just my 2 cents worth.

hey all.don't know if ppl are getting a lot of tells,when playing a veat,from ppl asking about thier powers/build,etc,but ive had loads.so,just for those ppl,and any others who are interested,heres what ive learnt from playing my widow(lvl 48 atm).
before hitting 24,you'll have to make do with the widow's basic attacks/defensive powers.dont worry though,as they are very,very good.i took spin asap,as later,when hidden,you can crit a lot of badguys at once.most of the attacks for widows' claws have some amount of poison dot,and can be used when hidden to critical hit an npc.
the defensive powers are a good mix,helping to keep you alive,and to buff the team's abilities.
NIGHT WIDOWS:
for night widows,things become a lot more like a stalker,being hidden,then critical hitting,then placate,then another crit,etc.smokebombs are fantastic,as a good -acc debuffer.a good combo is 2 smokebombs,then buildup,spin,then psiwail.you get elude at lvl 38,which is a fantastic tier 9 power to hit when you're outnumbered/in trouble.btw guys,just to note,you're most damaging attack,eviscerate,hardly ever crits when hidden,so use you're next best attack for starters(spin mostly).oh,and,the +movement power you can get,get it asap.it makes you recharge your powers a lot faster.all in all,a goodstalker/scrapper-like toon
FORTUNATA:i respecced into fortunata at lvl 38.never looked back.it's that good.really.not only can you use the basic widow attacks,but you have a lot of psi attacks at your disposal,plus a few ace hold/confuse/immob kinda powers to boot.ive gone for mostly ranged psi attacks with mine,but ive seen some good ppl with melee attacks+psi stuff too,and rock.you know who you are,ppl
the best combo you can have is psi-tornado+psi-scream.together,they do a lot of dam,plus together,they give a -80%recharge to the mob you hit.nasty.the best effect you have is your pbaoe confuse,its fantastic to see the face of your teammates,as you run right into the middle of a mob,and hit it.cleaning up a mob is easy when they're hitting each otheryou also get a good hold attack,that has a good range.make sure you slot a couple of acc enh in it.this toons like a psi blaster,with a few other stuff thrown in.
all in all,a very good toon to do.the only things i cant take out atm,are eb's and av's solo.time will tell
btw,ppl.2 words for ya: MIND LINK.yep,both night and fortunata can have it,and make sure you get it,and 4-5slot it asap.the def buff you get from it,is fantastic,and your team will love you for the anti-psi def it'll give them.it doesn't take normal recharge enh,but io sets that give +rech will affect it.use hasten if you want it running faster.
and no,because i dont use any widow attacks,i can never do a crit.i just aoe the mobs to oblivionbeen asked that quite a few times already.
for my travel power,i went with fly.mainly for hover,but also cos grandville is annoying to get around without it.
took fitness pool.health and stamina is a must,especcially stamina.i found fortunata very end hvy.not so much night though.
both kinds are very good,at different things.im not gonna put up a build,mainly cos i think half the fun is finding out stuff yourself,taking the good and the bad together(till u respec ).
i hope anything i've said here can help someone.widows are a lot of fun.ive enjoyed mine for all 48 lvls so far,and ill be enjoying it most the last 2 lvls.
tyvm to those ppl ive teamed with,especially those who ive done the imperious tf with.thats been the most fun ive had on this game for the whole time ive been playing
good luck,fellow widows,and please,for the love of all that is holy,STOP SENDING ME ALL THESE TELLS!!!!(kidding )
STATIC WIDOW,over and out

You might want to edit this, mainly to make it a teensy bit easier to read.

Whoah...

Wall of Text hits you for 2349864397 points of psionic damage!
You are Stunned!


Yeah, it might be a good idea to edit the text a bit. A few simple things, like capitals, spaces after commas and full stops etc. would help it a lot.

Stock up on insps, take a bit of ST damage, they go down easy (+2 Ballistas included)

Also, see above, would recommend giving that post a spring clean

And I thought MY widow topic was a big wall of text!

Btw, Eviscerate isn't the best NW attack. Slash is, by far.
