masters touch is nice but not worth the trouble.

One in the chamber will automatically give you two auto-attacks at 150% damage if you do a two ability combo. That means its 50% of your autoattack more than the anti-tank shells. This should be copied by the nova holo-decoy if it copies talents. The reason is that after you use ability 1, say w if you have the 25% damage talent then you will automatically autoattack, then you will offload q as well and run the autoattack will fire 0.5s after and then you can run. This is 2x 150% attacks,...

A couple of things you may not be aware of. All damage and range bonus stack additively. The bonus from artillery shells makes 120% to 130%, so it increases output but about 8% not 10%. Similary range stacks the same way. you have 190% basic range in siege mode. With maelstrom you have 210% and with graduating range you have 310%. Massively long ofc, but neither the damage nor the range talents synergise with each other. Rather they have diminishing returns. So it is best to find a golden...

Just an update on my previous post it seems that blizzard has fixed the ability to kill NPCs from afar without them being able to reply. They now become immune to damage immediately.

I have been playing around using one in the chamber instead of anti tank shells You actually do practically the same damage as you did with the old anti-tank shells. Instead of pining-auto-snipe-precision and run you now do pining-auto-snipe-auto-precision. Same amount of time spent but 300% auto damage instead of 250%. It is every stronger if you stay and fight because it procs off every ability.

How do you feel about envenom instead of gathering power? I find that I spend at least 20-30s between fights after level 15 or so and it is harder for nova to survive during higher level fights, since she is super squishy. Envenom has the added advantage of preventing stealth and enhancing your burst.

I think graduating range is often mistunderstood. This is not an defensive talent. It's value is purely offensive: 1) Hitting fixed objectives 2) 5v5 death ball matches. 3) Supporting summons (DK, horror, bone golem) 4) Denying objectives (coin, tribute, DK cap) 5) Pushing core 6) Soloing mercs/shamblers/golem All these things are done best with graduating range. One downside of graduating range is that you have to pick a very specific build, which will allow you to minimise the...

Your level 7 talent choice shows searing attacks not overdrive, yet on the text you say overdrive, which is definitely the right talent. Searing arrows is nice earlier on, but overdrive dominates the endgame in my experience. Also I strongly recommend experimenting with lead from the front instead of increased range. I find it tremendously useful. The reason is that every kill effectively resets activated rush. It completely changes the way you use activated rush. You can now pop it...
