So I'm experimenting with builds and it doesn't seem the nova is that much faster than lightning to me. I think a part of is definitely getting used to the play style but I'm not sure if the minimal clear speeds is worth the additional riskiness. Currently, I'm clearing the pits in about 3 minutes or so, which is just about what I was doing w/ pure lightning. Is it just a matter of getting good with the build?
