Pets from the brutes' epic are just [removed]. No dmgs, no resistance, big recharge time... Just don't waste a power for it.
Hi, I have a SS/EA Brute but I didn't go with Ghost Widow so I'm probably not the best person to give advice. I chose Mako and was very underwhelmed with the pet he gives, the recharge is very long and the pet itself didn't last long (because he dies not expires).
One thing I can say is that you will get granted a respec for completing your patron story arc, so you can try out the patron powers and the respec if you decide you don't like them.
I got the summon pet from ghost widow on my Fire/Stone brute, and i really dont like it .
the pet dies very easily and does not do that much dmg, you'd be better of getting something else imo. 
From my experience...
I got Mu Striker for my SS/Elec. Since his attacks are ranged, I have Hasten and Lightning Reflexes, I have him up 80% of the time and he is smart enough to stay back and run from AoEs. Heck, he doesnt die in LRSF!
Now... I tried the Widow with my fire/fire... I can sumon her every 15 minutes... just to watch her get into melee with purple mobs and die quickly..
Dont take the widow... although Gloom and Soul Tentacles are quite good.

Which is a shame, because he looks awesome waving his little coral hammer around.

Thanks a lot!
It's decided...I'll get gloom, Dark Obliteration , Cloack Energy and swift...
I guess it depends on your playstyle. I tend to herd with my brute and someone following you around shooting your foes can disrupt that.
Am making a Stone/EA next and it will probably have the pet but neither of my current brutes will

QFT, I've had the exact same experience with those 2 pets. (except as my brute with GW is SS/Stone, I only have the "chance" to see the night widow die every 20-30mn or so)
I've got Black Scorpion on my Stone/Stone Brute, and he seems to last quite well, might be something to do with taunt and mudpots keeping the aggro off him, but with 2Acc and 3Dmg he contributes a bit to fights. Shame about the recharge on him though, so much so I usually forget to summon him.
Hi!
My EA/SS brute as got 40 and I have decided to take the Widow as patron mainly due to the ToHit debuff Gloom and Dark Obliteration grant. However, I'm not sure whether it is worth to get the Summon Night Widow power or not... What do you think, it is worth the power and the enhancement slots or may I get Energy Cloack instead?
