    Also with the band aid fix on Clever Alchimist bombers have been heavily nerfed. Starting combat before bombing is stupid and will have the majority buffing as the combat audio cue kicks in.

    It is all about zerging now - Join one or be farmed :)

    Solo bombing not possible, sure, but who bombing with a tank e teeing the fray and putting the magvlade in combat first definitely is.

    Troll tank wades into group, magvlade sweeps an up.
    Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.

    ugh, I got caught yesterday hacking away at some stupid tank while I got bombed from behind :#

    amazingly enough though - I don't feel compelled to blame zos for getting caught with my back turned...

    Edit: full disclosure - I got a couple of tanks (dang sure not unkillable though) too...and, yeah - nothing brings quite the joy of holding a few players attention while someone comes along to wipe them :D

    So having an enemy go into the fray and having everyone buff up works best?. I would disagree. This would spread out the majority of groups and have them buff, which would definitely make bombing harder/impossible.

    One of my most memorable moments in eso was tanking a group of 6 "elite" players on a DK while my wife bombed them on her mageblade and got a clean wipe. It was the first time we'd pvp' together, made 200k AP each in ~3 hours that night

    Sounds like hell of a moment :)

    ahh, but the troll tank will not require them to defensively buff. You get someone that does no damage but is a rock. Everyone will blow thier load trying to kill him, they are not worried about barriers and blocking, they are bloodthirsty to kill the player foolish enough to enter their zerg domain.

    While they are busy with this distraction, bombblade does their thing.

    The point is, you may have to get clever to use clever alchemist.

    Thing is, for a good bomber all you need is a few idiot pugs to die to wipe most of a group.

    Bombing mostly works because of VD and Proxy Det.

    Fasalla's Guile, Durok's Bane and Iron Blood sets sound interesting with your strategy. Throw in Mighty Chudan, Blood Spawn or Earthgore set and it'll be fun.

    a) The nerf to CA hurts bombers who ran CA and VD together but it doesn't mean the end of solo bombing (VD can still be paired with other very good bombing sets).

    b) Tether-bombing is still a thing - the EotS nerf doesn't hurt that one bit for solo NB bombers.

    c) The nerf to EotS doesn't hurt group bombers (add 1 more bomber and you now have more DPS than before).

    Solo bombers are very easy to avoid and kill, but organised guilds which just running around with EotS are really annoying and this nerf is really nice step.
