the only widows that have redraw between claw and psychic attacks are fortunata and blood widows.
the night widows use their claws with their psychic attacks, so no redraw.
and mental blast is actually pretty dang strong on a night widow, in my opinion.
Magisterum- 50+3 Fortunata--Virtue
Lukerion- 33 Emp/Rad Defender--Virtue
Noah Heartily- 34 SS/SD brute- Virtue
Mika Heartily- 50+1 Fire/MM blaster-Virtue
With those changes to the pools, I'll be looking at Aid Self, Follow Up, and Mental Blast or Poison Dart.
Aid Self, because my rarely hit, but it hurts when I am.
Follow Up for some additional damage.
Mental Blast for a ranged attack, since Dart Burst doesn't always cut it, especially when I'm avoiding additional aggro in mobs.
Poison Dart, so that I can further reduce mob regen. I'm big on being able to solo AVs.
1st respec into a fort, lol
Then you can have a Claw chain and a non claw chain depending on the situation with more Range, AOE and Control.

This is true, but you have to make more of an investment to reach the same levels. One major thing being the longer recharge time of mind link and mental training not being available. If you have the inf to throw around, melee fort is the best option.

Oh, I haven't played my Night Widow for so long (my brother's account) and I thought using the mental attacks cause weapon draw.
If NW can bypass redraw, why does Bane have to draw?
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

In this case, switching between claw attacks and mental blasts will cause redraw, and the OP wants to avoid redraw, so I don't think that would be the best option for OP.

Fortunata widows will have redraw when switching between claw and mental skills because their main FORTUNATA skill tree has no claw use.
Night widows has no redraw because their skill tree has both mental AND claw skills in it.
and a bane is not a widow, the widows and spider soldiers aren't really....related much, skill-wise.

This still doesn't explain why Bane needs to redraw by using Surveillance which belongs to his branch. |

And duh, I know Bane isn't Widow.

He has to redraw, because the device isn't part of the mace. It would cause clipping issues that Developers tend to prevent or fix.

With fitness inherent coming with I19, Im wondering about more powers...
Never took mental blast and psychic scream for Night Widows before, but in the costume creator, power selection, before blasting widows got their claws out.
I dont understand why, it should be removed since is a psi attack.
If widows already got their claws out before blasting, still doing the claw redraw animation?
I hate redraw. Thank you
