Her attacks don't ignore defense, she just has a rather high ToHit rating (similar to other higher-than-you AVs), and if her hold hits you, it WILL affect you, and therefore your shields will turn "off" while you are being held, and you likely won't be at the soft cap anymore.

If you can joust (cue an attack, jump in, then immdiately jump away in order to avoid much time spent in melee range) these two AV's you'll tend to fair better. Try to stay out of line of sight with them too when jousting if possible as some of their powers (eg. at least 1 of their heals need a target with a toHit roll) can draw out the fight.
Keep an eye on your defenses and buffed as much as possible. Both AV's also have Dark powers so they can debuff your toHit so some yellow Insp's may be in order.
Both can be very tough if you're solo, depending upon powersets and difficulty. Some temp powers can be useful.
Well, Nosferatu has two Mind Control powers (Psionic_Attack vector only), and he's got Chill of the Night (autohit damage and -tohit)

Thanks for the advice guys. I can't remember if I fought Nosferatu or not, I just picked up playing this character after sitting on him for about a year. I did finally take out Ghost Widow: by dropping my difficulty, popping LOTS of orange and green, and jumping about like a twit.

I have a soft-capped BS/SR scrapper that jumped in on Ghost Widow, and got spanked... hard. I assume her attacks just ignore positional defense, is this correct?
