Description:
I chose to go with hybrid BAMF and swords. Why? Because I like to move like a ninja and dish out massive dps on a single target when I have to. Yes, Nightcrawler is squishy, but if played right, you can dish out good dps without taking too much dmg. I personally feel this is a well rounded build for all situations. Feel free to put more in swords if you enjoy melee or take out swords all together and go with a Purple Haze build provided by @Windchilla.

TRASH MOB ROTATION
Stealth -> Infernal Brimstone -> Flash n Grab everything on screen -> Stealth (2 seconds) -> Dive bomb

This should kill all the trash, some cosmics may be more challenging and require you to blink away (Aim Facility). I stealth for 2 seconds because it lets them take some damage from infernal brimstone before my dive bomb finishes them off. This works well on blue and yellow elites as well. In my current gear, my dive bombs brut for 300-415K.

BOSS ROTATION
Stealth -> Dive bomb -> Infernal brimstone ->Flash n grab ->Righteous Frenzy (Signature) -> Stealth -> Dive bomb -> X- slash (3 – 4 Hits)-> Rinse and repeat.

You won' be able to do this exact rotation 100% of the time because the affixes on bosses change and you have to adjust to their mechanics. I usually use Righteous Frenzy to flash behind the boss and stealth if I need to.

GEAR
Unique – Deathseed
Unique – The White Cloack of Paradise
Unique – Black Gloves of the Priesthood
Unique – Fairy Tale Swashbuckler’s Boots
Unique – Great White Shark

I run full Nightcrawler uniques with the exception of Slot 1, where I use Deathseed. The crit/brut is amazing. You can use his sword unique if you want to go heavy into a sword build.

Medallion – Madame Hydra
Artifacts - ACCoC, Starstone Tooth, Pym’s Shrinking, HoD
Uru forged- +200 Physical dmg
Legendary – Gungnir

Exaclibur is also a viable option, but I like to see big red numbers frequently.

Blessings – 4x Hela
Runeword – River of Souls

Will replace with Lunar Eclipse as soon as I get a Moon Rune

Costume Core – +Spirit, +1 fighting (best I could find for now)
Costume Affixes - 1-3 pure health, 4, health on kill
I've recently changed 1 - 2 = Crit dmg rating ; 3- 4 = Health
Relic – Stack of 100 Lemuria
Enchants – Slot 1 and 5 – Physical dmg, Slot 2-4 Health
