The "Guru is re-equiped thread" (Bombasin)

[DOC]

Well, I finished getting charms thanks to a very large donation from Pansy of CH. Got 10 Trap charms (mind you they are plain), and was have quite some fun dueling in pubs where I got laffed at for chasing down people and trying to drop blasts on them. I always found tele'ing duels to be fun, yet nearly impossible for me to master. I guess thats why I duel in CH, with no tele. But still, in pubby's I was able to hold my own, except against a few select groups. Mainly Foh pallies (no shadow) and absorb trappers. I dont really classify windy's as being hard, its just the ones who recast cyclone armor more than they try to hurt you. Melee's hate having to run through a SW, and hate it even more if they are being forced into block lock by a CBS, while I chunk bombs in front of their path. However, Odds are ima have to do some private duels with friends to gather up more strong/weak spots on this sin, since a pubby enviroment, although it has its place, is not the BM area I was aiming to duel in with this build

Anyways, feel free to post anything you will in here, and here are some screenies of my life challenged sin (MUST..... GET..... LIFERSS!!...)

Very cool. That last picture was great.

Hm...there has to be a better way to get CBF rather than Trang-Oul's belt...very expensive, but a Cham'ed Shako would allow you either more FB damage/some extra mana (Arachnid) or some extra PDR/life (Verdungoes)....

10/18% PDR seems a bit lowish if you're not going to be using 'Enigma' in CH duels...just IMO...

PS. That's Sandstorm Trek and not Waterwalks, right?

Well, I can use the enigma, just not the tele in CH. And i actully think there is a DR cap now on trappers so. (We have crazy rules, go figure)

Also, Arachnids/Cham/Sandstorms = Poor beaver
I will eventully gather up more items for switch duels/better gear like a cham/Arachnids, but until then, those boots are WW, and a cham is just another high rune that I dont have.

What tactics are you using in PvP?

Are you casting any minion traps? ie LS, CBS, DS?

I think you said you were casting CBS, if that's the case why didn't you max it third or fourth instead of LS?

I do use traps some of the time in my duels. Mainly LS for chasing down casters/forcing them to go a certain way towards my blasts. However, most of the time its actully a web or blast that they run over after they have been killed. Since I dont use MB on this build they are really just there for a outside source of dmg/scaring them into thinking i will stun lock them.

As for CBS I use it for Stun locking melee, because with all the bolts it shoots out from everywhere, it works much like a druids raven except I have 55 bolts shooting at once instead of 5 ravens. As for me not maxing it, well in a way you could call it a minor oversight. I had done so much chippydip's with this build before I actully made it, and when you test it out youll see that the dmg I would have gotten on my other skills would not have changed when it came down to maxing either CBS or DS. I chose DS now, well, I cant remember why, but i think it had something to do with the fact that I never knew how well that thing stunned and yet still did dmg. It wasnt until I first started dueling, just messing around and testing my dmg, that I saw its true ability. If I were to remake, then yes, I would max CBS first, however I would not be getting any more bolts released and only about 300ish more dmg per bolt.

Doc,

Any chance you'd do a PvM guide for the Bombassin?

I just don't know a lot about Fireblast, but I'm anxious to use it for PvM.

[GenXCub]

Lex: Fire Blast for PvM is fun... in fact it's hilarious. If you're able to get over the fact that it's not going to blow a room away like LS and DS, it's a nifty little spell if you have a lot of +skills to throw at it.

The further on the screen your target is (and you can target empty space), the higher she has to lob the bombs, so you can fire some off, then run around, 2 seconds later, they fall from out of the top of your screen. If you get good at it, it's just like using a Fireball sorceress since it has a 3.3 yard radius. I think it takes something like +25 skills to get the damage over 10k if you max 4 synergies. I do fine taking on the LI's in hell with my lower level one that does around 700-800 damage, and I rotate it out with blade fury when I feel bored.
