Struggling mid-game with my bombsin

what gear did you go for ? did you invest into energy ?

I invested into dex for block. That was pain to farm signets, so I famed them from griswold. Currently my sin with around 300 signet's eaten. I've done some ubers with atmg build. Then I started elem druid and done another pack of ubers, that I could not do with my sin

well that makes it obvious then . a caster with points invested into dexterity (??? wtf??/) instead of energy will deal low damage .there's your problem . get reanimates / charmed monsters to tank so you don't have to . so you don't have to invest into defensive stats (tons of dexterity for max block) and defensive gear . Perfect being+blink should be enough if you go that way . energy + caster items . that's how a caster goes...

dexterity investment works only for ATMG sentry , that deals weapon damage .

Thanks for the replies guys, giving me a lot of ideas. I like the singularity/doom idea, seeing as doom also synergizes with elemental damage. Excited to see that bombsin mini-guide soon, Chuck

fixed

the Bombsin was not on my top priorities for the updates i had in plan . but who knows what might happen in the following days ...

Devouring Cloud + phase bomb as main combo. Last ltime i checked Immo/nova bombs deal nice dmg so that means it have no nd ( checked with almost same dmg immo bomb and fire sentry ), and immo bomb as heroic killer on switch from crafts like ppl used it for ages or thunderstone armor or what ever multihit with huge dmg output ( pyroblast/flamestrike/abyss ).

Right Chuck, I was agreeing with your fixed statement as well as mentioning that doom lowers resists for bomb ele damage as well

will be trying this out when I get home today.

that's not doom, you're thinking about phase bomb

There's not even a single reason that I can think of to sacrifice your best ability (phase bomb) to use singularity instead. It conflicts with vampiric icon/psychic scream/blink and doesn't synergize with cold spell damage. Phase bomb is better against heroics, it functions as a defensive ability and doesn't take 50 skillpoints to deal mediocre damage, because that's what singularity will do without stacking phys/magical. You could just roll a shadow avatar amu instead and deal 2x more damage.

If you want a singularity based bombsin, stack phys/magical, smax phase bomb (psionic storm could be another option), singularity and doom. Use bane claw vs. heroics (although I have no idea if this will work against teleporting AI).

My mistake. So on wmd attacks its ttad + doom + doom, on spells it's just doom.
