With the option of the Chaos Set now, the Mad Bomber set has become somewhat obsolete because the Chaos Set gives a non-specific upgrade to ctr and damage. There should be an alteration of sorts to the stats of the Mad Bomber to set it apart from Chaos. Anyone have any suggestions on how to change it? :)

This topic has been brought up quite a lot already, and it's a very tough one to answer. I think it just can't be done cleanly without introducing entirely new bonuses into the mix or redesigning almost every armour entirely.

Movement speed increase med to each piece
Movement speed increase med to each piece would be a good buff to the mad bomber helm and suit.

dmg max
Just sayin.
Give the bombers dmg max ability with mad bomber.
Give bombastic a stun/poison immunity.
Also give volcanic demo either stun resistance, or shadow defense.
Bombs get more power and nobody gets to complain because we still suffer fuse times and they still can get more variance out of chaos.
Merc demo would still get to be an odd duck with a lucky fin.

idiot much
Sure Ender, I mean why should bombers have SL armor worth crafting any more?

bomber sets
Speaking as someone who has been playing SK since February of 2011 (yay beta players with groundbreaker hats), and played bomber mostly since April 2011, and who has the volcanic demo set, mercurial demo set, and mad bomber set. If you added movement increase bonus to mad bomber set, I would still use the mercurial demo set in certain cases.
The mercurial demo set has no status penalties, actually has a strong resistance to shock. Still very useful in Ghosts in the Machine, as well as any depth with status inflictions.

Mercurial is only used
Mercurial is only used because everyone hates shock, bombers especially of all. But what of freeze? By buffing mad bomber more than needed, you're leaving bombastic behind (if it wasn't enough already)

s'why you add status resist
If you buff mad bomb, bombastic AND volcanic would need buffs as well, an additional status resist on both of them would help emphasize their more defensive than mad bomber qualities. I could argue that adding a stun resistance to all the demo gear but mad would balance them better v. any buff to mad in my sight, would also make a bit more sense than most any other status resistances (save maybe merc).
Only problem to that is demos would "have an unfair advantage" to other classes for their additional resistance...
Not even an actual suggestion. -.-
I think the chaos set should just be nerfed to give only universal charge time reduction medium on each piece. I suspect it will be just as popular since it will be the only armor set which gives a charge time reduction to guns and swords (and bombs).
