    Default Archer's timebomb

    So i just finished doing some runs in rengol and i noticed that the bomb that the archers use there, does a pretty decent amount of dmg this wouldnt be a problem if the countdown is longer.

    What im suggesting is to make the countdown on the bomb just a little bit longer like maybe a second or two because once the bomb is played on you, you have no time to get out unless your already running in circles then in that case u might.

    so yeah its just a suggestion because if the countdown of the bomb is that quick then its gonna be pretty deadly in elite

    It also appears that the bombs can get you even if you are just outside the red zone.

    The best solution is to keep moving and don't stay in one location, then they never drop the bombs. It's only when you stop and stand in the same location that they target and then the bomb comes.

    Actually the bombs are nice, they take big chunk of hp off the orcs within the exploding radius as well ...
    Oh and it also stuns them, brute orc included .

    I found gale very useful with its movement speed buff for ren'gol map.One of them because I can move swiftly and avoid the bombs.The only problem is most of the mobs can stun and unfortunately for us thats also most of the time the archer will throw their bomb right under your feet.There are also sometime 2 bombs covering different area which make the bomb has larger exploding area.So a couple seconds for the timebomb would be good.Elite is coming anyway after Ursoth,the bomb would one shot kill any mage.

    You must move to prevent archers from locking your spot (which is bad news for elite because rogues tend to concentrate on the most problematic mobs and not run around, scattering the aggro).

    But, the bombs do affect mobs as well - I think using the bombs properly will be significant part of elite runs. Keep training in normal, while you can

    A single bomb does not. Maybe not even 2.

    I sense a problem in elites if u disable them, what about the healing mob... Do u just let him go ??
    Right now it isn't all that concerning, but imagine elites ......

    Bomb is ok as it is imo. And yes, double bomb one-hits me easily. I don't mind if single bomb one-hits me in elites - after all it's both preventable and avoidable.

    As for who does what to which mob - I tend to kill the buff guy first, then the healer. We shall see about elites, of course.

    With a heal every 3 seconds, somebody better keep the shaman busy in elites
