Night Mother's Gaze vs Hunding's Rage?

Hi everyone,

I just recently leveled my stamina Sorcerer to cp and was wondering what was a better choice of gear for him?

I'm currently using 5 piece Toothrow, 5 piece Night Mother's Gaze and 2 piece Morag Tong (rings) for a bit of extra weapon damage. Most of the armor is Divines, with 1 infused (jack) and 1 Impenetrable (belt). Not BiS, I know, but just what I have right now. Using Thief mundus.

Is this an okay build? I've been told that Hunding's Rage might be better than Night Mother's Gaze?

As a side question, how much dps should I be pulling off with this set up? Last I tried (without food) I was getting around 12k dps on the target dummy, though I'm not sure how much resistance the target dummy has, and thus how Night Mother's Gaze performs on it.

    Apperently they didn't test NMG

    I have heard you want exactly one person to have NMG in a group.

    Thanks for that link, it was pretty informative!

    It makes sense to only have 1 NMG in a group since I'm assuming the NMG debuff doesn't stack.

    I still don't know if I'm on the right path, though.

    EDIT: Also, in that test they were using blood frenzy and blood craze. Is that normal? I picked rapid strikes and rending slashes for the increased damage. Should I have chosen the sustained morphs?

    Sorc is the only class I have never played.. I just spend too much time on the forums and read these threads. oh I also haven't played dual wield. I looked it up, I think the reason was that he was soloing a dungeon and needed a way to survive.

    The original poster didn't use NMG because he was solo and Spriggans is better than it when solo, it is more important when you are in a group.

    Everything I've read seems to indicate they're within a few percent of each other. In a group with another stam dps, nmg comes out ahead I'm sure. I like nmg's 2, 3, and 4 piece bonuses personally. You can also wear nmg and sprigg and not over penetrate I think. At least solo
