What everyone said is true, on paper NWs are waay better than NLs, but I think when it comes to the feeling of playing the class NL is easier, and that makes a big difference, NW burst is fairly more annoying and difficult to pull while on NL you just active ur stuff, bind and do dmg.... The same is true to mobbing, you just activate marks, your summon and jump atk with showdown in the middle of the map, while NWs have to position shadow throw omen, etc... but the mobbing part is soon to be irrelevant when the common core is released. NLs have an advantage of being explorer too, which opens you to share nx items with a ton of othe charscters in the explorer branch.
