Overview

Characters with Widow Training begin their careers as Blood Widows. Blood Widow

characters begin with modest melee, ranged and buff skills. Beginning at level

24, they may choose to switch to the "Fortunata" path or remain on the "Widow"

path and become "Night Widows." Night Widows gain considerably stronger melee

capabilities, and only have modest ranged abilities, whiel those who go with the

Fortunate path learn stronger ranged attack abilities and control abilities.

Arachnos Widows, along with Arachnos Soldiers, are one of the two Epic

Archetypes for Villains, only available to players who have reached Level 50

with at least one Villain. All Arachnos Widows are of Natural origin.

Alignment: Villain

The Arachnos Widows's powersets are:

Primary: Training
Secondary: Teamwork

The Arachnos Widow has medium Hit Points and does medium damage.

Career Tracks

Initially, the Arachnos Widow only has access to one primary and one secondary

powerset. At level 24, the other two of each become available and the character

is required to Respec. At that time, all six of the

Arachnos Widow's powersets will be available. However, once a power from the

Night Widow or Fortunata tracks is selected, the other track's powersets become

unavailable.

Career track selection is not permanenet, however. A Respec will allow an

Arachnos Widow to select from the other track instead if she so desires.
