I'm not an expert on Forts, but generally:

A) You seem to be missing KB protection.  I'd swap out Freebird in Mystic Flight for a Blessing of the Zephyr -KB.  Then slot a Celerity Stealth in Sprint to get your half stealth.  Hover shortens knockback, but a Zephyr will negate 90% of all kb in the game.  

 

B) Combat Training Offensive is pretty bad.  Especially with full IOs, TT:Leadership (fully slotted) and a Kismet.  In most situatuons you're going to have more than enough accuracy.  You can grab Aim instead and drop a Gaussians BU in there to beef up you nuke.  

 

C) Look into Expedient Reinforcement set for the pet.  It has a recharge bonus at 4 slots, a range defense bonus at 6 and an aura to give your pet 10% res to all.  Also, gives you maxed recharge to help up time on the pet because its nowhere near permanent out of the box.  

 

D) I'd swap combat jumping for maneuvers from the leadership pool.  You should have the endurance to run it, the defense bonus is the same, but the extra 5ish% can also help the team and your widow pet/lore pets.

Widows have KB protection. You're thinking of Arachnos Soldiers.

Do they?  What power is that in?  When I had my Fort on live, I remember taking Acrobatics.

I'm not seeing any protection listed on any of their powers.   You are right about Soldiers, I know for a fact that they don't have kb protection.

Says right on the wiki

"Indomitable Will

When you toggle on this power, it grants protection from Sleep, Disorient, Fear, Immobilization, Confusions, Repel, Knockback, and Hold effects. Indomitable Will also grants a moderate defense to Psionic based attacks."

According to the wiki, this class doesn't have access to the epic pools: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Ancillary_Power_Pools

 

Might want to figure out something else to fill in for those.

 

 

"Something else" like patron pools, which, while similar to ancillary/"epic" pools, are not in fact the same thing and are very much something Widows (and Arachnos Soldiers) have access to?

 

https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Patron_Power_Pools

 

Because that's what this build is using....

Formerly of Virtue, now on Excelsior:

Ace of Spades Adamant Eve | Arch-Rival | Armageddo The BeBlackbelt Citizen Arcane Core | Ctrl Alt Defeat | Daddy Longlegs Diamant | Doctor Roswell Drop Dead Gorgeous Galactrix Great White Shark

Heavy Machinery Highway Star The Howl Inter-GalacticaIon Maiden Knockout Artist Krakatoa The Night's Templar The Pact | Paroled McDonald Sentinelle Virtual Boy Volcaniac White Widow Yucatan

And my most recent 50, The Mother of Invention (Robotics/Traps mastermind, 9 December 2024)

Sorry. I thought the build was using an ancillary pool, because that was what it said in the post. My bad.

Ancillary Pool: Soul Mastery

What are you trying for with this build you won’t kill anything and will likely faceplate like crazy if you try to solo plus 4s.

 

Forts are now much better due to proc changes.  

 

Procs go into Domiate, TK blast, wail, and the tornado that does KB.  Forget mental blast and scream they suck.  I also think the AOE hold is worthless to. 

 

Go with elec pool and take AoE immobilize and proc it out to.  Ball lighting can use 5 posi and another damage proc.

 

Personally I like tough, weave and aid self.  You need them for when the lucky hits get through.  Preventative medicine proc is your friend.  I 6 slot aid self with the set.  

 

I used to use something similar to your build and found it frustrating to solo.  Now I feel like a beast.  I been tinkering with proc monsters I have like 10 level 50s and find the fort the most fun and one of the most powerful to.
