Ok, I tried to remain the nicer kinder Obsidian but Mr. Hyde crept back out again, because to me this questions is like asking what is the smartest one cell organism, their all dumb as dirt and it's my natural reaction to say so. If given the choice at the level you have to pick one of the powers in the example I would pick Hasten as it opens up as well.

If their asking the question I'll give the answer I feel to be the most benificial to them and phrase it so they remember it, even if they dislike my "format".

The temptation to pick apart your post for proof my beliefs on Kheld building are correct is "almost" too much, but on this single part I totaly agree.

Actually, yes it will help keep you alive, you keep saying that I believe superior numbers alone are whats important and I never have. My ONLY arguement is that superior numbers will always help your survival no matter how good or badly you play. And how anyone can seriously argue this is beyond me.

If your damage goes up 5% your blasting better. Your not trying to blast harder, you ARE.

If your ressists go up 10% your not trying to take less damage you ARE taking less.

If your playing crappy your STILL taking less damage and hitting harder, If your playing GREAT your still hitting harder and taking less damage.

This brings back memories of a discussion I had with LX. Good times, good times...

Depending on your difficulty setting it could very well be overkill or also not quite enough to 2 shot the whole bunch. And Quasar and other quasi-nukes are on a long timer even on the highest end recharge builds so I rarely include them as part of attack chains.

I'll fully admit that first spawn will take a bit longer than it might for a human build, but once a squid form is buffed it can rip through a couple more spawns at least before having to do the whole squid dance thing again.

Not to dispute (aww heck who am I trying to kid) but it's both a higher damage scaler and a 45% bonus damage, and with Eclipse there is little if any survivability decline, outside of having to drop to human form to fire Stygian (and most of the time with a good Eclipse you don't even need to heal)

I believe Castles stated reason was you can cap ressists in human form using Eclipse and *if* human form had status ressistance there would be no use for Dwarf Form, and to be honest if status ressist was added I would most likely end up dropping dwarf, I would lose the ability to tank but I could pick up the Presence pool taunt and most likely do well enough in non-AV scenerios.

I have to yeild ground on this one...perhaps you all need to scream and cry as much as the PVp'ers did to get the attention, but then again look what it did for them. Are you SURE you want anything changed?

But the stone tank vs dwarf form question still remains and I am waiting for anyone to answer this.

Alright, fair enough (Ignoring the whole arrogant "disproved you again" jab, and not going into the whole "to disprove you actually need verifiable proof" thing.) but this leaves me in somewhat of an impossible situation.

As such, to prove you wrong I need to show proof, something quantifiable that can be evaluated by everyone, and each and everytime I have attempted to do so you have thrown out without any stated reason why, any statistics that might prove you wrong.

Each time I have attempted to make a point either with or without using statistics you have ignored any points made, not just their accuracy but avoided responding to them in any way at all.

This makes it impossible to do anything at all but agree with whatever your saying because anything else will simply be ignored, trivialized or thrown out with a anecdotal story that does nothing but waylay people from the point I was just attempting to make.

If you make any claims at all in a public forum you have to be willing and able to back them up, and be willing to admit when you cannot (and I'm not refering to this thread, this was for me just an attempt to break your cool teflon attitude).

You "Seem" to reguard yourself as one of the top human only build players and I will not dispute that, I will not even make a claim to be one of the best Tri-Formers, but I dare say I have as much experience on my tri as you do with your human only, I run the numbers relentlessly and spend the majority of my playtime on my Kheld. I have also played a WS up to 40 using human only and to suggest I do not know what I am talking about in reguards to damage taken and delivered and the various styles used and what works best for each seems not just arrogant but obtuse.

You do not want Tri-Formers to be the "one ring to rule them all" I get that, but I also get that "most" players are interested in whatever build will work best in " the most" situations and I intend to make sure they get that information no matter what it might be, even if it is Human form only, and I will doggedly track down the statistics and numbers and do the in the field tests to make sure i'm not just throwing stuff out there.

Your not allowed to agree with me it destroys the natural Arch-Nemesis thing.

Please stop messing with the natural order of my universe.

Most hatefully yours:
Obsidian Force, Kheldian/Earth Ambassador of Peace and War.

And revisions for a small subgroup of a small percentage of players isn't actually adding anything to the game either, and I do believe they are earning their living quite nicely.

Heh actually I am relaxed and having fun. And I do have alot of speculation about you, most unrelated to CoH or games. out to attack you personaly? Not overly, but I won't pass up a chance to take a shot when I think your wrong, and hugely so. which seems to be often.

Oh and Jeez man your taking this sooo seriously. Maybe you need to relax and step back a little.
