Bottom tree nova has a terrible mechanic in the super where you can ruin an entire boss damage phase by casting your super at the boss, eating everyone's bullets with a big purple wall in the way
Why do bullets not go through the nova?
If this is an intended mechanic, it should be fixed; if not, then you could at least list it in the subclass description somewhere
I learned the hard way by getting screamed at by a fireteam for ruining their damage phase when logically, you'd think a super like nova bomb SHOULD be used on bosses, especially since it's only a single cast, which makes it difficult for bounties where you need a lot of super kills - essentially making this a very frustrating super for quick oh s**t moments or a big champion.
It works on a raid boss when you aim it far away, but near enough to a foot; however, that's not a fun mechanic and makes NO sense.
Why would you NOT think a quick-acting single-use super like Nova Bomb to stack with other damage and weapons? in other words, why WOULD you intentionally want a "super" to ruin a boss damage phase when it should feel like a fun high damage moment of fun?
If for some reason you DO want bottom tree Nova Bomb to eat all other bullets and ruin boss fights, then at least list it in the description as to not make it seem like its meant for a boss by staying and place and pulsing for extra time as per the description

Sounds like lag or something. My Nova Bomb never blocks any rounds. I've shot sniper rounds, autos, shotties, you name it through it millions of times so idk. Maybe they just can't aim through a transparent purple orb
