Yet Another Night Widow build request

Posted

Hello,
I've seens TopDocs and others builds for Night Widows and they are all very interesting. My problem is, I'm still very much the noob and I'd like to see a PvE solo build that didn't have IOs in it but had levels for powers/slots selected that I could use as a guide as I go.

I know a lot of you probably are tired of such requests and I wholeheartedly thank you in advance for the build help.

I am in the same boat and would like to see the same thing.

I didn't put any enhancements in it because it really depends on how much you want to invest but for most parts:

1. Put Defense Set in Mind Link to reduce recharge.

2. I skip travel powers all the time. You already have Mental Training for speed so take Hurdle. I also take Combat Jumping for more +def and even higher jumping. I think that's good enough to travel in CoV.

3. You want to take either Poison Dart or Dart Burst. Both have -regen. -Regen becomes useful against AV. Poison Dart is very good because it has range (good for pulling and killing runners) and it does better damage than Swipe. Swipe is just faster. Since you are not going for crazy set bonuses, I don't think damage-per-activation matters that much. Poison Dart > Swipe.

4. NW's Scream actually does very decent damage but with longer recharge which doesn't matter 'cause you either jump in for melee and jump back or you hit Scream first and then jump in for melee (that's why I picked Spin).

5. If you are not going for sets, then you should put -endurance in each attack. You already have mental training for more recharge and Hasten.

6. The slots in Foresight and Combat Defensive vary depending on uniques. If you can afford +3% defense/resistance unique, then put more one slot in either one. If you can't, 2 Defense SO is good enough.

Have Fun.


What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

This is awesome, thank you. The slots/level is extremely helpful. I will put in IOs at 50, I was just having trouble finding builds that played a roadmap up to that point.

The slot/level is up to you. Some like to take Hasten earlier so it's up to you.

Once you hit level 25+ then it's well worth it to buy IO enhancements or to create them yourself. There's no advantage to waiting until 50 that I can think of.

If I were you, once you make level 22 I would slot level 22 common IOs and keep those slotted until you reach level 37 and make your IO sets level 40.
