I'm usually a lurker (aka not a poster) but I found two things that I, personally, would try to change.
1. the +3% def Steadfast IO in Indomitable Will could be moved into Tough (who is unslotted). You don't need to use (or have the power on toggle) to get the benefit, it's a set bonus and will work just fine that way. Also freeing up a slot in Indomitable will.
2. You have a set bonus that exceeds the rule of 5. It's the 10% (0.54 HP/sec) Regeneration one (2 piece lotg and possibly another set). This means that you have more than 5 of the same bonus and any above the first 5 have no effect whatsoever. The set bonuses do not need to be from the same set, as long as they provide the exact same bonuses, you can only benefit from a maximum of 5.
As for the build, I'm not really good with those, but I'll try to look at it more, in case there are no other kind soul around.
Oh, I just thought about a goodie that I enjoy quite a bunch on my widow. A +Stealth IO in Sprint will allow you to reach full invisibility when coupled with Mask Presence (or at least, that's what I've read). Pretty handy to run around missions and not be noticed, even when colliding with a pack of angry dudes that would like nothing more than to shred you to pieces (the way the IO works is that as long as Sprint, or the power slotted with it, is toggled you get the stealth effect. If you put the IO in a 'click' power, you only get the effect of the duration mentioned -120sec I think). It's also fairly cheap, if I remember correctly.
Hope this helps.
Thank you Narkor.
With your suggestions I was able to increase my recovery rate slightly and (what I assume) have made myself invisible.
Does anyone else see any other improvements?
Thank you.

Incarnate soft-cap is a minimum of 59% (64% - 5%). Each Orb adds another 10% or so, best to judgement those Orbs anytime you see one.
Assault is every bit as good as shatter armor, due to redraw issues limiting Shatter Armor and your personal offensive capabilities, at least when either soloing or fighting anything softer than an EB while teaming. Shatter is also a pita to apply and use optimally, while Assault is automagic. In the end, Assault is better for solo and teaming when not killing an AV, While Shatter Armor is better for taking down an AV while teamed. Which do you spend more time doing, or which do you prefer to specialize in ? I finally gave in to the inevitable and switched back to double assault, and I've never looked back again.
It appears you could easily get another 1.5 defense out of Mind Link, and 1.1 out of Foresight. That's like a nearly free PvP Defense IO.
You could also plan on cardiac or musculature radial for +recovery, making it much easier to expand your offensive and defensive capabilities by giving you much more flexible slotting options. There look to be many options you may not have looked at in a fairly focused approach to get every +recovery and +recharge bonus you could find. I make the assumption that is an informed preference that understands the sacrifices that were made in return.
I also assume it is an informed preference to aim for a the incarnate softcap within the build without inspirations, understanding that you will still be vulnerable anytime there is an orb in a spawn (which is almost every spawn), and understanding the sacrifices made in reaching that goal.

Musculature radial provides +Recovery? Dag nabbit, now I have to rethink my Fort build.
It's not like I run low on End a lot, it's just that it does happen occasionally and I have to keep an eye on it. Fortunately I haven't had the stuff I need to make the Tier 4 yet. So, sacrifice some damage from the core for the +Rec, or keep the extra damage and put up with chowing blues occasionally? I hate decisions like this.
I forget whether it's +endmod or +recovery, but Musculature does have that at the tier 3 and tier 4 level.
That said, endurance reduction is more effective because it minimizes endurance use in the first place, and usually by a larger amount overall than +endurance modification or +recovery can replace for the same amount of modification.

As with your prior statement about assault I'll assume that maybe you're suggesting that +recharge and +recovery are not what I should be going for? In that case you're suggesting that +damage%? It is possible to perma mind link with only~68% recharge, so I don't have a problem giving up a fair bit of my recharge--if the gain from losing it is worth it.
I chose to take a focused +recharge and +recovery path because I was under the impression that with higher of both you could pump out more attacks more quickly with less possibility of running dry. Now if I'm wrong it that assumption I'm open to hear otherwise. In the mock up of build I threw together with your suggestions posted in a bit there are some changes worth mentioning.
- Recharge% down 85%
- Accuracy(from sets) is down 21%
- Damage% is up 21%
- Mind link is still perma
- End use is up to 1.27 from 1.06

IMO I'd really stick with +rech and trying to get as close to perma hasten, and also focus on damage - the more damage + rech = the less you'll need to heal - in other words, you'll be able to drop Aid Self.
I've been testing out a new build on my NW. Not quite perma haste, but wow does she pack some punch, and no purples (yet). I run her with a basic core alpha cardiac and I don't have any issues with endurance - great for +0/x8 rikti missions (could probably do more quite happily)

The test server is your friend. You can transfer yourself more than once to TC, transfering and Duplicating your wealth, IOs, and Builds. Then respec the various builds you want to test, and run a few missions, or even specialized AE missions. This can save you a load of pain vs builds on the live servers.
---
I wouldn't remove hasten.
When I say more damage, I don't necessarily mean +damage bonuses.
More recharge typically means more endurance costs.
More recharge typically does mean more damage, but only to a point. If you're pumping out 250 dps with moderate recharge and max recharge that costs a few billion more gets you to 260, is it worth it ?
No, I've never calculated for what the minimum recharge should be for maximizing recharge vs damage. However, It's my opinion it can be achieved without purples, and probably is somewhere around when hasten falls into the 130 to 140 second recharge range. This, However, is just a guess.
((One purple Set +accuracy) or (two normal set +accuracy of sufficiently low level for whatever you want to exemp)), + Kismet Level 10 +accuracy, +TTL, +ML is all the accuracy you need to cap to-hit vs +4s. This assumes no level shift and minimum slotting of around 40% to 45% in the actual powers. Translation, Most IO builds are overkill for accuracy when set bonuses apply.
Musculature Radial Paragon will gain you something in the range of 0.10 to 0.15 endurance through +endmod of a standard slotted stamina.
Cardiac Core Paragon will gain you 1.00. ~ 0.33 endurance on your toggles and another ~0.67 on your attack chain for a total of 1.00, or more.
Ageless +Recovery will gain you 2.4 eps. Over 1.61 + a refill every 120, for something around 2.4 eps.
Musculature can add a buff of 22% to 30% Buff that bypasses ED, or a boost in damage of 1.08x to 1.12 compared to no alpha, once you take into account all your other buffs and the fun math of buffs vs multipliers.
Adding more AoE, vs the average group of critters can multiply your damage significantly, even divided over time. Making that AoE an immobilize as well as damage, reducing the amount of time you waste chasing runners, can further improve your damage output. It is my opinion that with a typical x8 spawn, this will exceed anything you can gain from a musculature; However, Musculature would apply more to Bosses, EBs, and AVs, if that is your specialty.
The last build you posted has a suppressed ranged defense of only 42.2 withou mindlink or 58 with mind link. It would appear you're aiming for the Incarnate Softcap, If so, you may or may not want that tad more ranged defense. Mids -> Options -> Config -> Math --> Suppression -> Select both Attacked and ActivateAttack
Accolades can do a great deal for your endurance as well, perhaps more than all those bonuses you're putting in so many powers.
It is difficult to create a NW build that doesn't need Cardiac or Ageless, and still meets most other typical desires. The benchmark for successful is also subjective.
The following is for all builds, not just NW:
I typically want a build that can fight non-stop for 3 minutes as a minimum for teaming, and 5 minutes minimum for solo. I prefer 10 minutes. Aka, go pound on a pylon 10 minutes and not run out of endurance.
Then I want an immobilize that does damage, Typically Mu Fences, so I can keep things close for spin.
I want ST dps capable of taking out a pylon in less than 30 minutes. 150+ dps after all buffs and debuffs.
Then I want more damage, typically AoE. Sometimes I prefer more defense, It's nice to have ~52 defense to cushion for a debuff, and to make it easier to cap with small purple candy for Incarnate Content. So far, I've not felt the need to Incarnate Cap any actual live characters. I even changed Alleyne to a more offensive build.
Hmmm, rather nice builds.
My NW's live build has approximately 50% positional defenses during the second or two that Mind Link is down (Mids' suggests that Mind Link should overlap by a couple seconds, but i blame Aracanatime) and around 60% positional defense the rest of the time. i didn't take the Fighting or Medicine or Speed pools, but i did take Jumping and Flight, so my build does go in a bit of a different direction. i will be respeccing sometime soon to replace Build Up with Follow Up and replace Placate with Teleport. Overall it's a build i find fun with decent ST and AoE damage.
This is my build as it is on the live servers at this moment:

Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
Scene_EU:
That's a nice build and I'll probably build off of that fitting in elude where Dark Oblit is, for a small loss with other minor changes.
I have a question though. In poison dart and gloom you have different sets with the same overall theme of 6.25% +recharge, I'm guessing Decimation was chosen over a second Entropic to not waste the +10% regen, right? And the heal in poison dart is nice when it fires but nothing to depend on.
Linea_Alba:
I get what you're saying. I do have an issue getting onto test. I used the char. copy tool about a month ago to figure something out but since then nothing has transferred. I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong.
Otherwise your post was a good read and a lot to consider.
Schismatrix:
It's a nice build. Strangely it says you sit at ~45% without ML and ~61% with ML with MP suppressed?
I'm very interested to know how a widow fairs while hovering I don't have a travel save for the jetpack and sprint and can't stand the booster pack runs so I probably won't be going that route. Thus far, I've been curious as to how well you fair using hover?
Thank you all for your posts.

tbh I put Entropic in to save a bit on cash (the set is quite a lot cheaper than Decimation), although looking at it now putting a 2nd Entropic set into Gloom would break the rule of 5 on the 10% regen (I must have seen that when I was doing my initial build design - been a while now). It's not an overly used attack so the lacking accuracy/damage over Decimation isn't really an issue.
The heal proc is rare at best, but it's a nice bonus when/if it hits and you're short on green insps - again, I only got the proc down to being a skinflint
. OTOH the 10% regen is a nice bonus over Decimations mezz protection. At the end of the day PD is only used (along with Gloom) for runners or pulling. Gloom is actually nice to use on those "half-health" runners as the DoT really chews threw the last part, then just finish off with PD and Blackwand

Ok, well this is my first shot at a Widow build. I have no experience, I have just been doing some studies on the forums for the past few hours. I also have a Fort build if anyone wants to see it. I am planning on doing the double build and switching between the two.
I looked at all suggestions in this thread, and this has some decent AoE and an AoE immob. End shouldn't be an issue. And with the Ageless T4, hasten will most likely be perma. Tell me what you think!

Schismatrix, that's a nice build, and no hasten! I've been working on my NW with the intent to not take Hasten, it looks like perhaps that's a realistic goal. It seems like it should be very possible to get Mind Link perma without Hasten and that's the biggest thing from what I can tell.
I recently came back after a three year break and decided to finish leveling my widow, I got 50 a week ago and have since been lurking the forums for a build to call my own.
Now, for one reason or another I just didn't fall in love with any of the builds going back the last 14-16 months. So I tried my hand at my own with inspiration from various builds I found along the way. While I'm not that strapped for inf I can't quite slot purple yet; when that time comes I'll deal with then.
So this build offers:
- Nearly soft-capped positional defense (49.7 melee, 44.7 ranged, 44.1 aoe)
- Perma Mind-Link pushing the positional defenses above what I think is I-trial softcap (63.8 melee, 58.9 ranged, 58.2 aoe)
- Hasten is not perma but is about 130 second recharge.
- 153.75 +Recharge
- 7 toggles with an end drain of 1.07/sec
- Elude, I just want it. I know, I've seen so many other people/threads say that it is unnecessary or a waste of a power but I'd like to have it.
- Not too expensive
I'm okay with this build, I leveled without heal self but I'm not sure what to drop. I suppose I could drop the whole fighting pool and pick up aid other/self and maybe leadership assault but then all defenses drop ~8%. I'm not sure how I feel about not being softcapped.The build feels like it's missing something. I'm not sure, it feels like there should be something else coming from the build.
Please help?
Thank you.
