Yes as I mentioned, Holy Nova has always done this. It puts you on the aggro list with zero aggro. However if no one elee is on the aggro list you are still the top. Holy Nova is more aggro than prox aggro and always has been. As I said someone has to do something to the mob that creates aggro. If they don't holy nova will make them hit you. Not changed from the way it has always worked.
And Ruv brings up a good point too, you could be out distancing the mage and if the mage sheep pulls and you holy nova before they hit the mobs, yep you will take all the initial damage as well until the mage hits them. Same as always.
