The ultimate bombgroup?

[fortunefish]

because it would be boring frankly Tilda.

I was going to come here to say "Fu all im going to do it and own you all" but somehow my confience is knocked by the big post .

I feel that i wanted to do something hard, but not something that is going to have a high profile (on of the only full bombgrps around) and then crash and burn. Maybe Enclave have it right, a half and half setup. More utility that way. I was inspired by films such as Ahm/DH/french DH ones...though it seems in commonplace RvR there is no room for this.

Thats why, I'm going to try it on heehards (Decode this anyone who isnt a GM ) and then If it works i will move to live and exp it up, if we find that without ToA we cannot win then we have no chance with it.

There are some unskilled players out there, we will just have to pray on those untill we get up ranks.

Wish me luck, and I hope to be able to pull a group together this summer (around june) if daoc is still alive <3.

Regards and thanks for your help

P.S. I will be making a RvR group (fotm or bomb) nomatter, so ill see you in summer with a regular tank/caster hybrid grp if my bombsquad dies.

Imo try and go for it. As some have said already this setup wont be working well v other "normal" groups running about but moments do occour. Our old setgroup contained 1 sup sm and we did manage to drop the bomb quite a few times on even other set groups.

Where your suggested group will really shine will be around keeps and towers. I could imagine it would be heeps of fun

Maybe it would be possible to create a setup that could still bomb yet also be able to perform ok ( not optimized ) in the fg warfare. Perhaps something in the lines of:

pac
aug
sham
thane
skald
bd
warlock
dark rm

ae stun+st+twf+wl pbaoe dump while rm spams ae nukes can still cause quite some havok. You can also swap out the skald for another dark rm for more dps and ae when needed, but I think maximum speed will be needed for a group who highly gonna depend on getting the jump.

gl with it

Yep we're currently running with a sup sm as well. He was supposed to respec to dark when we were done with PvE but we're having to much fun with him being sup. Even a single halfsuccessfull bomb can make an entire night of running our setgroup worth it .

The feeling when you win a normal fight = great.. a feeling of accomplishment. The feeling when you win a fight in under 5 seconds = hilarious.. pain in your tummy from laughing non stop for 15 minutes after it

that's what I want

Its funny for sure yeah, but after i've had my first few 4-5mins+ fg fight that is vastly what I prefer now. Thats 4-5 mins of adrenalin rush where to just 5 secs

That said I do miss a good ol' bomb now and then and maybe our group is even capble of doing just that as ppl should not underestimate the power of AE hammers of doom!

Just zerg it off him!

Replace 'SM???' with BD or RM depending on who's playing, and you have it.

 

[Bubble]

drop the pbaoe group, doesn't work now

Too meny people have wised up about interupts etc (even if 2 SM's Fire MoC3, there not going to do good enough damage)

 

[Bahumat]

the best group is

8x paladin all with WOC3 har har!

 

[Muylaetrix]

Mabe an alb group using some banelord?

Icer
Reaver/Icer
Reaver
Cleric
Cleric
Thurg
Friar

icer
icer
icer / ice theurg
reaver (banelord + twf)
friar (bg + ST)
mincer / sorc
cleric
cleric

seems to work for me, as long as we avoid roaming in the openb field, as single group, with a setup like this.

only rarely that we have a reaver running with us though... most often a third cleric or tic tbh...

one would be surprised how well this could work ^^
tic's assist focus nuking on same target,can only be interrupted in melee
which means the reaver should slam all tanks of the heretics,which then nuke down tanks asap,can even get 1 heretic to focus on ae snaring support for interrupts etc..

i'd love to try this setup
