Abe at one point said "Just look out for yourself." While it's true you shouldn't just stand there and get hit by a bomb because you were trying to stay with the group there are a few reasons we stack.
Obviously stacking for heals in the few seconds or so casts can get off is win.But mroe importantly, the bombs in that room spawn over locations where a player already is. If we stack and move in a circle around the room, the direction we're running towards always, always, always is absolutly clear of bombs. If we stand in a spot, allow two bombs to spawn over us, then move about 10 yards, the entire group can go without being hit. View wise, It's annoying as fuck for everyone that isn't a stupid keyboard turner. The solution to that is to always face the outside edge, and position your camara so that it is somewhat at your characters level. Since you're along the edge, you know that the only bombs that trouble you are out there, and you can see exaclty how far those are from hitting the ground. After that it's just strafe strafe strafe, pop out, pray defile isn't on an idiot, and win.
Edit: Bombs spawn on spirits as well so yes you can still get cornered the entire group just needs to recognize and adjust.
