Question to Bombers

What goes through your mind when you find that perfect stack of players to bomb, but one person throws down a Blinding Flare and stuns you?

I bet I revealed 10+ bombs yesterday saving our group while we were sieging and such

    If I was one it'd be break free + dodge roll towards the group. Bombing is already a suicide run so might as well get a couple of kills off.

    What goes through your mind when you're talking to your group about what keep to hit next, then out of the blue everyone's health just starts dropping, and within 4 seconds 20+ players are dead including you?

    I bet your first thought was contemplating why you reinstalled this game to begin with.

    Honestly, most assuming they arent going to live long afterwards.

    Just like with all in gank builds. Those players generally assume them dying is part and parcel of the playstyle. It's funny to me how many players feel themsleves or feels this overwhelming sense of comeuppance when they thwart a bomb (or gank) attempt when 99 percent of the time, the nb player is simply checking off the potential outcomes and doing it again with zero ego attached.

    You dont sign up for that type of play style for any kind (im bad ass) satisfaction or without accepting the 50/50 potential failure states that come with the risk vs reward.

    To answer your question directly....

    Complete abject indifference. It probably makes the thwarting players day (or play session) FAR more than it ruins the nb bombers'.

    Pretty much, we go in knowing the odds are stacked against us, yet we still roll those dice. It's just a life style not everyone is built for.

    Usually, I bust out laughing, and then think that I should've been a little more careful about what I was doing.

    Like I've said on other threads, I tend to be one of the players capturing flags and repairing doors, so I get bombed a lot. I survive lots of times, but when I get hit by a good bomber (and when you survive a lot of mediocre bombers, you learn who the good ones are) I take it in good humor. If I was just being dumb and unobservant, then I deserved to die to a bomb, and there's no point in doing anything but laughing at myself for it.

    Probably the same thing I think when I have the perfect smash lined up but get hit by a perfectly timed javelin/fear/fossilize/whatever.

    "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu**"

    Followed by "I really wish I was smart enough to same my immovables for times like this"

    What goes through my mind? "F&*# it, I'm doing this anyway." I've literally run into a group flared not caring I was seen b/c it was too late, for you (general you) not me. BOOM you're still all dead anyway--this time you just got to see it coming.

    Flares suck sure, but if immovable is running all it does is reveal me.

    Ah not true, not true. Bowblade ganks generally have like 10 to 1 KD ratio if played safe. Proper positioning and switching targets make you uncatchable.

    100% lmao // Fun fact I did actually reinstall 4 days ago, so the new CP tree confused the *** out of me, realized after dying to every bomb for 7 hours that I never equipped the cp things, so I had 1800 crit resistance getting one shot by everything and its mother lol

    2 things -

    If its my group I start spamming my healing and praying everyone is buffed up

    If its a random group and I see you going into bomb I clench my butt and hope they dont roll towards me and bring the VD to me "sucks to be them" lmao

    That scene from the first Jurassic Park, where that Raptor handler guy see one Raptor in front of him, and then suddenly sees another one to his side, and he knows he's pretty much dead but before he dies he says in a proud voice "Clever Girl..." and then it's game over.
