Ever wanted to know how to bomb? What to wear? Whether sorcerer or other non nightblade classes can bomb? This video covers all of that and much more. Can't watch the video? I've put a summary of the key points in the video below but these are really cut back so I'd highly suggest watching the video.

What is bombing bombing in the elder scrolls online?
Bombing is all about stacking as much damage you can to one shot individuals or a group of people you often sacrifice your defence and you're sustained to do so but is very very effective you'll do skills like proximity detonation or you'd use the destro ultimate and sets like vicious death, dark convergence and plaguebreak to help with this.
What do we mean by bombing and which types are there?
Well there's actually three kind of distinct ways to bomb currently the kind of go-to you know traditional type of bombing is your night blade in your face melee bomb.
Melee bombing - This is all about using proximity detonation and then using an ultimate like soul tether and then sap essence to help finish people off and confirm the kills. This will often proc the vicious death which will then cause a chain reaction killing more people in the process. The idea is that you're trying to line the proximity detonation up with your soul tether and you spam sap essence to confirm the kills. If done effectively and well, you will get kills almost in a one shot or thereabouts and people are often stunned from the soul tether as well so there's a little counter play to this. The only way to avoid this bomb is to be blocking, having a high health pool and not to stack in the first place. Keeping your defence buffs up will also help. You can do a similar job with necromancer, the idea is you're basically stacking your ultimate with the graveyard synergy or you'd use the flesh atronach and dark convergence which is a proc set that will pull them onto it and again the graveyard synergy.
Ranged bombing - Is less risky in my opinion. This is all about doing similar sort of effect but at range. The idea is that you're doing not so much a big initial hit which is what the melee ones are really good at. That one hit kill but instead this is about just doing so much sustained damage you can't out heal it and thus you die really fast. This is done really well on classes such as necromancer who have access to the flesh atronach or classes like sorcerer who have access to negate. You use sets like dark convergence which will pull people into the area you will then spam aoes such as elemental ring from the destruction staff. This can be done on any class. The best classes in my opinion are sorcerer because you got access to the daedric tomb which is the
but other classes can do this like templar because you have access to spear shards and beam to execute.
Plaguebrak bombing - This is a pseudo bomb. You do damage to someone and they get a dot on them, if they cleanse or die the dot explodes doing more aoe damage to everyone nearby and the damage scales up should people stack together. This works incredibly well against zergs who spam purges all the time but many of them have found ways to just avoid this by not stacking heavily or running more heal over times to kind of counter. In my opinion, it can't be relied on too much but rather you use it as a constant damage source with bonus aoe damage on kills. All in all, plague break it's not really bombing in the traditional sense but it is effective.
How to bomb
To bomb you're simply trying to line up as many sources of damage at once for melee bombing or even ranged bombing. You then follow up with sustained aoe damage to trigger kills. You need vicious death always and balorgh as a monster set. You then choose to use dark convergence to pull people in or a damage set like New Moon's. You want to access as many damage buffs as you can so often slot camo hunter front bar for minor berserk and use channelled acceleration or race against time for minor force. You'd get your damage buff from rally or a class damage buff skill. You then use an aoe spamable like elemental ring or sap essence and spam in the area. There are more guides on the channel about specific bomber builds and more to follow.
I'd suggest watching the video as it covers much more but I know people do like a typed version here so here it is.
Thanks for reading/watching and I'll catch you in the next video/post.
Take care and byeeeeeeeeeeeee!
