Tri Form PB Help

Have my PB up to lvl 25, will be doing a respec sometime this weekend, and have some questions.

I'm going tri-form to maximise the PB's versatility in teams. I'm finding that I'm mainly using Nova, but occasionally switching to Dwarf if things get hairy, or I don't have room to blast from height if I get caught in a melee battle.

My questions are thus:

Is Hasten the only "human" pool power that transfers to the forms?

The inherent flight of Nova is a little slow for my liking, and at the moment I've got it slotted for flight speed. Is there a better (and more slot efficient) way of improving travel? (I was thinking going Super Speed, seeing as I'm taking hasten - also taking Hurdle to help vertical travel. I realise going this method would mean using human form, but I'm not bothered about form - just quickest and easiest way of getting there!)

Slotting wise, I'm aiming for 3 dmg res and 1 or 2 end mods on Dwarf, with 1 acc and 1 dmg in each attack and 2 end mods, and 1 acc buff for Nova then 1 acc and 2 dmgs for the attacks.. possibly an additional recharge in all but BN Bolt where I'll put another dmg.

Powers wise I was thinking of the following:
1 - Glinting Eye
1 - Incandescence
2 - Gleaming Blast
4 - Essence Boost
6 - Bright Nova
8 - Radiant Strike
10- Hasten
12- Build Up
14- Super Speed
16- Shining Shield
18- Incandescent Strike
20- White Dwarf
22- Reform Essence
24- Conserve Energy
26- Pulsar

Comments / suggestions welcome!

seems ok to me mate if you want tri-form. the jury is still out a bit on pulsar, personally i'd take solar flare there instead.

slotting, i'd stick 3dam res 3end mod in dwarf and 3toHit 3EndMod in nova. all nova attacks i'd slot up first if you're using it as a main damage power, starting with the AoEs. from what u say u'r only using dwarf in bad situations, so maybe slotting the heal and flare first there.

with the toHit enhances in nova form itself you wont need the accuracies. my ws had 3*tohit in nova and rarely missed.

any 'clicky' power will carry over into your forms if used in human.. so that's hasten, build up and essence boost so far for you.

basically any power where you click it, and then it starts recharging, but the power is still working on you. toggles and auto-powers don't transfer.

hope this helps =D

Yeah that pretty much answers my questions m8, thanks. I think what I was really asking was "Would SS transfer over to Nova" and because its a toggle, rather than a clicky - it won't (I already use human to EB and Hasten before switching to forms, and with combat flight and a bind, I do it mid mish too [img]/uk/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

Of course it only requires me to say in conclusion...

FULL FORCE!!!!

Couple of points. If you are using Nova mostly, I would go 3 dmg in the AoEs and slot the single target attacks only if you have spare slots. The general consensus is three To Hit enh in Nova will let you take on +1's and maybe +2's but for anything higher you need acc in the attacks themselves. Endmod in the forms (both dwarf and nova) give some benefit but it's usually far more efficient to slot the attacks (the heavy users such as dwarf Flare and the Nova AoE) with endred.
