    Sharpened Mace and Precise Dagger seems to give the best DPS across most types of enemies (meaning different resistance levels). It is a safe way to go.

    Morkuldin vs Nightmothers is a bit of a judgment call. On your DW bar, it means 4 slots (3 bonuses). You are trading Stamina and Regen (mork) for Crit (NM). I think the skirmisher would like former and the ganker would like the later.

    I went a slighly different route on my NB. I go with 3 piece NM and then use one piece of either Molag Kena or Bloodspawn depending on situation. Kena gives me damage, Bloodspawn gives me sustain. Nightmothers is the better PvE set if that has any baring on your decision. If Monster pieces are not in the equation, and you are truly going just for PvP, I would go 4 piece Morkuldin. You need to get your stam regen into the 2K range one way or another.

    One suggestion: Make your hundings 5 piece your armor (minus head and shoulders) and then make your weapons and head and shoulders the other set. That way it is much easier to play with monster helms or maelstrom/master weapons without recrafting. Your hundings 5 piece probably isnt going anywhere.

    I'm using the following:

    Hundings (Medium):
    Helm - Infused - Stamina
    Shoulders - Divines - Stamina
    Belt - Divines - Stamina
    Legs - Infused - Stamina

    Hundings (Heavy):
    Chest - Infused - Stamina

    Briarheart (Medium):
    Arms - Infused - Stamina
    Boots - Infused - Stamina

    Night Mother (DW):
    Mace - Sharpened - Crushing
    Sword - Precise - Weapon Damage

    Briarheart (Jewelry):
    Collar - Robust - Weapon Damage
    Ring - Healthy - Weapon Damage
    Ring - Robust - Weapon Damage

    I use the Warrior Mundus and Orzorga's Tripe Trifle Pocket (Health and Stamina recovery). I'm currently sitting at 321 Champion Points, 100 in Mighty, 35 in Mooncalf, 62 in Warload. I obviously have a bunch of points in other things, but those are the stamina NB concerns. Currently working up Mooncalf and Precise Strikes.

    Weapon damage is about 3828 in stealth, with Rally and Relentless Focus up. I keep Evil Hunter on my main DW bar. Stamina recovery is 1539, weapon critical is 77%.

    Warrior vs Shadow: I found the Warrior Mundas gives me more damage currently, but they will likely change once Precise Strikes is upped. I did a lot of testing of this, watching damage using LUIE.

    Think that covers a lot on my end.

    But stam nb's are just cheese class that use spambush and spam surprise attack. Such a boring op class...

    Uhhh, no. Nightblades have a ton of useful abilities that are fun to play. Sure the one-button warriors are lame, but there's much more to nightblade than "spambush and spam surprise attack."

    I also agree with the Crushing/Weapon Damage enchants for your weapons. I would enchant all your armor with stamina and adjust your attributes if you find you need some more health. Much cheaper to make adjustments that way. If you go bow on back bar, disease is nice as well for the healing Debuff. For traits, I would go divines on everything. Classic theory was infused on big pieces, divines on small, but they have buffed mundus pretty well. I think Divines is best trait across the board. One piece of impenetrable wouldnt be the worst idea. I dont run it, but some people do.

    How are you liking briarheart in PvP? I finally have a 5 piece with Jewelry (traits could be better). I was thinking it might make sense for PvP or Arena, but my unbuffed stats definitely suffer.

    Nb's are a lot less boring than shield stacking Sorcerers.... and if you can spam Streak then stop complaining about us spamming spambush..
