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.

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

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

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