its been said that they are awful after the changes to pvp.
" I don't let me kids play on the Freedom Server" -Oya
Any suggestions for new FoTM?
Orivon: Lv50+3 PB, Noviro: Lv50+1 WS, and many many more...
Since they lowered the elusivity that everyone gets, forts/widows are a bit squishier, so they arent by far the best anymore.
Suggestion? Play a PB.
No, srsly.
New fotm is elec//therm corr. No joke.

Playing something else. Unfortunately this is the truth - solo I am forced to scrap it out with anything that's not a low-HP squishy, and that doesn't work so well on a build with low-ish defense and HP, and no real resistances to speak of. Right now I don't contribute a heck of a lot to a team - my damage isn't all that wonderful outside of crits and all I give to my teammates is Mind Link and the Leadership toggles (but only if they're in range of me, which doesn't happen often in a team situation).

Or are widows/forts not doing very well in PvP right now? I remember they were like hot stuff now, eh. I hate how in PvE i'm well over soft cap for defense and in PvP i'm about 40% lower. Is anyone else experiencing this? Amd what kinda stuff are you doing to make things better.

Not just you. Kind of a struggle now.
I dont really see what the problem is. My widow isnt the invincible demigod that he was before the changes but im still a force to be reconned with in the zones. I eat scrappers for lunch and tankers and brute for breakfast, Blasters fall before my might, and even the mighty blast-fender must keep looking over its shoulder.
Widows are like PBs in that in PVP you must be built with atleast a LITTLE pvp in mind. Slot some HP, some regen, and some extra position defence, and KEEP MOVING.
Dont try to brawl it out, hit and run, and for the love of god use PROCS!

My widow is built purely and entirely with pvp in MIND. In fact, I've spent almost 2 Billion on him IO'ing him for pvp...and my results simply place me at an "average" rating in pvp against "less-well-built" and more cheaply made toons.
That's sad.
And no, Widows cannot even TOUCH PB's in the form of PvP survivability, which is quite the change...
