Where there is Tea, there is Hope
Is there a possibility for a Minion Bomber?
Death Nova doesn’t activate on forced deaths (where you activated an ability that kills the minion). That said, it is possible to create Power/Minion hybrids that drop some serious damage on someone’s head.

There is a sample build that I threw together. I wouldn’t say its good, because it probably isn’t, but the basic idea of a build that is going to use minions is using Putrid Explosion as a short CD mini burst, and then when the opportunity is there, use Dagger 3/Rigor Mortis to lock them down for huge durations, drop WoS, and go to town on them. You could come up with a rotation, but usually I started with Dagger 3 →Rigor Mortis →WoS →Focus 4 → Axe 2 and now with DS you could throw in Doom, Dark Path, and Tainted Shackles for added control and damage. You can choose whether to go for a minion build with wells on top, or if you want a power build that has minions for the control/damage (rigor mortis+dark pact+tainted shackles is dirty).
I haven’t been able to play since the patch, but read that Death Nova now deals damage. Tried searching the web but could not find any information on how much, in what Aoe and so on so forth.
Regarding the new Death Nova, I think its damage is similar to the damage you get from Putrid Explosion (bone minion active), and I’d guess it is applied to the same area that the poison field occupies.
Mixing insults with your post is like pooping in a salad.
It’s pretty obvious, and nobody’s impressed.

It is 1-1.5k damage, and yes the same area.
