Either build takes quite a bit of inf to get going nicely... Night widows are virtually useless now except for slash so GJ devs on that one. Forts are better now simply because the variety of IO's you can fit into them. Banes with soft capped ranged def are pretty deadly though, by themselves it takes awhile to down a target pending on the build though. Just my few cents
Just my two cents here,
I'd vote Fort or Huntsman builds over other villain epic builds, primarily because of the range, tools available, and variety of IO's that can be fitted with
Crabs- only one w/o stealth + having decent resists( one of advantages over other soldier builds) not being what once was + limited utilility of pets in PvP, lowers its utility here, its only real advantage here is having range and dull pain
NW's - it is possible to make ranged NW, but it won't be quite as good as a Fort is at range, w/o some of the other advantages, pve wise you'd want the standard NW build, which is primarily melee, which isn't the greatest in PvP( heck a NW's main advantage over a fort in pvp, is Elude, which while not being what it once was, is still decent in pvp)
Bane build, a standard bane build has the same problems as a standard fort build w/o having access to elude, going for a ranged bane( ie using primarily the ranged mace attacks), will only annoy you
As title says, what's the best chose for a pvp oriented char ?
I'm tinking about Night Widow od Bane Spieder.
They seem a mix betwheen stalker and srappers..
