Torrentor

I am running 2 different KMs. /Electric Armor is great, almost full coverage on resist. /Willpwr is self-sustaining. Don't even need Stamina with /Willpwr. Either set is great. /Willpwr is probably better to solo with if that is what u are looking for.

/SR gives you great def vs. melee, AoE, and range: but when u get hit, it HURTS. /Regen is also great for soloing, but I am starting to believe /Will is better overall.

There it goes... Freedom going down in 30 min for 1 hr. fix

This, I agree on:

There is a problem when people have to delete toons or switch servers to enjoy content they paid for. Not to mention I cannot access the charater slots I PAID for. Not the slots that come with the expansion, but the $9.99 for 2 slots.

But I do trust Mod 8... I mean THE OCHO... to keep us updated. He says he will.

Apologies, but is there any ETA on this? I mean.. 3 months waiting, paid in advance, paid for toon slots I can't access..

Count me in Luna! I was thinking of bringing out my Blaster or Fire / Rad. But if u need a scrap I can use my Claws / Regen..

I will be around for Monday nites. I am definately making an electric troller no matter what. but will prolly make something else to run with the group. This way I can run something new when the group is not online.

Not sure what to make yet, gotta consult the old Mids when they update! I will PM you when I figure it out...

Great run last night! Got 5 badges and the Portal Jockey Accolade, 3 orange salvage, and took a pic with Statesman! No defeats, although, where the hell WAS Mother Mayhem?! She put the hurt on my armor b4 I even saw her. That sneaky wench! I think she broke a horn on my helmet!

13 AVs in one run... Go Freedom train, Go!!

Greetings!! Sry, had a montior issue yesterday. I will indeed be bringing the Peace Cleaver on this journey! Looks like you need a scrap in our group anyway, and I need the badge for the Cleaver.

lvl 50 Claws / Regen.

I also have the Jenkins Thread active on my list. It should be at the first mission of the story arc if u need.

Lookin to join!

I have: Peace Cleaver (50 claws / regen) who would like to step up to the challenge...

How should / would these 2 procs function? I am just not noticing the effects...

1. Energy Manip: Chance for Stun slotted in Physical Perfection (on scrap)

2. Gaussian's Sync: Chance for Buildup slotted in Focused Acc (on scrap also)

I would expect #1 to give alll my attacks a chance for stun, but I am probably dreaming there...

I would expect #2 to give me a chance for buildup on every attack I make as long as FA is active, but again, I think I am dreaming....

Figured I would check with the proc-masters out there instead of just dreaming...!

Thanks so far for the feedback. One of my fav toons on blue side is my Claws scrap, and I see similarities in the widow obviously hence my idea to make one. I do like the stealth game.

I just ran through all the Widow guides. Gonna check the Fortunata guides. I get your point though, fourspeed, The ranged / Holds game is probably more my style so I need to review that as well...

As for the infamy... I do quite well on blue side. I am sure I can do the same on red, just haven't invested the time yet.

What's crazy is the flexibility of the AT. You can really do alot of different things.

I hate red side with a passion. Really.. But I love villians. Which brings me to a problem of how to enjoy red side. I have been playing for 2 years, most of it on blue side. I run almost all the ATs on Blue but am at my best with a Troller or Scrap. I have run a MM, a Dom, a Brute, and a stalker on red, but none over lvl 20. Judging by my play style I have come to the conclusion that the Widow would be fun to play.

Why I hate red side? First, it seems I run out of end completely with any toon I use. I can't see living without sta at lvl 20. Second, it feels like there is no def. My Dom has holds and dmg, but no heals or def. My MM is dead meat if the minions go down fast. My Brute is ok as is the Stalker, but not enough for me to do. Third, I have not more than 3mill inf to work with. The BM was poor for me, but I expect the merger to fix that.

So how do you Widows do things? I love the double Manuvers/Assault combo, and all the team buffs.. but how do you handle the end? Also this permalink, must take alot of infl since you can't slot with recharge chips and must rely on global rech. I mean, come on, those LotG +rech chips go for 200mill or 200 merits. That takes a while to get one, much less three. Or are these VEATs only for the rich

My claws/regen rolls with Follow up/strike/slash/focus/Evisc/Spin as a combo. I love the focus as it gets the Knockdown right when they turn to run. I see all that on NW except the focus. Are there any standard combos? Or is it better to mix a 3-4 hit combo with a few ranged attacks?

Anything skippable in the build? Vengence I guess? Also I suppose I would go with Follow up over build up since you cant have both. Unless I went all ranged.. See what I mean? I just can't decide. How about a few ideas to help me with. Any opinions would help. I play on Freedom and will team mostly, but wouldn't mind a solo mish here and there.

I always played my Claws/Regen to regen health faster than they could damage me. My base regen is 33.1 hps/second and recovery is 4.07/second. With Dull Pain and Instant healing on, my max hps go to 2265 and regen is 126.8 hps/second.

I run with 5 toggles on and never run out of end. Defenses are only 5-10%, but with reconstruction recharging every 30seconds, and MoG every 2min (which puts me at the resistance cap to everything except Psi), I havent had any probs.

Granted that's without any purple sets in the build. I am IOing it out, but havent got the purps yet. I still have a 31.3% global haste (+hasten) and a +68% ACC bonus and +13.8% to hit.

I've done STF, Hammi Raids, GMs, AVs and this toon holds his own. There are holes to fill, but generally I can take an opponent out before he damages me. Love the /Regen...

My previous 50s:

Torrentor (Energy / Elec) Blaster
Magma Burn (Fire / Rad) Troller
Barundar (Dual Blades / SR) Scrap
Mental Torment (Mind / Kin) Troller

And my newest:

Peace Cleaver (Claws / Regen) Scrap : I soloed him to lvl 49, then did a Hammi Raid, ITF, Killed 3 GMs, and capped it all off with a STF!

I have been wanting to make a spiner for a while. The debate I am having is what secondary to take.

It seems that the best defense is between Invul, Dark Armor, or Electric Armor. I am trying to avoid Invul because I have it on my tank and want something different.

Dark Armor (without IO sets) gives def against everything except knockback. Electric armor seems to give more def and can easily hit the cap vs. Energy, but no Toxic def. It also has KB def, but uses more end to keep the shields up.

I will be teaming mostly with this toon, but solo occasionaly. What secondary is gonna allow me to survive the aggro of the AoE king best? End has to be a major issue. Maybe I would be better off with regen or Invul?

Thanks for any suggestions...

Copy on that.. I missed the integration chipping there. Changing them gave me about another 100% to my regen rate. Fixed that. Thanks!

Ok, here is what I came up with based on the suggestions. I wanted to keep some of my IO sets in, but the damage looks better. I kept the +stealth chip in SJ because it only puts me 3mph under the cap and, well, I like stealth! lol... Looking better? And thanks for the help everyone.

This toon is already lvl 37. I can respec to adjust, but I already have up to lvl 37 powers on my list...I will tool some powers around and see where I can add dmg..

Is there enough def on this build?

I am running this toon, solo. He is currently lvl 37. Used to run +2 - +3 lvls higher. Now I am having problems with equal lvl foes... Did Regen get the bat since i15? Or did I miss something in my build? Or are the enemies just that tough? Any thoughts?

First time trying to import my build, sorry if it comes out wrong: Here it is:

I guess that's a double no?

I will use what IOs I can, but do not have that much infamy. I can probably get the knockback protection chip from Karma...
