Fortunata respec: maneuvers or assault?

Hey guys/gals,

First, let me clarify. I took all TT powers excluding vengeance. Now, I would like to respec my fortunata and was wondering if I could get some input.

I'm not home right now so I can't post a mids hash, but here's my question. I've only room for two, and there's 3 choices: Maneuvers, assault, TT veng.

I have both maneuvers and assault to stack with VEAT maneuvers/assault. But a little end heavy, even 2 end reducers on assault and 5 red fortunes on maneuvers.

If I drop maneuvers I'll be slightly under cap on range and aoe (about 41% on both). If I drop assault my team will lose 15% flat damage. But... there's always that teammate that goes splat at just the right moment and veng is ridiculously awesome. So, if it were you, what would you take out of the 3?

I'd take Maneuvers and Assault and splurge some merits on a Miracle +Recov for Health if I'm having endurance issues.

I have all three on my Fortunata and Night Widow characters. I'm not sure what your build looks like, but you should be able to have them all unless you are going with some kind of hybrid build.

Let's see, off the top of my head:
dart burst
telekinetic blast
subdue
dominate
aim
psi tornado
psi wail

Then everything from widow training except CT offensive

mask presence
confuse
mind link
ghost widow immobilize (thematic reasons + I love aoe immob.)
CJ + SJ
swift + health + stamina
maneuvers + assault

That's my 24 powers. To be honest, I'm leaning towards staying the way it is now and just getting either the health +recov or that end mod +recov. But... veng... argh lol.

(btw thanks to both of you for your inputs!)

Ever think of dropping Dart Burst and picking up Dark Oblit since you've already got the Immobilize? Avoid the redraw and the horrible activation time and hit 6 more targets. Or u can drop Dart Burst and just pick up Veng instead

That does sound good, although I'm a bit hesitant to not have an aoe if I exemp down to the teens or 20s. I didn't pick up tornado until I had foresight + cloak + confuse for defense/utility.

To be honest, I picked up dart burst mainly cause it looks great , I could get it in early, and it's not psi damage. I guess I've gotten used to the redraw after all this time.

Oh yeah, I forgot I don't have CJ + SJ anymore heh. I went on a late night respec mission last week and switched to hover + fly for a more ghost widow-esque style. Hover + maneuvers + assault + all 3 TT leaderships + indom. will + mask = around 1.30~ish end on me

I build for effectiveness but also for style, although now I wish hover to have the end cost of CJ.
