If you have more than 3 targets, Holy nova will automatically cast a second 50% effective nova - not a lot of people know this.

Of you have more than 3 targets and your holy fire is on cooldown, use it.

When playing Disc, Mind Sear is still better than nova, even when it double casts.

Nova’s only real use as Disc is breaking things out of stealth quickly. Like the assassins in Plaguefall’s third boss, you can help get them out a bit faster if you’re casting nova while walking through the webs, rather than running through the center.

As Holy I use it in M+ if the tanks not taking any damage and there’s 3+ targets to hit, but that’s not really that often.

Use it as a stealth breakers and farming old content that’s really about it.

I only press it in arena against stealth teams in hopes you’ll get lucky

It uses a ridiculous amount of mana.

I only use it for 3rd boss on Plaguefall to get the assasins out of stealth fast.
Also for arenas to see if I can catch some stealthy around.

You pretty much don’t press it to do dmg or healing at all.

It’s not on my bar. I can think of a very few moments where I’d use it (usually farming old stuff) but generally I think you can ignore it.

pvp to try to pop stealth and break vases in tower
