Devour is glorious, but the tradeoffs with the weak Nova Bomb are really noticeable, especially considering that the Slowva Bomb has a secondary effect that is extremely useful in both PvP and PvE.

It's part of the reason that I never looked back once I got my Stormcaller.

You can make your Voidwalker neutral game way better with the Eye of Another World exotic helmet, but there's nothing that can be done for the Nova Bum-deal, since the Skull of Dire Ahamkara barely seems to work (we're talking probably a 3% Super charge per enemy killed with Nova Bomb).

My suggestions:

Attunement of Hunger

• Devour. Kill an enemy with this melee ability to fully regenerate your health. For a short time afterward, kills restore additional health, while causing damage with Nova Bomb grants an overshield.
  
• Feed the void. Hold L1/LB to consume your grenade energy to regenerate your health. Grants the Devour effect, and fills a small portion of your Super.
  
• Insatiable. While the Devour effect is active, killing enemies extends its duration and recharges your grenade, while an airborn Nova Bomb lashes out at nearby enemies with void tendrils, weakening them for a short time.
  
• Vortex. Nova Bomb creates a singularity which continually damages enemies trapped inside, and void tendrils pull nearby enemies towards it. Standing inside the Vortex reduces ability cooldowns.
  
  While enemies in PvP can pull away from the tendrils by sprinting, enemies in PvE will have a much harder time. Bam, Nova Bomb is cool again, and synergizes with an aggressive playstyle.
