Are you sure? (Destiny)

You have 3 times whatever the damage of one shot is...or one Celestial Nighthawk shot. Are you talking about damage output or potential to kill large groups?

Both in a way. Like I said in one of my responses it takes all three of my shots to MAYBE kill a major enemy, or I can put on Nighthawk and kill that enemy with one shot. Either way, I (maybe) kill ONE enemy. Meanwhile a Titan or Warlock comes in and levels an entire group of enemies, including the major. So you either have a mediocre super for killing groups, or a fantastic super for killing higher HP enemies at the price of using your exotic to do it compared to the Titan and Warlock's supers without exotics being better at both.

My memory could be fuzzy but I am fairly certain that a Nova Bomb cannot one-shot Majors either. Maybe if I get a direct hit on him, which is much harder to do than GG, it kills him, but I'm not even sure of that. I think we need hard numbers but my general experience is feeling that GG or Striker outclass Nova in nearly every situation.
