So torn on who to bring... 50 widow for fun and shredding... 9 spider for double XP exploitation and comedy value...

Would like some advice on this. Been playing with the idea of a respec since I got Ninja Run, which I've been using exclusively for travel recently and seems to be doing well, and because Slash has been annoying me with its slow recharge. I have her at 44 now and don't have all the sets obv, so I've been sticking with IOs plus Red Fortunex6 on maneuvers and the 4 indicated ones in Mind Link for recharge and most of the Gaussian set on Tactics. My only problems with the char as she is now is reliance on greens when big hits get through (EBs and big packs of reds/purples mostly) and occasional endurance problems when steamrolling through big groups. I'm also a casual player who has been away from the game for a long time and don't think I'd enjoy grinding out infamy for purple sets, so I went with what I thought would be a little cheaper. :P

Thanks. I took Hasten/SS because I just like having a travel and knew I would want hasten eventually anyway so SS seemed to make sense. Spin I used before the 24 respec and liked its utility soloing.

I'll try Lunge for now, maybe try Slash sometime after getting Mask.

First try at a VEAT. Pretty happy with it so far, the only annoyance besides no self-heal (minor issue) is an occasional gap in attack chain. PvE build.

Generally I attack using Follow Up, Strike, Poison Dart, then maybe Brawl/Knives if bored, then Follow Up, then Spin to get the benefit of stacked Follow Up. I'd like to stick something in there to use during the occasional pause when this happens or if Haste is down, or if fighting a single opponent and want something faster animating than Spin. Lunge or Slash? (I figure I'll get whatever's missing down the road.)

I'm a little lazy slotting this char below 50. Basically things that I find with the exception of a couple of the Mind Link slots.

I already have level 28, but haven't seen the Arbiter yet as I figure it won't make a lot of difference without slotting at 29 anyway. Thanks.
