So I did a quick search on here and a lot of people seem to really not like using bombs. I've never played an alchemist and am looking to do so in my next game, so I am trying to figure out how to make bombs useful. Before level 8 the best thing to do seems to be maximize intelligence with both a stat and a cognatogen to boost DCs, and then get stink bomb, force bomb, tanglefoot bomb, and maybe adhesive bomb. That way you can hit a variety of saves and have options for doing damage different ways. Am I missing something? With 1 bomb a round until level 8 it seems like debuffing/control is the way to go. With feats I would pick up PBS, precise shot, rapid shot (around 8), and then get the bombs with larger cloud effects/different elemental damage.
Would this work? Any suggestions appreciated. Also, I have read Ogre's guide, it just hasn't been updated and I was wondering if the new options have significantly changed things.
