I'm the first to admit NB's give me issues as a Mag Sorc but I did figure out something odd about them after having several long engagements with them 1 v 1. A lot of the more formidable NB's all seem to have the same exact build. Aside from Radiant Magelight not really helping against their burst, during a prolonged fight I noted right away that my two heaviest hitters, Frag, and Flaming Reach, almost always miss, or are dodged. Literally like 90% of the time. The only thing I could hit with is my flame staff, Degeneration, and Endless Fury. If my heavy hitters DO happen to hit, it does very minimal damage literally like 1.5k-2k. That pretty much takes my burst damage away from me. Now I know NB gear and passives etc can give them a pretty good chance to dodge but how it is that my main attacks or always dodged or they miss, and I mean they literally miss every time.

There was also an instance where a NB appeared in front of Nik and just stood there. Me and another Sorc started range attacking him. He didn't even fight back, he just stood there while we dps'd him, he cast "Rally" and nothing we did even got him below 80% health. This to me seems entirely OP and doesn't seem like a matter of gear. He may have been a tanky build but he also hits like a ton of bricks. That seems like the best of all worlds and something decidedly stinks about it. If a NB can just stand there letting 2 Sorcs dps him with no fear of dying, imagine what a group of them do, and they do travel in packs with the occasional healer and Sorc (whose shields never budge).

Some people say its some kind of "dodge cheat" and I'm always skeptical about "cheats" but that seems odd that they can dodge so much that other classes have little or no chance to defeat them.

There's also something very fishy about a particular Sorc I see who when they get knocked down, like they automatically pop back up instantly like its automated. Their body goes flat but never touched the ground, its literally back up that fast. I have never seen that before in game.
