NG+ Bombs NERFED

Any point in using bombs anymore in NG+, aside from Northern Wind, Samum, Moondust and Dimertium, everything else seems to deal pathetic damage to NG+ foes. Was quite a bomber in the vanilla game, and was hoping to try the Cluster Bomb skill in NG+, but doesn't seem worth it now since all the superior damage bombs have been nerfed

Yep. This is called "balancement".

 

[cyberpunkforever]

yes, bombs are almost useless now

 

[MikeTheWitcher]

yup. superior grapeshot barely scraped a drowner.

to be fair, your not supposed to play a grenadier in this game... bombs are used for their effects ... grapeshot can still be used to stagger etc.

This guy speaks the truth. Depends on your view of their effectiveness. They were never meant to be damaging tools. They were an alternative for people not using signs. Signs are mainly for crowd control, or their oroginal purpose was, anyway (lol igni). And bombs are too.

Their special effects still work wonders. Moon dust, samum, northern wind... They still do great lovely things with cluster bombs, shutting down whole groups. Honestly, In NG, I've never ever used moon dust bombs. But in NG+, with signs needing a lot more intensity to be effetcive, I was actually using moon dust bombs for the first time ever on wraiths during the botchling-baron defense battle.

In any case... Nerfed in damage? Yes. And was needed. Nerfed in uses? Not really, You need to use 'm differently.

 

[zsedan]

I never used bombs besides destroying nests

 

[randyrhoads]

Is dimeritium actually good for anything? It doesn't help against any monster that should be disabled by it and there aren't that many fights against mages.

 

[Cz-99]

Bombs are for cowards.

Real manly men use fists to stagger monsters.

Try lowering the difficulty. They were always pretty useless on Death March.
