As a lifelong bombs-only kinda guy - I'd love to see a little more support for us bombers.
Namely, a shield specifically for us - Ideally with a Bomb CTR Med.
Shield for solo bombers

MK, the idea was for a BOMBER
MK, the idea was for a BOMBER specific shield.
In retrospect, Damage + MED would probably be a better mod, then -
Fantastic, really.

Son, I would rather have dmg of fuse time reduction.
And I'm a bomber.
We have trinkets and TWO lines with CTR.
While DMG trinks and Bombastic/mercurai, They would have to sacrifice CTR or use trinks.
So a DMG bomb will make Bombastic rendundant for the sake of DMG bombers becoming more proimient.

@Zolb
Here's how I imagine discussion playing out in that first thread I linked:
Delardino: How about a CTR shield?
Zolb: Well what about limiting that shield to a bomb CTR bonus? Swordsmen and gunslingers can already take advantage of BTS and/or Swiftstrike Buckler, so doesn't it make sense that bombers should get something too?
*DISCUSSION ENSUES*
Here's how I imagine discussion playing out in the second thread I linked:
Tsubasa-No-Me:
"Bomb Timer ****
Defense: Elemental, piddly
Effects: MSI med, Bomb CTR Med
Description: A high-tech timer helps you set your bombs faster, which may or may not make them even more detrimental to your health."
Skold-The-Drac: "As far as these shields... yeah... the SSB needs at the minimum a bomber equivalent. +1 to piddly shield awesomesauce"
Diamondshreddie: "i'd use the MSI bomber shield."
Oh wait, that's how the discussion DID play out in the second thread, because part of it was about a BOMBER specific shield.

I didn't add that much to that particular convo. Tsu typically thinks of the stuff that I do a bit before I suggest it. But still standing behind my comment. Bomber specific shield/ MSI would be very helpful.

@Skold
My point was that the idea of a bomber-specific shield has been brought up before, and there is some relevant discussion regarding it.
On an unrelated note, I misspelled your name in that post. Fixing...

Add in a chaos shield; 5
Add in a chaos shield; 5 star* low bonuses to match the head and body parts XD Helps every build out in a way and not just a 'bomb shield'

2 shields
one with damage bonus and one with a ctr bonus.
honestly, i think the damage bonus would be better.
CTR is kinda redundant for a bomber, since the two most commonly-used sets are Volcanic and Mad Bomber, both of which give max CTR if you use them with a level 10 bomb.
