Hehe niice. I used to farm lib tv on my fort

I love elude, but looking at other widows it seems I'm the only one heh. I'll prob just keep it (even though vengeance would be great to have as well, esp on SFs).
Man sometimes I hate having a freespec available...
I don't have it, and really the only reason I've considered it is the endurance boost. As infrequently as it would come back, it would still leave me looking for more, so it doesn't actually solve my endurance needs, though it would help. Ultimately, though, since it doesn't serve even as a good "mule" power for IOs I need, I most likely won't ever take it.

I took it on my widow for the +end in hard fights/huge groups. She's already softcap plus to every vector, so the defense is generally uncessary, but when you're trying to shank an AV that extra recovery really helps. Well, and I threw a LoTG global in there, so there's that too.

It really depends how much defense you have and if you're willing to burn a power pick. My Fort is running around with 60+ defense at all times so more defense would be a waste if I ever made an alt widow build. Personally, I would definitely not take it for the recovery boost.

I currently have elude on my widow and it is a wonderful power. Folks tend to think it is unnecessary on softcapped builds but its advantages are undeniable: massive recovery, big defense buffer and one of only two sources of defense debuff resistances widows get. In short you can waltz into literally any situation, pop elude and just mindlessly kill for 3 minutes. Also thematically it works... it's ELUDE for Pete's sake! Lol.
The problem is though that I rarely need it. I usually farm maps on +8/+2 and outside of the few times there have been multiple groups intermingling that possess defense debuffs (mainly malta or arachnos) elude doesn't get much use. If I replace it then I'll probably go with TT:vengeance as it can accept the lotg + rech that is currently sitting in elude's slot. Plus I could log on my son's account and have one of his toons tag along with me as a sacrificial vengeance lamb =D.
I like having it because it allows me to at any moment deal with any situation that arises, yet it goes unused 99% of the time. I was just curious on other widow's outlook on elude and why/why not take it? Thanks guys.
