Everyone complains about Nova's MP but to make it effective the player has to use specific mods meaning you have to give up on survivability and utility (such as more defensive mods and mods like Rush.) Outside of Null Star, it's her only effect dps ability and she is suppose to be a nuker class. Wormhole is great for mobility but in a high level defense mission that could mean one less important MP to help down weaker enemies.

She also has to put herself in a position to hit a large number of targets that could be troublesome. especially since she is a glass cannon if you spec heavily for damage vs survivability.

Bastille had an issue of the fact all you needed to protect a cryo pod or artifact is a vauban constantly spamming bastille, where as Nova could prime at high levels and it still not kill Ancients, which could become very problematic with Ancient Disrupters being able to still hit her and drain her energy.

Remember, Vauban's abilities are more about controling the situation, much like Nyx and Loki, where as Nova is a pure nuker, which is like Saryn, Ember and Volt, who all can take a lot more punishment than Nova.

Then you have characters like Rhino, Frost and even Excalibur who can be built to be tanks or with the same mods as Nova can be strong nukers as well, but can take even more punishment than the average nuker with the exact same mods.

So quit whining and realize all of the Frames have very specific strengths and weaknesses, but some others like Vauban, Excalibur and Rhino are way more versatile.
