Which NB Ultimate to Use

Phaoryx · April 2014

I'm currently trying to go for a NB tank build, so what's better for AoE/tanking? Veil of Blades or Soul Tether? Both have AoE damage, ST stuns, VoB snares/build up ultimate really fast, while also decreasing damage. I'm currently using ST as it also traps one enemy on to you, which is probably pretty good for tanks. But that less damage on VoB is very enticing... so, what to do? Please provide suggestions on experience, not just theory

Thanks

If you're tanking I would say VoB. You get 60% DR and in the long run it does more dmg.

The tether on ST doesn't actually trap the target, it's just that most mobs stay in range. If you or the target were to move out of range it would break and you would lose that extra damage.

Ah, I see. Thanks.

VoB i say, nice damage, allies can slip away.

Veil of Blades definitely. That damage reduction is so good and you can morph it for a group/self heal+the slip away effect.

Why not both? Weapon swap to what's needed at the time! Although, Veil of Blades is probably better for a pure tank, due to damage reduction.

Nah, my other set is my bow set for DPS. Which I use Soul Tether on, although that's probably not a great idea if I'm trying to kite :P I still love it though. a 4.5 second stun is really useful. Probably should have morphed it to the other one. Not to ask another question, but what should I use for bow?
