Yenno, if Bomb still works like it used to, it does nearly the same damage on 6 monsters. "Used to" being that it multiplies when it crits, not adds. I threw some numbers together real quick and here's what I got. These numbers are in average damage per hit.
Bomb
5 Monsters: 1322.4%
6 Monsters: 1624%
Inferno
5 Monsters: 1410%
6 Monsters: 1692%
Hurricane (6 arrows; the same amount of time it takes to cast Inferno or Bomb)
1 Monster: 1392%
Honestly though, I don't do any mobbing anymore unless I'm in the middle of a mob and can use AR. I'd rather not piss off a lot of monsters at once, especially when they can use defense up. Hurricane just assassinates the first monster in line so they don't get a chance to retaliate.
