Can only speak of experience with my AR/Dev Blaster... Time Bomb is a very situational power... I seem to never get it to "time" right, so respecced it out and went for... something else? I would recon it's pretty much the same for Corrs, but not sure =)

I've managed to get it once, when I placed a biig field of Trip Mines and a Timer in the middle... things sure went BOOOM that time

I've seen players combine it with the concealment pool to bomb mobs. Thats the only way I could see me using it as well.

Too much effort to get it to work right, not even close to being worth the bother. And it's not like the team would enjoy waiting for you to perform these awkward maneuvers with the time bomb anyway.

One application I've had for it is to set up Caltrops, Acid Mortar and Poison Trap at a herd point and set Time Bomb, then hit several mobs near-by with TAoEs before skedaddling to herd point.

Unlike Trip Mine, it actually has a guarantee of hitting all of them rather than being prematurely detonated. Also, this method gets -Res onto the mobs prior to kabloom.

I dont know about corrupter but i have an AR/Dev blaster, i can smoke grenade first, walk into a mob with stealth, drop time bomb and walk away and wait for the boom. It doesnt work with the Invisibility pool power, or any other affect self powers, I tried that too

The main drawback with timebomb is the time it takes to place it, 8 seconds, damage wise you should have been able to hit several attacks in that time.

Also its really gutting if it misses...
