Mnb is better xvx (my opinion), for healing, cheapest ranged dps, buffs/debuffs -- crippling grasp doesn't affect an area, it affects individuals, which is why I like it against groups on the move, bc it causes isolation -- plus mass hysteria spam and purge are great tools to unstack the stacked and still survive
...mnb has a lot of hoops to jump thru to attain timed burst, plus more shielding to get thru, but it's def possible. I like julianos and inner light plus stealthed buffed strikes.
No easier burst than stamina nb. Two clicks and an execute. But for group play? Aoe all the way. Vigor takes stress off healers. Caltrops can effectively protect siege, breaches, etc.
I like and play both versions.
