Warshade Problem

Might sound stupid but is there a power I can get with a warshade that stops being held etc and knockbacks that isnt Jump pool power?

Yep Dwarf is the only real way and that will stop all holds knockback etc, the cloak gives you alittle imob defence. Other than that like you said the leaping pool power is the only way, but with an AT that has so many powers is there space for it in the build, I came from a scrapper and the wonderfull world of intergration to a PB and WS at first i was dead set on having leaping but as i lvled i have found there is just no space for it Unless you try to go without stamina and I really don't know if you would get away with it, maybe on a warshade but def not on a peacebringer

Well stamina is a must so unless theres something else i can get rid of well 3 things i can get rid of im buggerd apart from spending all day in Dwarf... You'd think they'd have made a shield for this sort of thing.

Why? Not all ATs come with mez protection, in fact most don't. Both Kheldian ATs have very good protection in dwarf form, which is a lot better than most other toons running about have got.

Nope, once you hit 38 and get Eclipse any kind of Mez protection would be hugely overpowered. Admittedly not as overpowered as pre-ED, but still overpowered. Of course, Warshades tend to suffer more than Peacebringers as so many of their powers require you to be in the middle of the action, but that's the price you pay for the Archetype I'm afraid.

Your options are Acrobatics, Dwarf Form or teaming with 2+ controllers. Acrobatics is remarkably useful for 3 reasons. 1) It protects against knockback, 2) It protects against Holds 3) It requires you to take Superjump &amp; Combat Jumping which only need a single slot each (Which is a godsend for a Kheldian) *and* since they nerfed Nebulous Form into uselessness, Superjump is a handy alternate travel power to Teleport.

also warshades get stygian circle at 24 which gives endurance and health back so its theoretical that you could go without stamina. still be a real dog tping around though without stam

That is why you'd think they'd give you a shield for it since just about every other hero u get with a shield gets it and as stated you do have to be in the thick of it which is hard to do when you get thrown back out lol.

I did try it without stamina but with shields etc up and using powers it took too much sometimes if I missed to defeat a foe and then ran out of end.

Well thanks for the help anyway people guess I've got 2 choices aye.

My WS doesn't have stamina and I just TP along until the end gets low, pop into squid form to recover end and then TP the rest of the way .

I dropped stamina on my PB and don't really miss it.

if you go human-only or mainly human, then stamina is good to have.. if you go multiform, stamina isnt really necessary. If it IS, you really gotta check your slots/playstyle.

Spad kinda hit the spot with his remark being overpowered. Eclipse + mez protection = unstoppable killing machine. It will have tanklike protection, and higher damage + ranged attacks. On top of that, eclipse doesnt have a drawback as soon as it runs out.

As stated, if you go multiform, drop stamina and get acrobatics instead if its such a big issue. Or, just use dwarf against mez-heavy enemies. Personally, on the whole trip to 50, even against malta and rikti i didnt find the lack of mez protection in human/nova form that bothersome.

Peacebringers mostly in human form may need it but being Tri-former the fitness pool would be a waste of 3 good powers.


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
