Bombtards.

Not fair, all this guy does is spam one button. OP

Bombtards: A group that uses a bright wizard or sorcerers to aoe and damage a large group of the opposing side.

The word bombtards comes from two individual words bomb and retards. Mixing them into a combination of one word that is easy and fun to say. However, the bombtards are not as stupid as one would like to believe. From my experience as healing for a bomb group once or twice it's a viable tactic. The reason people hate bomb groups isn't because they destroy there whole group in one second it's because there isn't much of a downfall to bombing. In other words its the perfect group.

Also, bombtards don't just spam one button. They spam 2-4 buttons, how else are they going to gain combustion/dark magic?

But, Verras is here to tell you how to defeat a bomb group. If you wish to attempt this it takes a large amount of CC and group coordination. Okay the first thing is you'll see a tank or 2 running at you with a bright wizard/sorcerer close by. Now you have two options, if you have a chosen/kotbs stun the oncoming group staggering the bright wizard/sorcerer and his two guards leaving the healers open for a swift attack. If you have enough dps take both of them out, if you don't have enough dps single stagger one and hit the first one and then focus the second one fast because the tanks are coming. The second decision you can make is split up to disorient the group and split them out once the tanks run in Root them and go for the unguarded healers or bright wizards/sorcerer.

Now, if things don't go the way it wanted it to go just instantly keep on the healers and every time they res their allies dps him down.

Also, if they have an engineer/magus rifting/pulling you into the group don't try to run punt the bright wizard or the whole group out of there then stagger the rest then retreat out of there safely.

Or the obvious choice of running away. :D

How To: Punt

They're gonna find who punted that archmage!

Punt - The art of knocking back. Sure, you get an ability to knock people back. It seems fun at first, especially in the scenario, Tor Anroc. Knocking people back and watching them inevitably die in the lava as they try to jump out is so satisfying. But, admit it you rage when someone does it to you, even might call it cheap.

Enjoy your punts while they laugh because in Tier 4 you might as well take it right off your hotbar. If you use a punt in Tier 4 you're public enemy #1 because as soon as you use it, you're chat will be flooded with "OMG nub used KB I could of killed him", "WOOOOWWW The noob knocked him back when I was about to kill him", "Aren't you on our side? Why are you saving the order?", and so on.

Sure the enemy might be at full health, or you were getting 9 guys off of the healer, it doesn't matter. You used a punt, you're a noob. But, have no fear good ole Verras here will tell you how to sue your punts correctly, so you're chat wont be flooded.

Scenario 1: You're in city, this is punt kingdom. Punt someone off the edge of the cliff in IC or in the water in Altdorf and noone will complain. In fact some may congratulate you. "Mission Complete!"

Scenario 2: Punting off of the dragonwake bridge. If you encounter enemies on the bridge, just punt them off and watch them drop hundreds of feet below you. No one will blame you because they'll be laughing at the falling order/destruction. "Continued Success!"

Scenario 3: When you're alone or in a huge group of people. This will confuse the masses as they try to figure out who did it with a high probability they won't and let it pass. "MONSTER KILL!"

Scenerio 4: When you're about to die. This is one of the few acceptable time people can actually watch you punt an enemy. They'll let it off as a CC and trying to save your own life. However, if the enemy you punted had low hp this could back fire. "YOU ARE THE PUNT MASTER"

Those my friends are the only times punt could be viable. Follow these and you can leave your punt on your hotbar!
