Bomb Droid make jedi go boom
They're good on NPC marks! But absolutely hilarious to use against a Jedi. Especially a Master Defender. Don't waste your credits on them against Jedi.
I'm an MDef/MPowers and I had one BH (Luhzren) who uses them on me when he hunts me and It's just absolutely hilarious. Does just no damage. And if, by chance, it does damage, it's easily taken care of by Force Infusion.
They're good against NPCs though.

And... at 90-120k a pop for 59-60 level droids... it becomes VERY costly to waste them.

You mean droids are level 59-60? I swear the cap was 30.
1200 damage is ok on those Jedi not running force powers.100 damage on a Master Defender makes them worthless.
Rather use a combat droid for an extra dot and the medical bonus. If you REALLY want to put a bomb droid to good use...use it in MO. Have it follow a Jedi and start the ticker. Funny stuff.

Not really worthless, they just take some time and effort to use.... I try to get the mark down to about a quarter, then hit them with paralyze.... the trick is to not have dot's going, and to disarm your weapon right after, seeing as how damae breaks paralyze. Then, I call the droid out, chase, and detonate it, they can't attack it, the jedi is paralyzed.... it stinks to stand there and watch the countdown, when you can't even heal...
