar, death needle gun, or uber blade to my name.
You are brave for using bombs, you are one of the few brave souls that had the balls to use them as primary weapon. I kinda only use them on specific mission or just for fun while soloing. Bombs are just not my thing, I am sorry Zeddy, but sword gun hybrid combo is the way to go for me. And now thanks to the raidant drought, the 5* bombs are now all out of love (the med CTR on the lvl10 bomb makes a huge different), the demo suits are good but I would really like to see shadow/piercing demo suits in the future.
ps. I got a master blast bomb, used it in RJP elite, it was awesome...
I'm no bomber, but I seerusly respect any that does join my team. It takes legitimate skill to use bombs to their fullest, unlike gunners and us strikers who just spam the attack button.
Bombers are the ballsiest players, if not a little -too- self-righteous. Going full bomber more often than not makes you seem like a liability to the lesser experienced who don't understand how valuable the utility a bomb can bring.
Nitronome spamming on the other hand... I get damn headaches from just ONE of them flashing.
I honestly wish more players took up on bombing. They may not have that extreme damage that skolvers have, but that is made up for in utility. A good bomber can be the difference between life and death for a squad. Destroyerofthenort gave us a very good example of when anyone would wish a bomber could just step in, grab his Big Angry Bomb, and blast away all those greavers that would have no doubt destroyed a spark. But alas, this skolver has already called you down and went on without your help. Now he faces the punishment of death.
Ha ha!
How do we know he was a skolver? For all we know (and all I care), he could have been an idiot wearing gunslinger armor or something. Just because he used swords made him a skolver. Okay.
I wish there were more people with the true "Bomber's patience." It's one thing to punch the mobs into corners, it's another thing entirely on it's own weaving through them unable to move them freely and walking away as your enemies drop dead behind you.
Bombers are wusses...
Because they have to hold back their true power otherwise face the end of all existence. You see, Bombers are secretly insanely buff and superior gods that have to hide their true identity from common folk like us. Their true power are those of gods, they craft mountains with fists, create worlds with breathes, and bring life to galaxies.
However, they hide their power as they fear that gods will turn against them, and remove their power, as they did long ago.
THE END.
Hand the man a shard bomb and ask him if he feels like a wuss using it anywhere.
Waed, (Weedalot, under a new name, but he'll always be Waed to me) is an awesome bomber.
LD, FSC, all around. Awesomeness.
I am more of a swordie but, I have my share of bombs in my Arsenal, a couple haze, blast, and the one and only DR (slowly working my the spine cone)
//I have one shard bomb....
All types of bombs hold a certain type of technique to them for their attacks to be the most useful.
I have few choice words for those people but unfortunately I'm not allowed to say them.. But my answer is no, using only bombs does not make you a wuss.
At least it doesn't IMO..
