Bad idea. Go against the grain. All of those slots you are wasting with mix-matching corrupted mods is destroying your Nova's potential. None of Nova's abilities rely on damage. That's a troll tactic by DE to keep the noobs in their place until they hit event metamorphosis and level up from noob and become nooblet. At this point you will realize that YES, Prime turns hordes of baddies into pixie dust, but you can't defile their remains by pushing forward on the skulls of their comrades. Molecular Prime should be built for range and eff. Max Streamlie, Fleeting. Max Stretch, Overextended. Do not slot Flow. Wasted mod as energy drops frequently (get to this at Aura). Max Redirection&Vigor. Max Fortitude&Fast Deflection. Max Steel Fiber (tested by me to be better than QT&R for Nova.) Natural Talent. One slot left: ability slot reserved for Molecular Prime. Aura (Enemy Sense) Melee (Dual Ichors) [to replace Wormhole] This is a support build. Those who use Prime believe it's a Room Nuke. It's not. Anti-Matter Drop is the Room Nuke. Molecular Prime should only be built to slow a room down, decrease incoming damage by extension, and double the received damage of Primed Targets. The chain explosions boosted by power strength do not scale. As such, they are wasted modding slots. Those explosions will still happen on missions like Lares, but now your Nova is Outer Terminus worthy. There is NO point in the game where 320 damage becoming irrelevant early is a BAD thing, unless you want your team to get as bored and as irritated as possible with you before the HARD stuff begins. My hand may just tap, tap, tap on your revive meter until you bleed out, then I might t-bag you. Never know. Fact is, with Nova there is a rule: if you KNOW everything will get vaporized by Prime, don't use it. That means it's not time to use Prime yet. If things are easy, only a douche uses Prime. In any case, if you want to actually be a total badass and a team-playing Nova, all you need is Prime with all of the power strength taken out of it. BUT, don't take this build to survival with Nekros. Nekros needs a body to desecrate, Prime doesn't leave any.
