Did you also try bringing Shivans?

And if a shivan isn't enough.... bring a warburg nuke or three*! :P

But, yeah, GW is rather tough solo... -acc, holds, and self heals on an EB/AV makes things difficult...

*Edit: in addition to the Shivan.

I'd recommend keeping 3-4 lucks running rather then breakfrees

Its better a Mag 100 hold misses than you try to get out of it.

Yep, I'd go crazy with purple insps as well.

And floor the difficulty to -1 as well, she'll miss more then as well (number of heroes you're equiv to is up to you, might be handy setting it to 2 or 3, just for feeding Fulc Shift).

GW is darn tough to beat solo (even as an EB), and I have some characters that are darn proud of having done it.

Breakfrees are indeed worthless. If her hold hits you, you aren't getting free. Bring a pile of lucks, and keep 3-4 active all time time. If they do their job, the hold will miss.

Now, if your damage isn't getting to her even as a /Son, then you may be in trouble regardless.

The other advice shared (get Shivans, dropping level, etc.) may be the way to go. Or, faster, find a partner to help. Nothing wrong with ganging up on her.

This is how I did it with my Ice/Ice Blaster. She managed to put me in that nasty hold but none of her other attacks landed while I waited for it to pass.

PK would say don't attempt it? Trying to beat ghost widow solo is what "permanently killed" The Philotic Knight on Protector server in the Mission Architect mission I wrote, The Death of the Philotic Knight.

This reminded me of a quote from A Knight's Tale...I've revised it to fit the OP.

OP: And how would you beat GW?
Clouded: With a stick. While she slept. But in a mission, solo against your defender? That wench is unbeatable.
