agile >>> savage it is a fact
That doesn't make it not garbage. Anything can clear any mode with enough scam tactics (scamtics). That doesn't mean anyone actually does it or reps it. I'll just give the short version and say every build is good at something. Niten is no good at anything, even before the nerf.
Attack speed doesn't matter if they're dead. Sure it matters more on pfudor, but let us not forget that the purpose of
avoidance-based mitigation is to deal enough damage to lessen the herd during the turns that you don't get hit. If you have to choose between full damage and half avoidance or half damage and double avoidance, the high damage option is "objectively" superior (IMG:[

Given that light gear is by definition faster than heavy gear, and prof gives +crit and +speed, going full agile is like going full something-else (IMG:[

Agile is good if you're using frd or have low damage, which you'll most certainly have both if you're using frd with niten. Or you could just feather powered gear for a fraction of the cost while killing twice as quickly (IMG:[

If niten is good at something, please share. I tried all kinds of stuff but there's just no point when everything else can do anything it does, better, at a lower cost.
