There is no 'best'

The AT is very flexible, pick what suits your playstyle

I prefer using the claw attacks on my fortunata. It's not playing as a Night/Blood Widow though, because I make great use of the controls still! Dominate, Psi Wail, total Domination, and Aura of Confusion are the only powers that make me a fortunata, but boy do they make me a good fortunata!

Basically though, taking the claw attacks lets you get more damage, but the downside is melee. If you take claw attacks, take follow up and mask presence! Follow up adds really nice damage for you, and mask presence will let you crit with lunge.

I've got a long post on Fortuantas, titled "So, Fortunatas" in the SoA boards if you want to read it. It's helpful I'd say.

no one else can know what you enjoy to play. Veat builds can be very different and in the end it comes down to personal choice. And tbh you may as well post nothing if you give so little information about your current build, powers and slotting. The only way of really deciding if a power works for you is to take it and try it out.

This.

If you're out for 't3h best', then take a look at some fortunata builds (_Spirits, to be honest, was excellent). Try experimenting, and playing the character, instead of getting people to walk you by the hand.

A mixture of melee and psionic attacks, with some of the control seems sensible, each to their own. Every VEAT will differ greatly

If its only for a lvl 14ish char why even bother? roll one of each alot easier then wasting respecs on something like that.

Well there is no slow in the psi attacks AFAIK, and only 3 (4 including the nuke) have -recharge. Some of the claw attacks have -recharge and -spd though.

If you go for -recharge for damage mitigation, It'd be best to do it with AoEs. Psi Scream does a hefty -50% recharge debuff, Spin does -20% and Psi Tornado does -30%. Using an AoE combo such as that will heavily reduce the number of attacks incoming.

Of course, with the nice fortunata defence numbers and control it's not needed that much IMO.

I'd say damagewise you can get a nice mix with the fortunata powers and the blood widow powers. If you have Lunge, Strike, Subdue, Dominate and Poison Dart you are pretty sorted for some high ST damage. And you can take your pick of the AoEs, they are all good in one way. I personally took Spin and Psi tornado, as I am always in melee and don't really want to jump backwards for cones.

Note: regarding the -rech numbers, this is from the unofficial mids update so may not be 100% accurate

Basically you want to know if its better to floor recharge in order to get in enough damage before the obstacle does and win or go in and do outright damage. I vote on damage.
