If you want I can test weapons/builds against Nurgolth. ^ ^
I’ve already tried a lot and most things barely scratch him.
Huntsman is far from overshadowed, his damage is quite respectable and one of the highest even with Empire Longbow and I mentioned Blunderbuss because it’s the best boss killer against Nurgolth.
Most of WS damage comes from Piercing shot, one miss and you lose all your DPS.
Hagbane DOT and Serrated shots deal “0” damage unless under the effect of a strength potion.
(Making Hagbane WS worst weapon against Nurgolth)
Most of Bounty Hunter’s DPS comes from DoubleShotted, one miss and you lose it.
Crossbow and Hunter repeater is respectable though.
(Used some Lua code @Grimalackt sent me to change halescourge Hp/Armour type to the same as Nurgolth)
