I throw it only when I'm like 0-8 meters away from the enemy and only aim at feet/ground (PvP). Good thing it has a big blast radius. There hasn't much changed from my observation. Just should get a little closer before you drop it. Because it doesn't fall and the tracking, like in Destiny, is not good enough, inconsistent. I like that the nova doesn't even take half of my health while I have 0 armor resistance when I throw it at my feet (tested it). In Destiny I was almost dead. [b][u]Edit:[/u][/b] I want to add that the baby novas have really good tracking though. Can get some nice kills with it. And while the mother nova's tracking seems inconsistent, it can be really good too. Watched some videos on Youtube where the mother chased a player across half of the map.
