Hey folks! I have a level 58 Warsmith that I'd like to level using Big Boom, but I'm not sure where the best spot is. I'd like someplace outdoors, and of course being able to kill the mobs in one boom is also a must. So:
Outdoor aggros that a level 1 Big Boom can kill in one hit.
I'm looking for quantity over quality, so basically an area that I can get small amounts of exp from each mob BUT be able to kill in large numbers.
currently you can only kill 10 monsters maximum with the boom. and at that the boom is weak. bring an se to EMP the boom, and a prophet to Zerk it, and you should be able to successfully bring those 10 monsters to 1/2 hp.
boom got nerfed man, dont use it. best to pole yourself up instead.
Yea, I was gonna say, very wrong about the 10 mob max.
A friend and I decided to try it out at AB. We discovered that between our 2 booms, emp'd & zerked, if we used blessed pet ss, our 2 booms would kill all but the stragglers. (By the way, 10 mob guy, I was pulling 7-9 groups of 5 mobs each, all were getting hit.)
The unfortunate part of this.. each boom uses 99 blessed pet spiritshots. These little goodies cost 125a each in Giran at a 5% tax rate..
So, for our 2 booms we were paying out just under 25k per pull in sps. add in the 6 d crystals, and it just doesn't pay for itself.
I like poling, you can see how many groups you can actually tank, the challenge of trying to actually get the mobs lined up so that they all die at pretty much the same time. Much more fun than my blunt :)
right well 10 mobs was the limit in the PTS version of the game when c4 came out. i suppose they brought the unnerf hammer out when so many people cried about it.
nope
big boom was uneffected by the aoe limit as was the other aoe summons
trust me i used big boom on the pts and its the reason i am the lvl i am today

its a piece of crap dont even spend the sp on it
It's cute when it explodes. But then, I'm cuter when I do a handstand, so.. there ya go. Handstand = 0 sp.
