I'm currently running 5x Seventh Legion, 3x Agility and 2x Selene with a Maelstrom Maul and Leki S&B, 5-1-1 setup all Impenetrable.
S&B:
Cloak, Ambush, Surprise Attack, Reverb Bash and Resolving Vigor. Ulti: Incap
2h:
Relentless Focus, Siphoning Attacks, Mass Hysteria, Shuffle, Rally. Ulti: DB of Smiting
In your face build while still having plenty of tricks from the NB repertoire.

Make sure to run the instant fear morph and not the traps.
Your sets are alright. They are viable. But throwing in a monster set will go a long way. Maybe even spriggan over hunting season. Run 5 spriggan on jewelry and sword and board bar with guile 5pc body. By moving your heavy set away from jewelry your able to use stam jewelery instead 8ncreasing your damage. Even if you can't get spring and, trying to get an easy set for jewelry so that you can get that extra stam would be great. Maybe marksman, viper is easy grind etc.
I personally am not a fan of running Heroic slice and SA. Pick one. I get it. You want ult gen, but you have pretty darn good ult gen with nb, especially if you run bloodspawn, that you can do without the ult gen and free up an extra space. I personally love dark cloak. That 8% mitigation does wonders. Combined with the 15% debuff from fear and it is solid choice.

I was looking at 7th legion instead of fasalla's, but not sure how that will affect enemy survivability. More damage is fun, but cutting heals is Lawls-tastic! Thanks for the insight!bowmanz607 wrote: »Make sure you run siphoning attacks morph.

Low slash for the snare, truthfully. Don't want them running from me, and Idk if fear snares on cooldown. Plus, minor maim from it. That said, 5k less armor with SA and shadow passives are waaaaa too good. It is such a hard choice xD
Might try spriggans than, over hundings (cause you're right, helps dps to have stam necklaces). I knew to take the instant fear, just didn't remember the name. Got me thinking about using different monster helms, too...
Thank you!
Robust jewelry is irrelevant with stamina having max Stam + Stam recovery food.
I'd probably run hundings over spriggans or automaton on a heavy armor NB as neither of the latter sets 5pc effects your healing. Since that's already a weakness for NB you want to make sure you're not losing out on as much extra healing as possible.

outside of the crit, spriggans is comparable to hundings in raw heals. The difference is minimal. Remember you lose some weapon damage with spriggans, but you gain almost that back with the extra stam you get. (100 weappong damage = roughly 1000 max stam ish). Plus with hundings you have to run guile jewlery in which you lose 3k plus stam from rings. When that is factored in the raw heals of spriggans is better, plus spriggans does more raw DPS.
Where you can say heals are better is with the improved crit chance. But as a NB you can offset the lose of crit from passives and then add theif mundus. Can get yoru crit to 40% easy which is fine for pvp. That number can also be increased by adding in crit on potions to get 50% plus.
PLus you can increase heals in CP and get increased heals from wearing heavy.

I actually considered bone pirate for the stam/regen (with Camoran throne), though not sure how that would work with HA. I've heard it has little sustain issues, should you watch them a bit more carefully.

Thief, understood. What do you think about running a siphoning skill instead if low slash, for the healing done bonus? Now I have too many options! May try spriggans, and switch to automaton in the worst case (same pieces would be easy to farm).

Go hundings (heavy) and spriggans. Best of both worlds. Spriggans 5 pc is worthless against shield so having hundings helps. Against non shielded targets spriggans is awesome.
Another setup to try is 5 hundings (heavy) 5 bone pirate.
There is a build floating around the forums called The Regenerator.
