Does SuperNova knock you back at all?

[dreaderus]

I would be so estatic if this thing worked a bit like Thunderstorm. I was so upset that they took the knockback off blastwave, mages need a knockback!

Thoughts?

Knocks everyone around me up... pretty awesome, but only an immediate interrupt (no lockouts).

[dreaderus]

so no knock off cliffs capability?

It especially knocks up female draenei and female night elves.

You can't knock people off cliffs with this, but if you supernova someone before someone else thunderstorms them then they will fly further.

Kinda sad to see Blast Wave didn't get its knockback capabilities back.

OT: No. Supernova knocks them upward. There is no forward/backward momentum, except maybe a tiny bit in the direction they were already moving (not enough to knock off a cliff). It does setup a nice combo where Shamans/Druids can knock them off easier though, since they're pretty much forced to "stand still" for a second.

needs a knockback

[matters]

Wish it were a knockback, sadly it is only a knock-up.

[Neoxx]

Thank god it's not a knockback ... the tears from pvp players around the world would flood the netherlands

It would be cool if Arcane Explosion had a glyph that made it do a knock back. Supernova to knock them up into the air and than arcane explosion to send them flying back.

Yes, because there are actually people crying about ARCANE in PvP of all things.

That would be AWESOME.

You'd probably need to add a cd to it, or it'll make Arcane mages the ultimate interrupter.

There already exists DR category for knockback, so a CD would be unnecessary for PvP purposes.

And how many knockback does it take to cap the DR? 4? In that time, 1 class can just interrupt 4 of your spells? back to back?
Seems op to me.

3 like all other DRs I'd think. Also, what's stopping someone from using 3 stuns, disorients, mesmerizes, etc? 3 Polymorphs = 3 interrupted spells, for example.


PS: Both Supernova and Ice Nova interrupt spells. Blast Wave does not, because Fire sure has enough CC, amirite?

I think the difference being that it all comes from one person, and it has no cast time, leaving your team mates to focus on dps-ing the other team.

Erm, since when does Ice Nova interrupt spells? Doesnt it just freezes?

Every time i read this topic title the first thought that come in my mind is exactly this
I dont know why nobody else wrote something like this. Seems people here are way too serious to make that reference

As a female mage, that's certainly a new twist in my gameplaying. Mages will be so overpowered that they will knock up male characters too. It doesn't specify the gender of the victim - female or male,robot, elemental, beast everyone gets knocked up. All the babies. Male mages will need a dodging child support bill spell now.

When you get ganked by a mage don't wonder why you have baby after that

P.S. What happens if a warrior spell reflects it? Does the mage knock themselves up? Only the time will show us

P.S.2 Sorry i couldn't hold back anymore. Please forgive me

Last I heard, Ice Nova was a mini-stun. It also only lasts 2s and is on a separate DR (similar to Charge stun from Warriors). If it was just a freeze, it'd have to last a lot longer than 2s.

Nah, the baby just magically vanishes and the Mage does a happy leap into the air as a result.

Hmmm, that's interesting. I'll go check it out when i get home from work.
