Notes

  • Holy Nova was originally a 31-point holy talent, and has been subject to many tweaks over time, including changes in casting time, cooldown, mana cost, and actual effect.
  • Holy Nova generates no threat. However, it will put you on the aggro table, so if no other player is attacking a mob, the mob will attack you.

Tips and Tactics

  • Holy Nova Rank 1 can be used to break stealth, to cancel flag-tagging and to disrupt spellcasting of enemy groups.
  • It can be used in aggro-sensitive fights to avoid getting aggro.
