I just got my warlock ready for trials! Shouldve done this guy day one, fireborn for trials of course but gawd i love that nova bomb. By far the coolest super there is

Broken poll is broken
-
If you go for heavy ammo, vortex, otherwise shatter for higher blast radius.
-
I was using shatter today in control and got a 5 man on the flag and I felt really good and got 7000 points that game, and overall I use shatter because of the wider blast area
-
It's very much personal play style. If you are extremely aggressive and have good aim and instinct, a well placed lance wrecks. If you want your super to sort of wipeout, shatter. If you want to use it to cape a point or block of an area, vortex. All are great choices with the right player. :)
-
They're all good, I like vortex a little more though.
-
People don't realize lance is hands down best because the velocity allows you to hit targets without any chance of escape. And father away
-
I have a hard time using lance really :/ its hard to get used to the change that the bomb doesnt arc so u end up missing. Am i the only one who thinks this?
-
Go vortex and bomb their heavy. See how many just walk into it afterwards lol
-
The animation for shatter looks cooler imo. Also i tend to nova bomb the pillar right in front of me alot, so i use shatter so at least some of it makes it to the enemy
-
I use Vortex for area denial. Same for Aftermath.
-
I like Lance. They never see it coming. I like Vortex but have had players react on it (activated in air)
-
Lance, only because it's so much fun to use and getting those long range kills with novabomb is so satisfying :D some on capturing zone far away? No problem novabomb across the map.
-
Control use vortex + vortex nades and vortex mastery with voidfang vestments. Keeps ppl off flags even if i die lol
-
Vortex is the worst in my opinion shatter the best
-
Vortex by a mile. I've tried them all. I sometimes use shatter in PvE for more area coverage, but I can't tell you how many times I've gotten kills off the vortex effect in Crucible
-
I used to use Shatter because it killed people inside bubbles easier, but I now use vortex because people are dumb and walk into it for bonus kills.
-
Control -Vortex Everything else - shatter
-
Prolocks such as moi use shatter. Nothing clears rooms of camping noobs (aka hunters) faster than a good old space magic shotgun to the face.
-
Shatter+Tracking=OP
-
Don't use vortex cuz if u want kills kill them first, not a grenade. Shatter is great closish range cuz of a multikill spread
-
I guess I'm the lance minority?
-
Embrace the void.....

For control vortex is the clear winner with vortex mastery on. Also that gives your AE effect duration more duration increasing how long you can totally lock down a control point. I don't pvp much, but when I do its IB control so take that for what it is worth.
