Arachnia Night Warrior/Wind Build

Arachnia! My spider-themed character! Love her concept! Love her outfit! Haven't found a build I like for her yet. :/

Looking at the wind powers, I thought they gave a bit of a webbing look to them. Out of the powers I selected, twister is the biggest stretch, but I wanted a hold.

Been trying to find a good mix of melee and "webbing" attacks, with the idea she has clawed fingers (Think a combo of Spidey & Black Cat...though Arachnia isn't a homage of either). I think I may have to suffer with just Beastial Fury. Would have liked to have kept Pounce in the build as well, but only so many powers I can select!

This is the build I have so far. Haven't even been able to decide between Acrobatics/Flight/Swinging (though I have Swinging/Acro in the build).

INT Primary Superstat is me under the impression it will help the stealth of NW actually be stealthy for me. Would be nice to have enemies not see me so easily. So INT enhances DEX's Stealth. Also a bit more CRIT. CON is for survival.

Thoughts on the build? Changes you see that I may not have considered? I had thought of going EGO/DEX/CON and DEX/EGO/CON.

    Hmm.

    I will mention that on my wind character, I find Wind Reverberation to be a really underwhelming energy unlock.

    Nothing really clearly sticks out for your present character though as clearly superior - you don't have that many cooldowns... and while I'd ordinarily suggest moving something for Force Geyser / MSA, since you do have conviction too for a short coolodown... but that's not really "webbing" so I'm not sure that's in your theme.

    Whirlwind might be enough for Overdrive, I guess. I'm assuming you're talenting/gearing for REC and or END, since Typhoon's pretty hefty in energy cost.

    I have noticed Typhoon to be heavy on the END, it has me wondering if I should be using a different Primary instead of INT
