I have tried playing widows in the past but could not get past lvl 10 with them before I get distracted with another build. I have altitis in a bad way, but I want to see this on through.

I was wanting to go for a Fortunata build that used both the dart attacks and psychic powers. I also wanted it to be a long range fighter. I tried to fit Aim in there but could not find room, it was either that or give up vengence.

In Mids, mind link would not take recharge ios so I had to use IO sets to get it down. I am not sure if that will also work in the game if the power is not meant to accept recharge reductions, but according to Mids I got it to perma.


Thank you in advance for looking this over.

Since nobody else has replied, I will.

First of all, you're taking too many attacks. Some versatility is nice, but at 50, there is no way you'll use all of those in an attack chain, and I dare say that half of them will go to waste.

Secondly, you're missing one of the big perks of taking a SoA, and that's double-stacking leadership. It's a little end-heavy, but the benefits of double-stacked leadership cannot be overstated. If and when you drop some of those attacks, rotate in the leadership power pool. Your team will thank you, and you'll notice a major boost to your abilities.

Finally, you're correct about mind link not taking Recharge enhancements. You need to use set IOs with recharge components, and they DO apply to mindlink. If you can get it perma, great. However, with double-stacked maneuvers on top of your other defenses and bonuses, you should be well past the soft cap anyway.

Dame Silverwing (50 Kat/SR Scrapper) Virtue
Professor Bikini (50 Bots/Dark MM) Virtue
Dame Silver Fury (41 Peacebringer) Virtue
Operative Velvet (50 Fortunata) Virtue
Petal Dancer (35 Plant/Kin Contoller) Virtue
Tanegashima (Rapidly levelling DP/Ice Blaster) Virtue
(and more)

just wanted to add a note on this about mind link

membrane HOs do NOT work to reduce the rech, you MUST use IOs which have rech components to enhance the rech (for example LOTG: def/end/rech will enhance the rech on mind link)
