I am gearing my lowbie Nightblade up, and could use some input.
He is (supposed to be) pure PvE, dual weilding stamina character.
Since he is a lowbie, I don't want to spend much time on this, and definitely do not intend to dungeon farm.

What crafted/overland sets should I combine for best effect? It appears the choices are Hunding's Rage, Night Mother's Gaze, and Spriggan's Thorns.
What do you suggest? I can't figure out what's better, reduced physical resistance or added physical penetration?

    You'll be good with any of those 3 sets that you listed, although Hunding's + Spriggan's is probably your best bet right now.

    For overland stamina Nightblades I suggest 5 Night Mother's Embrace, and 3 Night Terror for a fun combination of sneaking around because it reduces your sneak radius and sneak cost... that is if you prefer to play as an assassin/thief on a very stealthy build. If you're going for best performance, then Hunding's + Spriggan's.

    Do you think flat +penetration is better than reducing target's resistance?

    I typically carry up to three sets on me, so the sneaking build is doable as well. Plus, this character is a cat, so I'm not that worried about sneaking.

    If you're not lvl 50/cp160 it's probably easier to stick to crafted.

    Just craft five hunding body, nmg head shoulder and dauls and bow. Get training on all and at to purple, that extra 7.5% from 7 purple armor and weapons is worth it then just use any Stam jewelry you find.

    Has it even occured to you on your SJW crusade that I might just had not friggin' understood what it meant?

    P.S. It's typed "misspelled" without a capital letter since you decided to play this stupid game.

    If you are talking about the difference between choosing Night Mother's Gaze and Spriggan's Thorns, then the answer is Spriggan's Thorns (for flat out penetration).

    The main reason being that Spriggan's Thorns comes in jewelry so you can pair it with a set like Hunding's. You could always run Spriggan's + Night Mother's if you want, though.

    I miss type one word and you call me a sjw? I hope you feel good about yourself. Not my fault you can't put 2 and 2 together and use context clues to understand what I was talking about. You started this stupid game and you are the one that is all bent because of it.

    I think I will simply use Hunding's+Night Mother, because even the overland sets are annoying to farm on a lowbie. I'll keep what you wrote in mind for when I get to 50 though.

    Ignored. I don't have the nerves to deal with your kind.
