Hello,

Leveling up my Night Widow was a fun process; and I respec'd NW powers a couple of times on the journey to 50. I looked at sample builds and they all had some similar picks in power pools to a degree, namely the speed pool. I wanted to do something different. I want to achieve the effects of the speed pool without ever taking it. This means having a very fast natural movement speed to closely mimic Super Speed, and recharge to mimic hasten, with out ever having to take said powers. Bear in mind I created my NW before the ninja pack( which is a great boon for my build ) came out. Also, I am aiming more for burst DPS rather than streamline DPS.

Primary focus:
1. Recharge
2. Natural Movement Speed
3. Defense

As you've likely noticed, it's incomplete and a bit of a mess, but its what I'm running live at the moment.

Things I know I want to change so far and questions:
1.Eventually remove Decimation from poison dart to fit 2 more parts of Apocalypse

2. Slot out strike with Hecatomb ( this will take a while, maybe a replacement set for the mean while?)

3. Get a 2nd slot into swift (adds another 2 mph)

4. Get more GotA: run speeds or other run speed set bonuses

5. Sub out Scirroco Dervish/Multi strike in Eviscerate for Obliteration

6. Find out what to do with all the basic slotted IO powers. should I frankenslot LoTG/GotA?

7. The power selection order is not what I originally selected it, but its been so long I forget what order I picked them in. Which brings me to-

8. Anything I should drop that would be better? I read that Elude is rather excessive but I choose it for a different reason than most- Run speed!

9. I do run into the problem of endurance in drawn out battles, suggestions?

10. Lastly, more def bonuses would be nice, especially ranged.

Any and all critique is welcomed, and thanks in advance.
