Now here is the crux. I have no idea how to slot it. I have an inkling when it comes to the human-form powers since those are sort of similar to other ATs, though any advice there would be appreciated. At the moment I'm dreading leveling up vbecause I just know that I will screw up the slots.
But what really puzzels me is the Squid and Dwarf forms. Now have I understood correctly that the slots in a form (like Dark Nova) also affects the powers in that form? Like the tohitbuffs in Nova will make all the Nova attacks hit better?
Also you you can slot the Nova with both EndMod and EndRed. Now since the form itself doesn't seem to drain end I'm not sure I understand what the EndMod and EndRed's does. If i slot it with EndRed's will that decrease the amount of end the nova attacks does and if so what does the EndMod do then?
Can someone help me straighten these things out?

First off if u havn't read this you should (Jiaozy's build is pretty useful as well)

The end mods act like a mini stamina on the nova as endurance recovers more quickly. The end reds just reduce the amount of endurance used in the form.
First of; yes i've read it and others but none of them was very clear on how slotting forms work.
What I don't understand is exactly how the slotting of the form affects the forms powers. For example, the EndReds reduce the amount of endurance used in the form. So if I slot Nova with 3 EndRed and it hypothetical cut the endurance use in half. Does that mean that the four attack powers Nova has also have had their endurance use cut in half?
No, the form itself is a toggle which uses endurance, but also regenerates endurance at the same (or very slightly faster) rate.
Slotting forms for endrec is usually not considered all that effective.
Accuracy (which does affect all your attacks) and Fly speed are good to slot in nova. Resistance in dwarf.
I really should do something about this signature.

Do you mean EndMod? If so, I find it quite useful (more so than Fly). And yes, slotting ThT_Buffs also helps with your attacks.

You can slot endrec and endmod, for about the same benefit (i think endmod is slightly better, but 2 endmod 1 endrec is better than 3 endmod post ED).
It might be worthwhile if you are a forms keldian, but if you intend to use human form you probably havn't got the slots to spare.

Here's the build i'm planing to make or rather it's the one i made while playing around with builder and after reading the guides on the forums. First off, I'm want to make it a "Pure" Warshade. That is I'm only going to take powers from the primary and secondary. (Provided I can live without stamina.)
It's a tri-form btw.
