Obsidian Mind
2 questions:
1. What is the maximum amount of super energy that can be recovered by killing enemies with Nova Bomb while using Obsidian Mind?
2. Do kills from bloom explosions count as kills with the Nova Bomb in terms of replenishing super energy?
It looks to me like each enemy killed with Nova Bomb while wearing Obsidian Mins gives about 10% super energy back. I'm not sure if I have ever killed 10 mobs at once with my Nova Bomb while wearing Obsidian Mind, but I know that I have gotten my super energy back above 50% with one Nova Bomb. However, I run bloom so I don't know if all of that energy was from Nova Bomb/Obsidian Mind alone or if some of the energy was from kills with bloom and gave me super energy, but not the same amount of super energy if the enemy had been killed by the bomb itself. The way that orbs drop makes me think that even if an enemy is killed with a bloom explosion, it still counts as being killed by the Nova Bomb. I haven't done any scientific inquiry, but if no one has answers I might have to do some testing and math *gasp!*

4 RepliesIt's kind of hard to determine if kills from a bloom explosion count as nova bomb kills. Since they are kills, they will of course give you some super energy. Inverse shadow will increase the super energy you would normally get from one of those kills anyway. My guess is that the Insatiable perk for NB kills does NOT proc on bloom kills. The issue can be tested. But since bloom works so well with axiom bolt, and energy drain doesn't stack, I tend to just enjoy the mayhem and not worry about the details. I wish bloom procced on all void kills. We need more skill/weapon interactions. Sunsingers touch of flame and Viking funeral should proc on solar weapons too. Warlocks should be the burst dps kings. Titans can make orbs from heavy weapons and normal melees, and hunters have plenty of weapon affecting skills. Warlocks gaining extra effects for specific weapon elements would be cool without being OP. Especially if these only procced on pve kills.
