I admire the passion here but the only thing I ever saw a Nightmare do was get cruise disrupted somewhere halfway down its trajectory because it was slow, people had 50-90 CDs and CDs could track and hit missiles.
Making it a colossal EMP lets it actually fulfil a novel function of trying to "disperse crowds" without being as insanely toxic as a giant AoE hullbuster instakilling machine. Over half the classes in the game don't outrange its radius, even fewer can hit the thing while it's moving at 1500+ meters distance. It's not very cool to die without any reasonable counterplay, to be honest.
