I don't expect many to pay much attention to this but, i did this cause i rally just felt like it lol. Any who, Try this set up. It is VERY viable but demands for some substantial skill. Blade dancer Blink - for the super cheap blink shotgun of course, but it also is a great follow up to a nlb body shot. Shoot -> blink -> blink strike(or) shoot. Arc bolt nades - easily cleans up body shots. Fast twitch - best ability so you can focus armor stats on discipline and intelligence. Also cleans up body shots quite well. Quick draw - applies snapshot, single point sling, and instant readiness after all actions to all weapons) The last perk is up to you. I prefer hungering blade. Healing after killing things makes arc blading a lot easier. Gear No land beyond Your favorite shotgun Your favorite heavy Armor Knucklehead radar - not only is it the coolest helmet, it goes perfectly with nlb when you are hard scoping. the only other way of obtaining third eye on a sniper is using the exotic sniper patience and time.  favorite everything else - be sure to focus on intelligence and descipline (fwc specializes in this) How I play it Mastering the reload cancel is really important first and foremost.  After shooting, just reload and sprint. You will kind of wave your gun and you will be ready to fire again. If the enemy is head shooting you with most primaries you can end up dead. But if not you can win the engagement. I've gotten most of my problems from tlw players. I suggest blink shotgunning them. Don't miss out on special ammo. Camp it if you must. And after obtaining it makes your way to the next box till you're stocked. Running around with only a nlb to defend yourself with is crazy stressful. This is a mid range heavy set up. Out snipping a player using a special slot sniper with nlb is possible, but it's nigh impossible at an extended range. This set up should not be taken to combined arms.  Be slippery. Let enemies follow you. Tease them a moment and let them walk in your line of sight. Pre-Measure that head shot distance from the ground and fire away. Remember at cqc if you only manage a body shot blink in the air for that ninja melee blink strike. If you have a nade handy, use that+blink.... blink is so gay lol Practice makes perfect. I am firm this is the optimal nlb crucible build but it won't win you rumble matches in the beginning. And when the easy mode players (tlw + felwinter) roll in, your aim will truely be tested. I have won plenty rumble games with tlw players running around and still managed 2.0- 3.0 kdr. But it took me a good while to get there. Most importantly, have fun and make EM salty!
