How Do You Kill Ghost Widow?
Streams, Santorican. Streams.
In every STF I've done, we've just wailed on her until she's gone down. The heal is a pain, but with enough damage you can over come it. I don't really understand why you waited for her to be held before jumping in with the melee players though, and maybe that was a problem since she had a lot longer for her heal to recharge. Also, the fact that you only had a blaster and a scrapper for damage was probably a factor.

Tripper - 41 Illusion/Emp Troller- Triumph
Dark Senith - 50 Necro/Dark MM - Triumph
Frayed- 42 Elec/Elec Brute - Triumph
Hellfire Harlequin- 38 Fire/SR Scrap - Triumph
Lol I deserve that, I did a search of guides and found someone asking this exact same question. If only I used the Search sooner...
Move along nothing to see, return to your normally scheduled programming.
About the controller part and her healing off the pets , well she can heal off all of them except for the Illusion pets. So ya get rid of all the pets except illusion ones.

I don't know for sure. I heard that she cannot heal from ill pets, but I got impression, while doing MoSTF, that she does heal from them. After starting summoning both PA and ST, near me, I got impression that she wouldn't heal that much as having these pets near her.
Again, I have no proof to say for sure one way or another

I keep hoping, when I go back in time for missions, one of the many faceless night widows I kill ends up being her.

I'm not so sure... The villain arcs for the past hint that Ghost Widow is not quite what she thinks she is.

I dunno... I just keep stabbing her, and that seems to work pretty well for me. 'Specially since she's a ghost.

How do you kill Ghost Widow? First you make sure she's an EB and not an AV. Next you set six or seven poison traps right where she'll spawn. Put your henchmen there too and target the oni. Use noxious gas after setting the henchmen to agressive. Finally you click the blinkie which causes Ghost Widow to spawn. Last step is to spam /poison debuffs and heals till she drops.
Oh wait, that's how my mastermind did it for the Ghost Widow patron arc.

EB version of GW is a push over. I got ambushed by her due to some off the wall vator aggro. (I even used the back vators) I was soul stormed off the back. Two break frees and sow couldn't break it. But I didn't die. Then she black holed me. I guess she didn't know I was WP with high regen. After black hole droped, I hit her with the crey pistol then beat the snot out her. This on unyeilding. Now if she was AV ranked, this story would involved several trips to the hospital and to ourobos to buy a inspiration tray of purples and the casting of the vanguard hvas and a shivan douring the battle because after about trip number 5, it would be time to play dirty. Back on subject, I've been on a few GW draws in stf. The way around the dark heal would be to time the recharge and to go all out the moment she uses it then back off in time to be out of range when she's ready to use it. The dps from the range attackers should be enough to keep her down in the mean time. Just a thought the next time you are the only scrapper on a stf run.

Incorrect, PA is very targetable just in a perma stage of phase er go unattackable and she can't heal off of them. ST is also targetable except that once targeted it will say invalid target when you go to attack it.

[/ QUOTE ]Right, not untargetable, but my actual point still stands.
Also, it's "ergo", which is the Latin word for "therefore". Not two words. :P

Depends on the usage. In the context in which you replied, you are absolutely correct!
However, a little more common usage can be found in this example:
The lightning storm knocked out the lights and something just made noise in the kitchen. At this point I will turn to the BF and say, "Er.... go in first. I'm right behind ya."
Range taunting keeps her from using her big self-heal (three targets hit will almost heal her full). However, you said when the PTOD dropped and she was held, the taunt tank ran into melee. This was likely your problem.
The PTOD would drop, she'd unhold and activate her self-heal immediately. She needed to be kept in range attack mode. So your taunt tank should have remained at range the entire time.

MASTERMIND NUMERIC KEYPAD PET CONTROLS
HAMIDON NUKE RAID GUIDE
Okay I did statesmen taskforce last night for the first time and all went well until Ghost Widow. It was a eight man team: 3 controllers 1 fire/kin, 1 stone/kin, ill/Rad, 2 tanks 1 fire/ss, 1 stone/Em, 1 blaster fire/fire, 1 defender healorz, and me scrapper dark/regen.
The problem was even though we could do enough damage to dent her. We couldn't overcome her self heal. Her insta-death hold was no problem for the stone tank as he never seemed to be hit by it. But it seemed her heal was autohit and though supposed to be a cone hit like a aoe.
THe tactics we used was for the tank to hold aggro at range and get GW to chase. The kins sapped speed. The regen debuffed. When the triangles dropped and conts locked her up me and tanks would run in and do some melee poundage, when holds dropped we would back off. Somehow though she was still hitting something to heal herself and the only thing in range was the ill pets.
I kept asking if the controller if she was healing off of his pets, he said no she couldn't. Is that true?
Are there no ways for melee toons to take her out or would they have to generate more damage than her heal can overcome? When we stood still and just went toe to toe with her it was a stalemate.
In the end we tried to lure her back to the ship for turret help and the Longbow, but that only made it worst because she could target the turrets for heals too.
I was just wondering because we had to quit after not being able to take her. (btw had no problem with Mako, Scorpion, or Scirocco)
