How to choose: My first Widow?
I've never played a fortunata build, but I,ve heard they are quite fun.
I went night widow because my first villain 50 was a stalker, and I like the advantages of being hidden. Also, night widows fight a lot like /sr scrappers, with high defense numbers and elude.
But the biggest difference between the two comes down to choosing between ranged vs. melee.
NW strength is melee whereas Fort. excels at ranged attacks. So which do you like better?
Dual builds allow you to do both you know? You don't really need to choose one.

This. Build both. I like to play my Fort with Follow Up and (so far) Dart Burst, Lunge and Strike, so my Fort is a combo build, really. But if you're wavering between Widow and Fort, there's no reason not to have each in the same character.
So, my first Widow just reached 24, and I'm totally torn.
Do I become a Night Widow, or a Fortunata?
With my arachnos soldier, the choice seemed much more simple (spider on back or not?)
So, I'd love to hear from people who loved playing their widows, on either side. I don't really care if one side would "beat" the other in a fight. I'm much more concerned with how much fun you had playing them, and why.
