I felt like testing nova bombs damage against Kali, and I've gotta say, when stormcaller does more damage...something is wrong.

Stormcaller does more damage than it. That's right I said it. So i was on my friends account on his 592 warlock and took it to Kali. These are the general numbers I got. Chaos reach: 270,000. Stormcaller with landfall: 190,000. Dawnblade: 200,000. Nova warp: 230,000. Nova bomb, chaos: 134,000. Nova bomb, hunger: 113,000. You probably are thinking "there's no -blam!-ing way stormcaller does more than nova bomb," and in terms of dps, you aren't wrong. However, if you go into the raid and just test your damage against kali...theres a good chance you will find yourself disappointed. Keep in mind, the 113,000 is WITH the full vortex. The 134,000 is from 1-2 axions instantly detonating on the initial bomb hit. But yeah, for boss dps, I found nova bomb to be COMPLETELY laughable. There's no defending the sheer lack of power is has against anything other than trash mobs, which I guess it's more or less designed for, but that's just pathetic. If you are wondering how I tested it, I just stepped on the plate till Kali came to shoot me off, I used the supers and of the damage I dealt, I saved that general number. With the mobile supers she would run away near the end of their duration, so I then tested it against her after getting her in the middle where she charges her weapon. Added the difference just to make sure I made as minimal mistakes as possible. I have no idea if you get any buffs for Kali, but I'm going to assume no.

    How does it work with tractor? How does stormcaller work with Crown of Tempests?

      You forget one important thing about nova bomb - IT IS "fire and forget". Throw it and come back firing your heavy, primary or energy weapon, whereas with chaos reach or Nova warp you are channeling your super and unable to shoot your weapons. At the end of the day you probably end up with similar or even bigger dmg on Nova bomb

        If it's not too much trouble, do you think you could find the time to test the other classes as well? I know some Supers might be inconsistent/hard to test(i.e. Blade Barrage, Hammers, Burning Maul), but it'd be great to have a reference. Maybe Reddit already has these numbers though, and I just need to find the right post.
