- less damage resistance, 45% (50% with Skull of Dire Ahamkara) vs FoH's 50% (or 70% with Unstoppable) - projectile travel time - slow and easy to avoid, where FoH is quick and near unavoidable - poor hit detection, potential to do 1 damage - character continues moving while in the animation, I guarantee that every Woidwalker has thrown several Nova Bombs into a wall because of this - Death From Above gives you the range of Nova Bomb, but you are the projectile and move significantly faster than Nova Bomb could ever hope to. Did you ever wonder why Fist of Havoc was dubbed "Fist of Panic", but no one really cared about Nova Bomb?
