I was just wondering what would work best for group healing capabilities, bomb effect or riccochet effect?.

Both are useful, but in a well disciplined team, ie one that stays tightly together, I think bomb is the way to go.

Oh and on a side note, Bomb 2 seems to have a Wider effect radius as well as hitting more team mates. Only wish the Description of Bomb2 wasnt <Unknown_Description_cuz_im_a_lazy_*ss_and_havnt_done_one_yet>

In large events, Richochet outweighs bomb by far


Bomb 4 = 5 targets
Richochet 4 = 13 targets

Yes, but...5 targets which all get the full heal vs 13 targets which get less and less of the heal.

The range for successive ricochet targets is very very small (about 1/4 the diameter of a bomb). Bomb will hit more people over a wider range in virtually all cases (target a central person of course if you can).

would it make sense to work both up then? and use bomb for smaller groups while saving riccochet for large groups?
