PvE Radiance has been dumbed down to be used for fire born which is used as a crutch for people who cannot be useful. The nova bomb is much more effective if you are good. Massive amounts of damage in a short time. Let the discussion rage on with opinions and reasoning! Radiance with radiant skin: I've been seeing a lot of comments on why this combination is supposedly good. The justification is that it's good for crowd control and spawns a lot of orbs. In my opinion (remember it's just an opinion) I'd rather spawn orbs in a faster amount of time so I can continue to shoot at adds or inflict DPS on Crota.
