Need Some Dual Build Advice

What I am trying to do is come up with a soft cap build for both widow and fortunata but without having to take alot of powers outside of what those powersets get. Price is pretty much no object since we have the new merits now. So what ever you can come up with is good. My main concern is that I want to kill as fast as possible and be soft cap without mind link. Mind link is there to fall back on if I get debuffed a ton. I was gonna go the perma mind link route at first but I wanted to skip hasten on this toon. I might have to rethink things on it. Also would tough and weave be a good idea for those final power picks since the epic pools suck ***?

Can you explain the "new merits" thing -- I keep seeing people talking about this, but haven't seen the patch note or description to understand how it makes merits / recipes that much cheaper or easier to get. Thx.

The 'new' merits are for staying true to your side (i.e. Hero or Villain) and as such are referred to as Alignment Merits. You earn them by doing tips and morality missions and choosing to stay hero or villain as opposed to becoming a rogue or vigilante. The first time you 'reinforce' your hero/villain alignment, you earn 60 regular reward merits. The next time, you earn 1 Alignment Merit. You earn 1 AM for each reinforcement of your alignment thereafter. You can also buy these merits, but it costs you reward merits as well as 20 million inf. These merits are forfeit if you change alignments.

Why are they better, you ask? Because they have a drastically higher buying power. 2 AMs allows you to buy any recipe that you could buy from a reward merit vendor. LotG 7.5%, Numina unique, Miracle unique, you name it. For 20-25 AMs, you can buy any single purple recipe in the game. For 30-35 AMs, you can buy any PvP recipe in the game. So, if you really need that Panacea proc or Ragnarok set you can finally buy one instead of waiting for it to drop.

The catch with AMs is that you are limited by how many you can earn. Since there is a 20 hour lockout in respect to tips/alignment missions, you can only earn 1 AM every 20 hours, approximately. You can buy one, but the high price means you won't be able to keep cashing money and reward merits in for long. In this way, the market still stays viable as a way to purchase purples/PvP recipes, but at the same time regular players that don't have access to billions of inf can eventually earn purples/PvP stuff even though it might take a month or so per recipe.

You know that Mind Link is a team buff, right? I'm just pointing this out because you may find yourself using it a lot on teams even when you personally don't need it.

I have a couple of builds for you. I won't begin to claim that they're the best you can do, but they fit my playstyle.

Definately gonna still work in mind link, I just dont want it to be a crutch that I depend on when I need to be soft capped. I would rather start off soft capped and use mind link to make up the difference if I am debuffed. True enough I can see it helping the team which I have no problem with its just I dont want to depend on it that much especially if I am solo.
