I prefer 2 Ilambris, 5 Juli, 4 Moondancer and a Maelstrom destro.
Firstly, Grothdarr takes away the biggest advantage of magNB over almost every other class - being ranged.
Secondly, if you go ranged, you can't use Rearming Trap. Moondancer performs better than IA without good Minor Force uptime.

How about "war maiden" set to buff the magic damage for MagNB???
War Maiden is bad because it does not affect your light attacks, Elemental Blockade and Ultimates (Elemental Rage/Shooting Star).
War Maiden is only good if your damage consists of at least 75% magic damage, which doesn't. Light attacks along with Blockade make at least 30% of your dps (more if you are good with weaving).Edited by Olupajmibanan on September 29, 2017 12:16PM1 -

Its very good on a Magblade, for both PvE/PvP, I found it works best for PvE with a 5x War Maiden, 5x Julianos and a 2pc Kena with dual wield (Julianos inferno staff back barred).. Have your Magic Damage NB abilities on your front bar and also Merciless Resolve, proc Kena and resolve on your back bar with the destro and switch to front bar for whacking great Spectral Bow hits. Fully buffed without Group Dungeon bonus and SPC you will be sitting just shy of 5k spell damage and crit % (trying to remember this as I'm AFK) is around 68%.
Two points to note:
Sustain can be an issue over long fights, you could swap out Julianos for Seducer if need be, Seducer is better in PvP anyway. The rotation is hard to master, its pretty easy to get around the sustain issue but the rotation will make or break it, took me around a week of a couple of hours per day to get some really good progress with it. But i aint used the character in a couple of months so i guess i will have to start all over again as i never took any notes..lol0 -

Mention about DW
What should I craft? Mace, sword, daggers? Or it doesn't matter?
If the DW setting is only for opening the set buff, maybe I can used one hand and shied to get another devine gear buff???0 -

Yeah you could go, sword and board, DW on mine is 1 Julianos sword and 1 War Maiden, i ust use DW swords for the twin blade and blunt passive in the DW skill line (5% extra spell damage). Because the main focus of the build is being ranged another issue i forgot to mention was proc'ing a spell damage weapon enchant on the front bar can be a bit hit and miss but even without the enchant proc'ed it doesn't hurt the build and it does really big damage.. Its the rotation thats the problem Magblade magic damage skills are all over the place in their duration time which can mean you losing out on your back bar DoTs if you put too much concentration into whats happening on the front bar.
Impale (deffo have that on the front bar) is fun when it gets to execute time...

agaupig✭But as you go with DW
You just cant be ranged, you must be closed to the mobs otherwise you cant insert light attacks between two skills....
How do you deal with that?Edited by agaupig on September 29, 2017 1:33PM0
