How about this. Don't assume anyone is or is not a woman. Assume they are a person and treat them the same way you (male or female, still a person) would prefer to be treated. Beleive it or not, people love this sort of thing either on teams or in zonewide or global channels. Or in real life. Crazy stuff, I know, but it is true.

Oh no, you gotta remember this would be my secondary build. The way I like playing it is human form. It's not about being too lazy to do the forms, i've tried all the binds on my triform build. It comes in handy when the team doesn't have a tank too. It's just that for a variety of reasons, I prefer my ws to be human form. This is just a dream build that may one day come about if I really play my ws that much. Otherwise I would probably stick to something much more situational with the dwarf and nova forms slotted to their more obvious uses (tanking and blasting) with the more important human form powers included in the slotting. The frankenslotting is much more of a blue sky type deal.

For right now it is cool to run it human form and hit my mire-eclipse-quasar on the first mob of an instance, get all my toggles back up after a hasten, unchain the next big group of enemies after mire comes up, etc. It works out where over half the time I can mire-quasar/unchain and a good amount of those times I am either mid-eclipse or hitting a new one. Once I get the timing down a little better I think i will be able to do about a 2/3 ratio as far as my big aoes go. On the down spawns, it's not like standing in the middle of the mob with OD and Inky running with the fuzzies blasting away and me throwing in what I can doesn't do enough. At 43 I can handle jumping into +2-3 level mobs and decimate everything but the bosses on an 8 person team, so I can't be doing too bad.

Put this together on Mids. I guess as dream builds go this would be it. Had 105% haste rating, so not quite perma hasten.

It's more about the amount of inf I would have to pour into the triform build to make it viable. I can learn to master the binds and switches and all of that if it's worth the effort. I'm just not that built up inf-wise on my 50s that it would take a short amount of time to get the inf together to really put the +rech into the triform. Plus, I just don't like the way the squid looks. I will probably end up speccing into something triform that works towards the big damage build even though I don't intend to farm all that much. Just seems to me what the at was meant to be, and it would be nice for joining door mish teams and helping friends out by doing big damage. Plus, who doesn't like feeling like you can take on the world now and then? As it is, I enjoy playing the human form and may end up playing with it enough to build up the inf to make the build work, so why not? Thanks for all the input so far.

I have been building a WS for a little bit now with a dual build of human only and triform. My human build seems to be working pretty good, I can jump into a group of +2 enemies (at level 41) and do a mire/eclipse/quasar combo that wipes out all but one or 2. My triform build, on the other hand is messy. I had planned it out, but this was before I really understood how the human form powers worked. Wanted some critiques on my adjusted triform build. Keep in mind this probably wouldn't be put into use until around 47-50ish due to the excessive amount of slotting that the build needs to work well.

I based this off of several things.

1. In human form I will have dwarf mire already in effect, and possibly the human form mire.

2. I won't be using hasten much, but I can use it in downtime between fights to get recharges done on the big human form powers a bit faster. Not sure if this is a good idea or not.

3. I won't be spending a ton of time in dwarf form unless there is no tanker. Hence the mire/taunt heavy slotting.

4. The point of this build is to go into nova form with mire/eclipse up and blast away. Lots of slots put into nova powres at the expense of some otherwise useful things I oculd put them into.

5. With time and inf, I could use a lot of the powers with defense enhancement allowances to put Luck of the Gambler enhances in place of the end reducers. Would help the aoes in human form a lot.

The last 3 powers I wasn't sure on. Couldn't come up with great ideas on other pools because I figure since I will be spending most of my time in forms most of the toggle-based stuff would be silly. Dunno if there are better options out there. If I missed something improtant anywhere, let me know before I respec it.
