Hi ive come to realise that getting bombed is fun to survive and laugh at dead friends. Also i think the thrill to try pull off a bomb must be really fun, so id appreciate some help building my first bomber. I main Pve Tanks and a stamsorc in Pvp so have no clue on CP/race/skills etc to pull it off, the only progress towards the build is that i have VD neck/rings/2 swords. I want to make a NB soul tether bomber, any help greatly appreciated ty.

    I haven't ran one but you might check out stygian set. I think some people use that. It's a medium set tho so you'd have to do weapons and jewelry for it I think.

    I'll give a cookie cutter magblade bomb build, just not sure on skills. Warmaiden, VD, Slimecraw, stealth potions WILL help here even with nb cloak. CP all about increasing damage to one target and buffing a few magic damage skills...I used it to bomb a couple of times, but couldn't get the hang of stealth.

    Warmaiden's is farmed from the Vvardenfell Ashlander Dailies or in Vvardenfell in general.

    I mostly run spinner/balorgh/vd best in slot combo wtih more then 200-250 ultie but a spinner grothdar or 1 kena/domi combo is also good, plus warmaiden is also viable, but I prefer Spinner cause it buffs your vd proc damage too

    NB Bomber Starter Kit:
    • High Elf
    • Balorgh
    • Spinner
    • Vicious Death (2 Swords frontbar nirn/sharp)
    • MSA Resto Backbar with Mutagen for some kind of sustain between bombs
    • Personally I run 1 Magicka Regen Glyph on Jewelry rest Spelldamage
    • Tri-Stat Enchant on Big Armor Pieces (Head, Chest, Legs) you'll need it for Rapid Maneuvers to get around faster
    • Lover Mundus
    • CW Citrus Filet Food or Witchmother
    • Stack the *** out of Master At Arms, Elfborn, Elemental Expert, Spell Erosion (priority in this order from high to low)

    Try to find a lowhp target in the Group you want to Bomb, tab target him/her/it, go around line of sight get maneuvers, proxy, grim focus up. Pop tether half a second before your proxy goes off. If the target dies Keep spamming Sap Essence and keep the VD chain going, if the low HP target doesnt die from proxy + tether, lightattack -> concealed weapon it and hope it starts the chain. After 3-4 Sap Essences try to dip out and go again. Out of combat pop trash potions to get your ultimate up, the more you have the better balorgh becomes.

    Your best chances for bombs are usually when a Zerg is Ramming Maingate and when people are unaware on Ressources sitting on the back of their horses.

    yes balorgh also buffs the ultimate when you pop it (its always gonna be at least 300 SD (Ult-Cost times 2) up to 1k so its better than 1 piece kena 1 piece balorgh which would give you flat 258 SD).
    For the psijic skill, you kinda need to run it but not for the major expedition, you run it for the minor force (10% more crit damage), they nerfed the *** out of major expedition and now you only have like 4 seconds or so of major expedition when you pop the ability.
    Also yes 3 infused jewelry with spellpower glyphs are more damage than arcane jewlery with spell damage even though the difference is really small, especially on a nightblade with max magicka passives.

    Edit: the psijic skill gives 9 seconds of expedition so it might be enough just running that. and go full magicka glyphs on armor.

    Other people have already mentioned Balorg/Spinner/VD but I think it's important to reiterate that's it's the best setup for a bomb build, period.

    I've seen Destro Ult be used over Tether. Not sure if it's better than Tether but I've seen it used to pull off some gnasty bombs.

    I was just thinking tether bomber uses tether, mag det and the aoe siphon skill (forget name) so whyy isnt lightning staff stronger than dw with 8% aoe dmg vs 6% all damage

    Spinners(divines) or warmaiden, VD jewellery + dw(nirnhoned and sharpened) infused jewellery spell damage w/resto back bar 2 Balorgh

    Weapon Glyphs don’t matter as you won’t be in combat long enough for it to proc.

    Skills

    Front bar (dw)
    Concealed weapon (faster movement speed in sneak)
    Merciless resolve
    Mage light
    Sap essence
    Shadowy disguise
    Soul tether

    Back bar (resto)
    Swallow soul (ulti build)
    Retreating manoeuvre (speed/stun prevention)
    Proxy det
    Channeled acceleration
    Healing ward
    Soul harvest

    Duel wield is the way to go regardless of destro or tether just for the bonus from the passives. I’ve tried using destro but it didn’t hit as hard as duel wield does

    You always want to make sure you have an Assassination ability on each bar for the extra crit damage.

    Practice your timing first. The proxy det is roughly 8 seconds before it explodes which means you want to time it so that it goes off at the same time as you activate your soul tether. (Roughly zero seconds...)use sap essence to clean up any leftovers.
    The only downside about a tether bomber is that you only get one shot at it.Don’t be disheartened if you fail. People starting off will fail 99.9% of the time! I recommend using one dagger and one sword (sword for 2.5% dagger for extra crit)
    generally you want to find a group that is grouped closely together and have their guard down. (Repairing doors, after taking a rss etc) The best way to learn is to find someone who is a bomber and pick their brain. Generally, they will be able to set you up with a good cp set up.
    Unfortunately I switched to destro and cannot remember the cp set up for tether but you want to focus on crit, direct damage, penetration, and then magic damage.
    You can also watch YouTube videos but it doesn’t show you the 60% of fails that occur due to either bad timing (activating ult early), the group separating just before the bomb goes off or just bad rng. Even the slightest bit of lag can make or break the bomb.

    Mechanical acuity is great if you run it Frontbar only so you dont get accidental procs.

    Dual wield is the way to go because it allows you to have single target viability and boosts your execute if you need to burst down the initial target. I usually run dual wield on bomber and staves on a pure magblade.
