I disagree. Pulsar would be worth it if I had another form of stun to stack it with, but this is not a Warshade build with three stackable aoe stuns.
Maneuvers is helping me reach the goal of 32% s/l defense and working toward my other defenses also (e/n for example.) Defense is a much more reliable form of mitigation than a chance for stun on minions (not to mention, Maneuvers offers an lotg global recharge bonus AND is a prerequisite for Vengeance.)
Vengeance isn't going anywhere. It is one of the best powers ever, and also has the benefit of taking an LOTG global recharge IO.
Solar Flare is one of my highest damage attacks, maybe skippable on a tri or bi form build but I wouldn't dream of it on Human Only. -

Will do. Yes, I replaced essence drain with dark detonation and threw a random multi enh IO in it. Great for helping put everything into the corner and hits pretty often.
While it is a bit different, I find that it suits my play style just fine. I ran through an AE mish with my fluffies and could stay in human form the whole time or shift to get through it a bit quicker. The bronze 35-39 reward rolls have snagged me a few IOs that I needed. Still only running at +0x2 until I can pick up and slot a few more IOs.
I sent you a PM. -
Wow, do I look purple and jacked in that picture or WHAT?

You sure may, that's not one that I tried last time. I'll give it a spin later today.

AIB posted a picture of our all Kheldian ITF on the Kheldian board by the way... In the "Kheldian Brag Book" thread.

I, uh... A friend of mine, yeah, sometimes has even been known to fight near teammates that he suspects are on their way to debtsville shortly in order to hop past and venge before running off to do some damage in the next two minutes. The Destroy Shadow Cysts mission in particular is a real vengeance gold mine for my friend. Who is not me.
Your friend doesn't happen to be you by any chance, right?

I just think it's unlikely that they are gonna make LF a clone of Eclipse or find some way to make it recharge faster or not crash or apply to all the forms that doesn't gimp it. Would love to be proven wrong. I'd really settle for just being able to click on Build Up while in tank form myself.
Here's thing thing- It's already gimped. That's what we're trying to get fixed. -
Was a good time.

Quote:I think you're probably in the minority here. Do you not realize that Eclipse also caps resists to all damage in ALL forms with NO negative effects... AND it can be made perma? With the inherent taken into account, my warshade has hardcapped resists with 1 AV as the only eclipse target in dwarf form a lot of the time.Originally Posted by Irresponsible
The recharge ratio on LF is not that bad either since you can get it to being up for 3 minutes while down for around 6 with Hasten even without spending tons of money on an IO build to reduce the recharge time even further.

The only real problem with PBs is merely that Dwarf Form doesn't do quite enough damage at higher levels but I wouldn't want to change that if it means White Dwarfs would have less resistance or slower recharge times or a less effective heal.
Nova isn't as bad because it's safer to drop into HF for Build Up when at range usually.
It's hard to see how changing Light Form by giving a recharge boost to Photon Seekers or some other kind of damage boost when in LF is needed as you are already pretty awesome in LF anyway. The problem also lies in the trade-offs that would have to be made in order to make LF recharge faster. I guess it some kind of ability to switch out of Light Form into Dwarf and Nova with a temporary damage boost could be useful if that's even possible considering the nature of forms and the question of what they'd do about the crash then.

Photon Seekers are a separate issue and apparently one of the main reasons for the damage differential between WS and PB- Dark Extraction is one of the highest damage pets in the game and PS is... Not.
My friend had the idea that PB's should also lose build up in favor of a Rage clone which I think would be a good way to somewhat compensate for lack of Mires while maintaining the PB's self contained nature (Since you are not familiar with the Warshade, Sunless Mire and Black Dwarf Mire can be stacked pretty much all the time to keep us at the 300% damage cap with enough enemies.) -

I am running a slightly modified version of your build and it is fun. So far I have not had any issues at all and I am barely done on slotting IOs. In order not to lose some sets I had I placed them back into the build for now.
Thanks again for the feedback.
Cool, if you have any questions about why I put anything in a certain place, etc. or any other general questions, let me know. Glad you are continuing to enjoy your Warshade.

I would like a server for only people with red hair. One of my characters often gets harassed because of the color of his hair, and it is very sensitive to me since I also happen to have red hair in real life. Everyone who sees my character is obviously aware of this, and that's why they choose to torment me.

Nope, can't agree with that. Changing LF to be like Eclipse would make it nearly useless in a lot of boss or AV fights which is a huge part of this game. There's no point in having two Kheldians AT's if they are gonna be exactly alike. Conversely, if you made LF a Strength of Will clone it would flat out just not provide as much resistance as Eclipse or LF currently. There has to be a better way.
I never said PB's need an Eclipse clone, I just said it was a much worse power. -

Making Light Form crashless, and with much shorter duration and recharge will make it much more useful. Make it so that it can break Mez too, and we have a winner.
This is pretty much how I feel, except I think it should allow for form shifts instead of adding status protection. It definitely needs to be on a shorter recharge, but since it isn't a situational power like Eclipse allowing it to be perma'd would be overpowered imo. -
I think the reason Light Form is complained about is not just because of the crash, but also because of the long recharge it's on and the inability to switch forms while it's running. You realize it is the PB's answer to Eclipse, which can not only cap the Warshade's resistance to all damage with a small amount of enemies but also be made perma with no crash in sight. Eclipse also carries over in forms... Light form just pales in comparison.

I've made a small change to one of the AT tf's due to problems with certain people being unable to make it due to alignment. The all kheld Numina TF is now an all Kheld ITF, and the Numina has been moved down to 9:00pm Sunday. The new theme for Numina is "Squishy," so any non-melee AT (or, in the case of VEATs, powersets) is welcome to join.
Sorry for anyone inconvienced by this change.
Am I "certain people?"
The all Kheldian ITF we did tonight was a blast! This one should be equally fun. -

So I was tooling around on my warshade, and I got to thinking: is it possible to softcap a kheldian's defenses? I haven't seen much talk about it.
Perhaps the better question is, is it feasible? Would I need purple or pvp IOs or can standard set bonuses get me up there - preferably without gimping my offense?
I recently posted a tri form perma eclipsed build that was softcapped to s/l defense. It is a fully functional build, but not something I'd call ideal.

If they made it so that you could get Weave without Boxing or Kick, they might as well reduce the fighting pool to just Tough and Weave.
Some of my builds like boxing for a kinetic combat set. Boxing/kick can also be useful while leveling up to fill out your attack chain early. -

If it's taking you so long to kill things that your teammates are getting killed.....well, I don't think that counts as doing it right.
:| It doesn't matter how long it takes me to kill things. Maybe if Dwarf form had a taunt aura it would be a different story, but I can't control it if Joe FA Scrapper or bubbler man end up with some aggro.
I'm playing MY Warshade, and he's crazy effective. I might be able to take all the aggro, but that doesn't mean I sit around firing off taunt all the time. Vengeance is used very often because not many other AT's can stay alive in the same situations that my Warshade can.Quote:Originally Posted by RaikenX
Then you're not playing a MFing Warshade.
I've never before encountered the attitude of "If you use vengeance a lot you're not doing it right."
Shouldn't it be more like "If people use Vengeance on YOU a lot, you're not doing it right?" -
Quote:I like to team and solo, I'll certainly be spending a lot of time on Incarnate trials with my PB once he dings at 50 and I get his build slotted but I'm not comfortable relying on my inherent for resistance. It would be like not building Perma Eclipse on my Warshade for the same reason, just not a thought I'm comfortable with.Originally Posted by Big_Soto
Do you mainly team or solo? The reason I am asking is because When I am on a team the cosmic balance usually gives a buff toward the resistance and Tough is not needed; however it is a gamble because you never know what the team make up is going to be. If you are not a gambling man then Tough is not a bad choice. If I am in a situation that needs me to have more resist, then I just jump into light form.
Can you post the data chunk so I can take a better look when I get off work?
I wish Light Form was something I could rely on too as then I would be able to softcap s/l/e/n defense but unfortunately it is on a very long timer and I can't always count on it being up when needed- It's more like an extra bonus. I've even considered dropping it in favor of self rez.
