LF>Someone who runs a nova sorc p8/T5 heralds

What does you're build look like? And you're inventory.

I did a few T5's today but had a t4 viper that one shot me no matter what I tried.
Wondering if thats just the unlucky roll or if there are people who can dominate p8 + t5's and what they run.

I’m curious about this too. I dont think nova is a good build for this unless you exclude a lot of areas.

a5 was a nightmare with blood mana. But I think that just comes with the build. A1-4 was fine if poison res max. But i'll never try to run a p8 a5 again as my current build.
nevertheless nova is the most fun I've had in a long time so if thats a trade off I gotta make then so be it =]

The best Nova sorc for these situations is a Blood Boil Warlock.

If I was playing HC SSF i'd prob roll a lock but walking through the newest mech (t5 heralds) with a wirts leg naked and not having to look at the screen isn't really what I view as enjoyment.

For heralds blizz sorc is miles better than nova sorc

I run nova P8 for heralds.
1. I run 100% PLR
2. I always run with horker (max block/SS)

I teleport around with horker (dual hotos 125fcr) to unique/champ packs and swap to grief/ss … teleport in with nova and clear screen. Hork and continue. Same thing for heralds…but when get to t5 heralds I’ll teleport in with horker and howl everything away.. Barb/merc tanks until I come in with Nova.. now herald has two mercs and a Barb and really never even attacks my nova.

yeah fasho, Was just kinda throwing the q out there to see how other novas run em and if they also had some issues. But yeah, i know nova isn't in contention to other herald hunters.

Exactly the kind of info I was hoping for. Wish my homies still played and this would be a possibility. I do have a competent horker though if anyone is wanting one to run with! Geared so don't need to be babysat.

Just use a java. Best there is. Doesn't matter what turns into a herald.
Decoy, slow missiles, valk + attack from afar = best there is.
