TIme to buff Nova Bomb
With the introduction of Stormcaller there's basically no reason to use Voidwalker anymore outside of blink, which now sucks. Stormtrance is a better super than Nova Bomb in every measurable way. Add clear? Stormtrance is better. Damaging bosses? Stormtrance is better. Mobility? Stormtrance. Efficiency? Stormtrance. Orbs? Stormtrance. Etc.
So why would I ever use Voidwalker? Especially if you don't have Obsidian Mind to chain supers. I would propose that Nova Bomb should receive a massive damage buff, enough to consistently one-shot shielded majors on endgame content. As it stands right now, it has no niche that Stormtrance can't fill. A simple damage increase (with no blast radius increase or anything else) would grant it some utility over Stormtrance, while also keeping it balanced for PVP because its already a one-shot on everything anyways.
Thoughts? Other suggestions? Let's talk about this.

1 ReplyEdited by Bisto: 9/23/2015 3:38:23 PMHere is a list of other supers that can be shut down by Stormtrance -Radiance (maybe?) - Stormtrance (50/50) Here is list of other supers that can be shut down by Nova bomb - Radiance - Stormtrance - Blade dancer - Golden gun (most likely trade) - Nightstalker - Defender - Sunbreaker - Void walker (most likely trade) I main a voidwalker, and the super is fine, quit bitchin' And from a PVE perspective, yes Stormcaller is great... But year 2 Obsidian mind + bloom will shut down the same group on enemies alot quicker, can be done from safer position, and your super is already halfway full again to use next time.

There's no comparison, stormcaller is better for literally every situation both pve and pvp. And I rolled lock for voidwalker in the first place but I'd also like to keep up with other players in strikes and crucible.

Just from a PVP standpoint I pretty much split 50/50 with void walker and storm caller. Only reason I really use void is because I have the nothing manacles.
