Estranged son of the evil mutant Mystique, Kurt Wagner was raised by a fortune teller and grew up as part of a travelling circus in Germany. Using his unique physique and agility, he performed as the star acrobat for years until finally attempting escape. During this escape, Nightcrawler teleported for the first time, an event that lead to him being rescued from an angry mob by Professor Charles Xavier, who came to recruit him into the X-Men.Marvel Source
From there, Nightcrawler became a mainstay of the X-Men’s various incarnations, as well as other teams such as Excalibur. He uses his teleportation, expert swashbuckling and superhuman agility to defeat enemies quickly, but maintains a light-hearted and positive attitude and serves as a moral anchor for the team.
Cunning Acrobat
Dodge you need it and this provides it easy and simple
Nice big damage AOE everyone needs one and this is a Fairly good one.
Rapid Teleporter
Your movement power basic needs no more then 1 point . Love it :)
A great power good for small groups of enemies
Passive Ability. +Dmg +Def good all round and increases both dps and survivability.
A good aoe but also used to open the enemy for more damage use it mainly as a debuff.
Signature Move its great fun and damaging as hell.
Expert Swordsman
Use this as your new basic attack combined with the next power you wont regret it.
Passive adds bleed to your basic attack and Crit as well.. Cant go wrong with more crit.
As you get more power you find it hard to choose what to keep on your power bar. This can be active and put on another bar then only scrolled up when you need to reactivate it. Giving both a Dodge and Crit bonus you cant go wrong.
Gear!
Go for things that increase your Dodge and Crit.
Aim for 40% Dodge and Crit and improve either one as you see fit at that point.
Also if none of these are an option Physical Damage increase is a great thing so go for the Glove symbol Uru forged item and enchant based on what you need.
