Technically, lorewise, Arachnos troops are very well trained (hence their inherents and better leadership skills) and have better equipment (for wolf/crab/bane. Widows and fortunatas are simply even more trained). Comparatively, they would be similar to the IDF/Seers (you can see several similarities between the two, or between the Praetorian force and Arachnos itself, with the exception of Warwalkers, but Arachnos have those fliers too).

I think the war walkers are more akin to mass produced Jade Spiders, which Arachnos has.

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

You know, technically this is true, but only because only one AT gets TT:A. |

To an SoA, L:A and TT:A are identical. And just to be clear, it depends on the CASTER, not who is effected. (So a Defender's L:A doesn't buff a Scrapper less than himself)
Widows can end up being superior to most of the other combination archetypes.
Also, are more versatile, the only real archetype with more than 3 damage types (toxic, lethal, psi, smashing, negative.)
Uhm.....team buffs, we can have double maneuvers, double assault, mind link is one of the best buffs for teams...Foresight is the best defense passive buff....
Fortunatas get the best single target boss stun in the game.
and well, soldiers I hear(haven't played one) are either single target powerhouses, or AoE powerhouses.
also, I THINK(not sure) that the arachnos maneuvers and assault are more powerful than the leadership pools, and also....soldiers get those nifty robots :3
