Am I using Nimrod wrongly?

Logan00

This happened several times already, I have a rank 3 Sig 120 Nimrod the ( supposedly the best) mutant killer, and it take ages to kill mutants, I use the SP1 on armour for energy resistance and then sp2 at 10 attack charges and this happens

Parry heavy till you have 5+ armours and then sp2 for shocks!

Yeah the SP1 for Energy Vulnerability is for longer fights you see in Event Quest, Act content, etc. Battlegrounds is about speed so SP2 is the way to go

Logan00

Thanks for all the comments will try sp2 only

I don't even care to do extra parries. Just the ones needed to get to my SP2 and that crushes most times.

I've found he's so dominant that he's getting the weaknesses very easily, hurting his damage in bgs.

Parry, heavy, dash back, repeat. You can't just punish the defender in this meta without a cleanser

If you throw the sp1 right before the adaptive timer expires, you get the benefits of both the energize and energy vulnerability. I usually do that for non-mutant fights. If I miss the first timer, I don't bother with the sp1.

Like other people have said, when you're up against a mutant, no need for the sp1. Just make sure you parry a couple of times, build up the armors, and he'll be in eradicate protocol by the time you have the sp2 ready.
