Well, one is a mental degenerate fuckup, that's clear, it's a clinical case that can't be helped.

But what advice are you giving him? Holy shit, Narrow Minded and Blind Rage?! So that's why when I join games people say: "Oh, it's nova... let's leave at 5"? Because Novas can't think of their fucking selves as anything more thank fucking map wide detonators?

Well let me tell you this - what you have recommended him is a WHOLE map being almost frozen. WHOLE MAP. Where will you use it? In Exterminate? Capture, maybe? Certaintly you don't want to let yourself run out of oxygen in survival or take twice the time to complete a single wave in defense?

If you want her to slow enemies, that's fine, but it should NOT be map-wide. It should be bastille/ice globe sized. Learned at school to add and multiply? 5m\s x 6seconds is the default wave duration, which is 30 yards. I honestly hope you don't need that elaborated. Depending on the map, you "may" want to add rank 4 Fleeting Expertise to make it 5x4=20 yards, like for ODD(although it's a crime to do it in ODD), or you may want to add continuity for tower defense\survival, to make it more reliable 5 x ~8=40 yards total. What's best is that it will round enemies up, as those affected will be slowed and grouped. The only problem is that it's ONLY good for rather late game of 60+ levels if you don't have Ogris or Trinity or other convenient methods(like Rhino).

But the most practical common application of Nova - is +30% Nova. REMOVE Fleeting Expertise, Intensify, Blind Rage and add Overextended+Continuity. That's enough to make the wave rather long, not perfect, but still capable of reaching targets, and it will almost literally pull them all to you, round them up for chain detonation. Yes, it's not 1000+ per mob, but 200-300 x5-10 is most often enough, maybe backed up by sentinels and MK-1 Bratons on enemies that take double damage. Ideally later you can add 6+ Narrow Minded and Streamline+Flow. Any adequate dark sector group will welcome you, and if they have vauban\loki... you will be welcome everywhere. Nova is still one of the best warframes.
