Any of you made the switch?

From tri-form to human only after i13? I'm contemplating switching to human only on my warshade after 4+ years of tri-form goodness. I tried using my second build as a human only variant, but it was too discouraging to lose my many set bonuses. So I am thinking of taking the plunge and respecing my primary build into human only and am wondering how the i13 changes impact playability (ie range/damage boosts, no more toggle drops on mez, etc.) Right now my forms have ALL their powers 6 slotted and only 2 human form powers have anything other than the base slot.

I actually went from tri-form to Nova/Tank, with human only for buffing.

I've played around with human-only WS since then, but honestly it feels like a much less smooth version of my crab spider. The corpse targeting for Dark Extraction and Unchained Essence is still a major pain and having to mix position conflicting powers like a cone stun and with a PBAoE stun toggle is overly awkward compared to just using Frag Grenade, Omega Maneuver, or Wide Area Web Grenade individually.

It's a lot more soloable and workable overall now, but there is still much to be desired, such as orbiting death's endurance cost being insane and the damage being lower than a dark tanker's Death Shroud.

Still a Tri-Form, but I spend a LOT more time in human form now, especially solo. On teams what form I take depends a LOT on team-makup.

Honestly? A better way to answer your question would be that, before i13, I was actually a dual-form nova/dwarf and i13 is what made me a true tri-former.

I played my latest 50 Peacebringer as a primarily human (dual build - other build was triform) around that time, from... pretty sure high-20s to low-30s all the way through 50.

It was certainly *different.* Still far less annoying than dealing with the VEATs to me, IMHO.

I love VEATS.

I tried all human and had some fun for two weeks. I found it to be much more survivable than I expected. But I missed the ranged aoes of nova and the aggro control/mez protection of dwarf so I switched back to tri-form for good.

I actually went from all-human to a triform build. My PB was stuck at 30 for several weeks, until I respecced him to Triform, and now he's at level 50. I loves.

For whatever reason, I've never been inclined to make a tri-form. Every Kheldian I can think of has been either type of bi-form or just human. Guess that's just me. =P

Why isn't Symbiote. on your list?!

Do the best of both worlds: using your second build option do a different variation on your Kheldian

I dont know why anyone would NOT take Nova form!? I was recently on a Positron TF, we had 2 defenders and a tank, but no blaster. Someone on the team commented "We dont need a blaster we have a PB with Nova" That sums up how great that power is. Considering that it is only a single power why would you NOT take it?

I have a human only peacebringer and love it. He was my fastest 50. I would have a human only warshade if they would give fly to warshades otherwise im forced to have that squid form. Human only is a blast.

only recently made either PB or WS, but have more enjoyed the WS in early levels and figure that, following my experience with squidness on PB, I'll go human/dwarf only on the WS.

blasterishness as a cute lil girlform, tankishness when needed...that would make it a "blank" build, right? lol

blaster/tank...blank...get it?

I use human form as a primary on my 50 PB. Need to respec out of Nova which was very helpful in the lower levels but I simply have no need for it now. She is a complete joy to use.

Now my WS I went with Tri-Form and absolutely love it.

I could never "connect" with Human-form only. I'm guessing that's because I actually like the Forms and the sense of danger that comes from shifting, and also because quite frankly, I dislike shields.

All my Khelds are tri-form, but I've actually been considering using the dual builds to make a bi-form Kheld lately. I'm just imagining that a Human / Dwarf Shade or a Human / Nova PB would be pretty fun to play on teams.
