Is this the live build or a planned one?
More like WTF are you trying to achieve with this build? Widows play like scrappers (specifically like claws/SR), so keep that in mind when planning.
Power picks:
Skip poison dart - if you really want a ranged attack, choose mental blast.
You will need swipe for a flowing single-target attack chain.
Medicine pool is garbage, tough+weave has better value.
You shouldn't need elude.
You won't be using gloom.
Slotting:
Use Mako's and touch of death in melee attacks for defense bonuses, not as much ToD since combat training already gives quite a bit of melee def.
Slotting just 5 IO's from a purple damage set is more cost effective since the bonus from the 6th is mostly unneeded.
Defense powers need at least 3 slots - you want at least 45% total defense to all positions.

This is the current one and I like the archetype, just not the current slotting. The tion seems to hold its own so far but I know it is very lacking so I decided it needed to be overhauled. I like playing it more on the attack first and kill often theory within in a respectable amount of inf spent on it. I only get to play a little bit at a time as it is. Miss really made me cringe looking at the build so I figured it was time to look for help.
I will have a go at it tonite.
As such, I am presenting another Night Widow build for people to pick apart. This is as best as I could remember of it since I'm posting from work. I've ended up really like the archetype and have finally started getting into really taking on the incarnate stuff. This toon seems to flow a lot better for me when I do get to play. Thoughts? Critiques? Some "WTF are you slotting like this for" comments?
