Use: Inflicts 149 to 201 Fire damage and stuns targets in a 8-yard radius for 2 seconds. Any damage will break the effect.

The Mithril Frag Bomb is one of the best-in-class bombs, due to a large effect radius, relatively cheap materials, and short cast time. It also has a better-than-average throw range of up to 15 yards. While the stun time is short, it's plenty to stop momentum of a runner and interrupt multiple spell casters.

Goblin Sapper Charge

Use: Explodes when triggered dealing 450 to 750 Fire damage to all enemies nearby and 375 to 625 damage to you. (5 Min Cooldown)

This represents the essence of Goblin engineering's strength: really big booms. It doesn't have the stun effects of other bombs, but it sure packs a huge punch. This beauty can also crit, adding to the damage. It does damage the caster as well, but that's just part of the fun of being a true Goblin Sapper.

The Big One

Use: Inflicts 340 to 460 damage and stuns targets for 5 sec in a 10 yard radius. Any damage will break the effect.

Requires: Engineering 225

Created with: Goblin Engineering 235

For Goblin Engineers, this is a great bomb, with the largest blast radius in the game (10 yards) and longest stun time. One possible sticking point is the need for Goblin Rocket Fuel, which requires a 210 Alchemist to make. Still, if you can find someone willing to make your fuel for you, it can be worth it. It's the large number of component ingredients and the requirement of another crafter that downgrades this slightly from the Mithril Frag Bomb.
