I have this wand and it seems worth a try. [pic below]



Does anyone have any thoughts, or advice? Maybe you've made one before?

I'm thinking of using it nec vs. es sorc, maybe tvt but I don't think it would be good in tvt.

I haven't even put the wand on yet, assuming the poison damage would be weak but I am hoping it will still do something, even if it's just a tickle like foh on a v/t

I kind of figured as much, since I hadn't seen one or really heard about one. :(

It's not even good enough to be a fun troll char?

If you enjoy dying every duel... sure.

so here's the issue, i've tried it a few times.

it's antithetical to itself.

Poi nova works at a 1 screen diameter more or less. so you have to be on screen with your opponent. but when you're on screen you're vulnerable, and would likely be tossing out trains of Bone spirits.

your best bet is to wait until the opponent is covered in a long line of spirits then try and bone wall or golem on them to sneak in a nova. but you'll have weapon swapping in there also which can be a bit goofy.

what the Nova nec really needs is EoP to be even semi viable in 1v1, and becomes a support char in TvT.

honestly i'd focus more on casting LR, golems, and walls while spamming nova and just try and support more than anything. spirit dmg will still be decent tho. it's a fairly mana intensive build also, and can't rock insight on swap unless u cast spirits w/ insight or something.
