The arcs Ghost Widow gives suck.
Unless you want "Darkness" powers, or she has something uber for your AT/Playstyle ((Brute powers are pretty much virtually the same)). Skip it and take one of the other 3. Their arcs are far more entertaining.

I have to disagree, I just finished up my Ghost Widow arc last night and since I can't get the powers just yet I have to say that I was impressed with the arc myself it had all kinds of planning and story. Sure the zoning and dropping every time I entered or left either GV or the building where she is was kinda annoying but the Story itself was awasome.. And I got to punk a hero who thought she was untouchable!

i'd have to agree with Octavius here. i really really enjoyed, not just GW's arc, but all the patron arcs. though i think Scirocco's was my favorite, GW's is definitely my second favorite. i also just picked up gloom on my brute and i gotta say, i love it. until 41, i still had brawl in my attack chain, but now it's been replaced and i couldn't be happier.
Is something going to be done about the fact that Ghost Widow's Dark Consumption for Dominators is advertised on the plaques as a 3 minute recharge when in reality it is a 6 minute recharge?
On 6 / 6 / 6, I talked to Arbiter Rein and he instructed me to read all the plaques and base my patron pool decision from them. Well I did exactly that, making note of Dark Consumption's 3 minute recharge versus Power Sink's 2 minute recharge.
I thought to myself I could let the extra minute of recharge in endurance recovery slide while keeping a bit of backstory with the darker powers. Well as it turns out, Dark Consumption has the same recharge as a tier 9 nuke while Power Sink is sitting pretty at 2 mins. I would not have went with Ghost Widow if I knew this was the case.
Now, to this day, you can still read all these plaques on the Live Servers and come to this very same point that I have. As of today 6/25, the plaque is still wrong . On test, this stuff has been corrected. Does that do me any good? Not at all. I am still stuck with a permanent patron that I picked based entirely off of those plaques.
Do not tell me people are working hard to correct the plaques, I know that. Once again, it does not help us at all if they were completely wrong AT ANY POINT.
In all fairness, I belive the only conclusion available is to lower GW's Dark Consumption to 3 minutes.

Ok i just got soul storm (if thats the name for stalkers) and the animation on the hold is just amazing. I plan on keeping this power and suggest some hold durations. I have some screen shots for yas so here goes:

all classes can get powers from Ghost Widow or any other patron
PPPs and EPPs aren't supposed to be powers worth having in your main lineup. They aren't supposed to the be the "I WIN" button fo choice. They are there so that your toon can have types of powers he wouldn't normally have. So, yes, they do suck in comparison with their counterparts. Last time I checked though, they were there for fun. And while you can max your toon by skipping it. I'm really looking for a reason to have any of four more powers through those final lvls, other than end saving powers of course.
However, it's absolutely priceless to have my tank lob a fireball into a group of villains as it is unexpected at best. And having my tank cast the hold that sticks on a villain... is priceless too.
It's just there for added enjoyment, nothing else. At least for #$# sake, applaud them for giving us epic powers that have DIFFERENT animations from already existing powers... nothing like the beauty of soul storm I say.
