That's an easy mistake to make if it's coming from Mid's. I know it threw me when I started working on my 1st NW build.

Nightfall: 50 DDD

Melee Defense:
12% for CT: D
12% for Foresight
8% for TT:Man
4% for CJ
8% for Weave
4% from suppressed Masked Presence

Same for Ranged/AoE -12% (CT: D)


Level 50s: to many to remember at this point

Ah i missed foresight in the sample build i made, looks about right. Personally i think that slotting would take too much compromise but i´m picky where i place my slots.
Thank you for the correction.

I only added CJ+Weave because it's fairly common for a softcapped /SR. I didn't take the fighting pool on my widow.

Soft capping an /SR is a tight build build, Have to be careful with your slots.

Soft capping a NightWidow is alot easier with room to breathe. I hate Claws/SR, but love my NightWidow.....

I found soft-capping my Claw/Sr very easy.

49.96 melee Melee
49.06 range
42.04 AOE ( yes yes not soft-caped)

Did not need elude, and did not take fitness, its not needed
Took Physical perfection and conserve power, conserve is up fast enough that I can attack non stop with 147% recharge time.

I was able to take strike, follow-up, slash, spin, focus, shockwave,
all secondary but elude

Cj+jump
Boxing tough weave
aid self
hasten
Physical perfection, conserve power,

I have 2 widows, I find My (s)crapper survives allot better than either my widows, mainly due to the def debuff resistance, I fight +4 x8 spawns (sometimes mutiple spawns) of Bobcat followers as my regular farm on my claws/sr, the only way I can do a spawn with my widows' is when elude is up. only thing i've found that will drop me below soft cap, is a full spawn of eyes in the shadow shard

but my widows bring more to a team.

Why go Melee Fort instead of NW? Just AIM, Wail, and the option of controls, or is there something else I'm missing?
