Should anyone have the power to take out a whole group with one stealth kill? Does anyone think that Zerg Bombing is cheap, nasty, requires very little skill yet is too highly rewarded? Surely the skill behind a stealth kill is escaping the wrath of your victims allies afterwards?

    Just about everyone is wearing heavy armor now so I can't see bombs happening as often. Props if you can still pull off many

    well I am not sure now,

    in case you are talking about the bomber build (proxi det, vicious death, clever alchemist, shadow image, soul tether), then you should think again, how hard it is to time it right and how many times the bomber dies doing it


    in case you are talking about nerfing NBs in general, then I have a swear word for you....

    Takes more skill then standing inside a zerg hoping your friends take dmg for you. This is punishing that mentality which is a good thing.

    Everything needs a counter *cough* proc sets *cough*

    Hmm... This is a difficult question, I don't think it should be removed but I do think it should be nerfed slightly. But then again the dude who does the bombing normally can take around 6 people down like you said, however if there are more people there than 6 then the bomber has no chance of surviving. I believe this is the only attack that can take down multiple people at one time, and not every class can do it...

    Not sure what to think of the 'no' option in this poll, as I wouldn't exactly say it's fun to be bombed. It is deserved, however.

    Everything needs some type of counterplay. Bombing is a counter to zerging, if executed well. It's quite hard to pull off nowadays and if you get bombed you simply deserve it, fun or not. That's how you learn from your mistakes.

    I havent gotten bombed or seen any bombers at all since the one tamriel update. Stamina meta.

    Most players still don't know that you can simply block a bomb attempt...

    I made that option because there are players who think it adds entertainment value even when they're bombed themselves. Didn't want want to leave anyone out now. I appreciate everyone's vote wether they agree with me or not. That's the point of a poll. Hell... I might even change my opinion at end of it but it's not likely at the moment. Maybe going more towards nerfing.

    The only reason for that is because the update is new and Cyrodil is temporarily quiet with everyone duelling and farming new sets. They'll be back.

    If you're in a group larger than 4-6 you deserve to be blown up.

    Not to mention the fact that if you're decent at the game, playing with other players who are decent at the game -- you aren't going to get 1v14d by a NB bomb.

    But I do think sets like VD should be removed or altered a bit, I watched about 15 plus DC on a flag in a keep, all fall over dead at one time, that's is to much and just not mmo game play or how it is suppose to work, in a first person shooter I am not even sure a grenade would have taken out that many, but defeating a bomber trying to run in on you and they get no kills is a fun thing.

    I run a MagDK bomb build and getting kills certainly isn't easy without perfect timing. It's much more skilled than it seems. Very rewarding when i get it right, but I also spend a lot of time being instantly smashed to bits by the zerg. It still plays it's part by at least doing a good amount of AOE damage when zergs collide.

    Hahaha, nobody wins a war on their own. Especially you skulking gollum creatures/wannabe suicide bombers, who can apparently survive even though they're at the epicenter of the explosion hah.

    No offence intended, just a bit of fun hah.

    Not mine either, guess Im just more annoyed with them than most players. I accept defeat non the less but my opinion stands :( no point polling if we can't accept all possible outcomes.
