In my opinion, is better distract. A chance to hit is to with pelting strikes. I'm not sure if the attacks are niob level slowed quite well. Additionally, do not know if Nova will be good for niob. Rather, it is not needed, because without the knowledge of damage at higher levels practically do nothing. I'll have to do this character again xD In Cleansing Brilliance are better damage against mutants T, because there is more mutant bosses, and the undead, and so easy to fall, although they sometimes have to grind a few times. Mutants is more, they are throughout the land
