Introduction



This is HLGame in-game. My personal build preference is to keep the number of skills to a minimal such that all the powers you need are available on the toolbar, with at most an additional one or two less-used powers on hotkeys (F1-F3).

Nightcrawler is awesome from the day he was launched and I love playing him even when he was still in Test Center. Most builds will include Flash and Grab or Blink Strike, but I chose to go with Dive Bomb. The idea of this build is to use stealth and Dive Bomb, dealing massive AoE damage, then hit them with DoTs via skills in Expert Swordsman skills.

The usual rotation is Teleport - Infernal Brimestone - Shadowmeld - Dive Bomb - X-slash. Righteous Frenzy is thrown into the mix between cooldowns.

The choice of medallion and spirit regeneration option ([item]94[/item] which I use) in this build is less conventional than most builds, but it has proven to be sustainable over long X-Def sessions.

Gear



[item]35[/item] is my choice due to the dodge. I use
exclusively to return health and spirit in this build.
[item]39[/item] is nice in groups for the damage rating and +spirit when you defeat an enemy, which helps with spirit regen.
[item]37[/item] is good for the crit.
[item]204[/item] may be preferred by some for the damage, defense and health.

[item]94[/item] can be used to regen spirit in the case where [item]101[/item] is not available. With Great White Shark in slot 5, and
, bleed effects proc quite often.

With this build, some of the runes used should be into defense or health, for survival.

Legendary



Gungnir - Even if you have reached diminishing returns on Critical Rating, the Critical Damage and Rank 5 rock!
Excalibur - The alternative choice for the heal on hit (rank 5), some nice damage and increase in crit.

Relic



Lemuria - self-explanatory (this seems to be the relic of choice on majority of builds, for all heroes).
