I like this a lot! NMG is solid on stamplar. There's a solid case to be made that bleedplar is the more powerful spec, but I enjoy S&Bplar a lot more and it's certainly very effective.

I'm not sure about Dizzy Swing. You obviously put it to good use in the fights you've recorded, but it takes a lot of work to land, and I'm nervous about having two channeled burst abilities. When I run S&B stamplar, I prefer Reverb, as it locks enemies out of their abilities for just as long as Dizzy does, is much easier to land, and the Defile makes it harder for enemies to recover in advance of the impending POTL explosion.

Restoring Focus looks better than Channeled on paper, but since we're in medium armor I don't feel as though I can give up the mag sustain from Channeled. Restoring gives two neat Minor buffs, but Channeled gives virtually infinite purges, which in my experience is much more valuable.

I didn't know everything you said about Reverse Slice. I've been running Executioner, but I think I'll switch now and see how it feels.

I prefer Dizzying Swing over Binding Javeling for several reasons friend. 1. Javelin is reflectable 2. Dizzying Swing procs our Axe Bleed and Double Damage Poisons 3. Dizzying is around 700 stamina cheaper I myself am very comfortable with dizzying swing but i put in towards the of video that you can use binding javelin with an NMG greatsword and a disease enchantment. I used that for a bit and it worked well, but had a shorter damage ceiling, but a more reliable one (unless reflects). Restoring Focus grants us the survivability that we lost from using medium armor instead of heavy. Minor protection and minor vitality are very strong minor buffs; the minor vitality alone covers the 8% healing received passive from heavy, and I'm relatively sure that minor protection trumps or is par to heavy's extra resistance. Reverse Slice is godly lol. Thanks for the feedback and input too!

Oh I 100% agree about Dizzy vs. Javelin. Wolfhunter is turning out to be the wingpocalypse, and I hate having my only CC as a reflectable projectile. I was talking about Dizzy vs. Reverb Bash.

My friend Lucian runs reverb as a cc on his back bar but I like my cc up front so it can be swiftly applied in a burst rotation (swiftly. ... ironicly I use dizzying swing lol). I also wanted to get away from my preferred playstyle of dual wield on stamplar with this set up.

Glad to hear @Waffennacht ! Let me know how you do with it!

You’ll have a higher potl copy if you switch it to back bar.

Added: Awesome work! I’ve been reading the NMG set bonuses for 2 weeks now.

Yes i know this but you lose the quarter of a second you have to land dawnbreaker before the power of the light when doing so and you wind up losing out on that large amount of bonus damage into the calculation and thus its better to have it front barred.

Nice one, ty for sharing!

BUT:
Am i the only one crazy enough to try a blood moon + kena + ??? - DW (/+bow?) - LA build with wolfhunter?

... and yes, I am aware its going to be a long march of sacrifices to get there.

Blood moon + Kena + asylum 2h + Trappings (5pc is equal to 300 stam recov.) Go test that lol! Thanks btw.

I believe cut-off point for tumbling is at 52. It shows 19% at 51 but in reality is a fraction below 19, so 51 wastes 2 CP points.

Is this tested?

Look at the last table in the first post, the 25% column.

Thanks!!

Without a gap closer or bow, how do you like to start an engagement?

I have a few flex spots and I'm looking at a few of your abilities, and I'm wondering if I should use or not use a gap closer for BGs?

I suppose rune is pretty clutch huh?

They go to him.

I am like you though, once my enemy became more ranged over the many patches, I started slotting bow to at least add some annoying pressure at range to force the enemy to come to me.

Use LOS cleverly and they will have to come close enough to even target you. That's one reason being in a tower is such a great place for fighting outnumbered.

Either that or they will just leave, but that's okay.

that too!

I do like the interchangeable switch between melee/range though. Just a personal niche playstyle preference.
