There are two abilities you're not utilizing that would take this to a whole new level. Still a fun watch. Good work showing the zergs what happens when you drop your guard!

I didn't see a single reaper's mark in there.

What's the other one?

you don't want to have a source of major berserk when you're trying to kill people who drastically outnumber you? lel

You're trying to tell me that there's no reason to give yourself a 25% damage boost on a build that's all about maximizing AoE damage in a short burst period?

Do you know how hard eye ticks when you've got major berserk up?

NightbladeMechanics · January 2017

@Lexxypwns Reaper's Mark boosts the damage of the dying guy's Vicious Death proc, too. It's a staple front bar ability.

Other skill is Impale for executing people left low by VD procs. Spamming sap to soften people up is fine, but Impale is instant damage, hits harder, and isn't subject to aoe caps. Much more reliable for popping the low guys to proc their VD, often resulting in chain kills to finish off larger groups.

Cloak and concealed go back bar on dedicated bomb builds, and ward, mist, and strife are unnecessary.

See, I run impale when I bomb, but ultimately, by the time I get ready to start executing everyone is either dead or I'm getting pressured too much to stay alive if I stay offensive

Ohh dont look at my abilities, this setup was with me since i started being more familiar with this class, its open field/group play setup, not dedicated to bombing

And its gonna change a lot, because I want to do more tricky things in the future, and changes to achieve that are necessary, some of them were already pointed here. Thx for suggestions

When I started running reaper's mark for bombing I started getting outrageous results. If your bomb doesn't totally fail you're gonna kill someone and if its the guy you marked... well its GG at that point, the VD explosion + sap with major berserk is going to kill squishy targets instantly and since that'll be after you unloaded your ulti+det it'll be enough to even drop tank builds as long as the stacking is tight.

Reaper's Mark?? To let them know you're coming? I always laugh when I get marked and I'm not a NB.

Good bombblades will mark you only 1 second before the bomb hits you. If you die you increase my damage to everyone else by 25% as well as heal me. We usually mark the squishiest player to lower their resistances to basically nothing. Bomblade marks aren't to keep a nightblade out of stealth but what I mention above. Most of the time we get back to back Ults because of how many kills we get.

FEAR THE BOMB BLADE!!!

Master_Kas · January 2017

That was some nice bombing

I haven't used tether for bombing in a long while. On Trueflame it feels like it tickles people but that might be because of all the Tankdpshealers builds running around.

1 second gives me plenty of time to block and if Templar, cleanse. All it does is let me know you're there. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of scrubs out there that it works on, but any half way decent player will block. But I guess that's who bombblades target, scrubby zerglings.

Keep trying to block that Destro. Destro is far more effective then tether. I have successfully bombed every primetime competitive guild on NA PC TF not just the scrubby zerglings. Give me your character name, the group you play with, and where you play and I will be happy to introduce you to a bomb blade build that will kill you.

If destroy ult then mist form.

Not trying to act like I've never been bombed, but the success rate is pretty low, even in 5 light.

If what you're saying about wiping competitive guilds is true then I don't think these competitive guilds are all that good. I'm not even very good but I survive almost all bomb attempts, though they're far and few between.

Even if I was on PC/NA you wouldn't try to bomb me, I don't run in ball groups... or mostly not even groups at all.

I'm not trying to talk down on the play style either by saying they target scrubs. When I do get bombed or ganked (unless it's team ganked) I just give them a tip of the cap, no salt, no rage. Targeting weak players is what I'm usually doing too as a solo player. Good players don't get 1vXed.

exactly

obviously that person never bombed beffore

Lexxypwns · January 2017

Everyone in here that thinks reapers mark isn't one of the best skills in the bomb-blade arsenal is clearly clueless. Major berserk is the most powerful damage buff in the game by a long margin and when you add that to a build that already is designed around putting out INCREDIBLE aoe damage, you get the whole next level of the monster.

Simply put, if you're a bomb blade and not running reaper's mark you're missing out.

If you're saying "Oh, I'll just block if I get marked" that's cool, eye isn't block-able and there's no way you can hold down block and move out of it before you die, in the midst of that and vicious death explosions, period.

If you cleanse the mark, so what, then I've wasted a couple thousand magika and you're still getting bombed.

@pcar944 if you doubt me its as easy as putting 1 skill on your bar and testing. But I'll tell you this, with major berserk up I routinely hit near emp levels of damage on eye. I've seen numerous crit ticks over 10k... That's 40% of the average player's health from 1 unblockable tick.

edit: I bombed a medium sized group last night with 2 80k hp blazeplars in it, they both melted to the inital burst. GG

Well done video, nice bombs u.u

Satiar · January 2017

Bombs aren't just something you do from stealth. Most of the bombs I have Crispen performing come when I've maneuvered the enemy group into a position that they cannot quickly and easily extract from. All it takes is one person dying in his storm, proccing VD and 25% bonus from Reapers.... and that's GG.

With reapers up you can hit 15k destro crits, if you can pull it off and have that damage for the next 4 seconds of damage why not?

This right here ladies and gentlemen, Steve gets it

NightbladeMechanics · January 2017

Proper tether bombers maneuver into the target group, empower with inner light, THEN apply reaper's mark right before they pop tether, with proxy going off simultaneously. There is slim time to react, and even if the target does react, they usually think the nightblade is far off in the distance -- not sitting invisible in melee range about to explode. Also, reaper's mark looks way different from piercing mark. Most people don't even recognize it.

Proper destro ult bombers pop a reaper's mark after entering the group with destro ult already raging, targeting the first person who looks like they panicked and are unable to heal through the damage, or someone they hit with a quick cc.

If you're not using reaper's mark on bombblade, then I'm sorry. You've much to learn. I don't remember the last time I saw someone using it.

pointless, it doesn't hurt you using it or not using it

good luck bombing someone who's not a complete potato

Just want to add, next patch, major berserk basically works to ignore the aoe cap for groups of 7-24 people. This means a full raid is taking 8k damage ticks from eye, while 1/4 of them are taking over 10k ticks and VD explosions going off. GG.

half the time in Trueflame can't even get bar swap to work, nevermind perfectly timing something like this lol
