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?

My gear for both setups:

Magic find:
Chancy
Shako
Tal Amor
Tal Ammy
Tal belt
War Travs
10 FCR rings w/ random resistance
Occy

Damage Build:
Magefist
Shako
Mara's
Gladiator's Bane
Arachnid's
War Travs
10 FCR rings w/ random resistance
+3 Ashuta's with +5/-4 damage

From my limited testing this ladder, nova was stronger with less gear investment. With equal high end gear, lightning will clear faster, especially on /players 8

Thanks for the reply. I'm also reading that crescent moon is BIS for lightning sorc. Any thoughts?
