Frost Bomb? Why should I use it?

[Q alt]

I'm running a Frost Blades/Molten Strike build (mathils build don't sue me) and a lot of people running FB use Frost Bomb? I've been trying it but I don't understand how it helps the build at all.

That's like dropping an other curse on the mobs. You get a significant damage buff for frost blade. If you want to know the difference between your build and the ones that do undreds of thousands of dps, that's the difference, all the secondary stuff like buffs, debuffs, curse, auras etc. that will multiply themselves and the base dps of your main skill.

It takes so long to put down though and then explode. I take it it's mostly for bosses?

the debuff isn't the explosion, the debuff happens when the bomb is charging. You want it long.
