I’ve linked the particular suggestions that came to mind. They’re definitely not exactly what was suggested, but they’re pretty similar. Could definitely have been coincidence for sure. But I feel pretty optimistic about @james and the dev team looking at these suggestions and at least drawing inspiration from them!
Sorry, end of hijacking!

I know a total rework is unlikely but I wanted to flesh out the full idea in case some parts of it can be used. Here are the main things accomplished by this rework.
Differentiate bombs from slingbows and fists in combat
Solve lag-related issues when using healing bombs
Allow bombs to be used in group hunts without unintentional griefing
Provide a limited way to bomb mine
The basic behavior of bombs changes. They now create little AOE zones that damage enemies standing in them.
The zones ca…
TLDR: Bomb damage progresses poorly, it should have durability increased to help, or some cool forging/skill options.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT BOMB MINING.
So I was really excited about the Rift Bombs, and they’re pretty amazing despite what I’m about to say (with some moderate forging and a mega strength brew, I could one shot vanilla elite wildstock), but after some basic analysis, I’ve determined that there is a serious issue with bombs and their viability as a weapon.
Slingbows progress really r…
