Ah. Crap. It is. I can't beat the AV. Stupid purple triangles.
drop your difficulty and bring inspirations
and you can always try 'ye olde shivan run', works wonders.... combine it with a nuke or three and you're laughing.
On my corr that can't take a punch at all - I loaded up on all four when I had to take on black scorpion... it was a teensy bit of overkill.

Hey, at least your corrupter could still debuff Black Scopion. The devs decided it would be fun to completely neuter an entire AT against AVs with their fancy purple triangles. :P
Dominators have decent attack power. If you can dodge GW attacks and prevent her to connect with her Dark Regen, you will beat her without too much trouble.
IMHO, stacking purples ( Luck inspirations ) is the way to go if you want to solo her on lowest difficulty. 3 stacked purples give a decent mileage usually.
Also, keep stacking these mezzes on her and you WILL get her held at one point and it will give you a window where you can still blast away while not being threatened. 6 small purples probably should be enough for this fight. Bring 9 if you want to be sure. Of course, bad luck could still get you killed but that is what the challenge is about. It would not be fair if she could never injure you now would'nt it?

Just wait until the end arc and solo Recluse. grr. That one makes Ghost Widow look like a warm-up pushover.

Yeah, Recluse is a tough one for many powersets. The thing that annoyed me the most about him was his end draining attacks that kpet my toggles dropping on most of my brutes that have low defenses. But again, purples are the universal panacea. When i popped multiple purples, every EBs become easyer. I killed Recluse with my dom but i admit i used a shivan for this one since i badly needed a meat sack to keep him busy.

Eh, more specifically as long as it's not he last one (door mission) of each arc. The first one giving you the badge to unlock the patrol pools is irrelevant.
For Ghost Widow:
You can't drop the fight with Numina.
You can't drop the fight with Ghost Widow.
You can't drop the fight with Citadel.
You can't drop the fight with Recluse.
The rest are droppable.

BWA? 4 AVs to get the opportunity for some mediocre patron pool powers? I was just doing it so I could throw in another Luck of the Gambler into Dark Embrace.
Not worth the hassle.

If you notice this part of what you quoted :

The patrons have a total of four arcs, and the last door of each is undroppable.
Thus those four AVs.

[/ QUOTE ]1) Only 1 AV is required for the first arc, that being Numina, and only the first arc is required to get access to Patron Pools.
2) Dark Embrace doesn't take LotG. It's a Resist power, not Defense.

Also, here is the other issue.
Dark Embrace is a Resistance power, not a Defense power. As such, no Luck of the Gambler IOs can be slotted in it.
But you can also snag scorpion shield and slot that there.

Du'OH! Thanks for the info.
If I've taken down Numina, how do I get the Patron Powers? Is it possible to get Black Scorpion as a Patron or do I have to do everything again?
You do cannot rechoose your patron - however, when you level up, once you have access to the patron pool powers, you can choose from any of them (although you can only have one at a time). In case of leveling, this automatically rewards a respec (freespec, even, I think, the only one that stacks with others) so you can go back and re-choose.

Go level, at 41+ it'll give you the option to select from the "epic power pool" just below where you click to select from power pools.
For completing the first arc you receive an earned respec, which you can use by going to Arbiter Lupin in Nerva (next to the trainer) or the new Arbiter (Sawyer?) in Port Oakes by the Black Market there. So even if you levelled to 50 already before completing your first patron arc you can still go back and choose the patron powers.
As for selecting the powers themselves, they used to be, but are no longer locked into the contact chosen for your patron; you can simply select Mace Mastery despite running Ghost Widow's arcs when you go to the arbiter (my Rad/Kin Corruptor is doing Scirocco's arcs but has Scorpion Shield).
And if you really want more AVs, pick Scirocco as a patron and don't drop any missions.
