Right, i got to lvl13 with my WS and tbh i have no idea what i'm doing I had my mind set on a tri-form WS but i'm really finding it hard to create the perfect build, If anybody with experience in the WS area could please give me advice or any builds then i would be very grateful. I was thinking of a build like this-

That does look a solid build, the only comment i would make is as a triform and the kheldy sets soooo large you might wanna focus more on some of your own powers rather then going into the health pool as the bonuses don't carry through to the other forms.

Oh and just saw, personal choice, but i put a recharge in my Dwarf's antagonize rather then an accuracy, in case someone is in trouble and I've already dropped it. Every second helps lol.

But other then that, i think you've got a really good build. Only got a 21 WS myself, so maybe someone will point out something i missed or go wrong.

Gd luck and enjoy your squidy

Thanks for the advice, every bit helps Took me an age to get that build, i was searching on some of the guides etc.. and stumbled across the "warshade tri-form guide for i6" which i must say was a huge help

If you are looking for a Guide, I can only offer one in German.

If you are looking for a build, try this link to the German forums.

Nova is maxed for Blasting on Dwarf Mire - Eclipse - Mire.
Dwarf ist maxed for tanking.
Without Mires, the Nova has the two single target attacks slotted for max. DPS.
And the Human is mostly for eclipse, drawing pets and Booming.
Also, you are an advanced stealther that can greatly help teams on TFs.

Hope that helps!

With Stygian Circle, Stamina isn't really needed.. Health can still be useful with Inky Aspect, but I didn't see that in your build at all, so I'd say Health isn't really needed either.. Also, unless you tend to die alot, I'd take Quasar at 35 and Stygian Return at 41..

ok cheers, havent really changed much, just a few slots. Thanks for the help guys, i am going to keep stamina though simply because i cant really see anything else i would get (I dont like the look of inky aspect) and its nice to have a safety net with endurance.

Instead of using EndRdx in Nova and Dwarf try using EndMod's, they seem to help more in my opinion.
I don't have Health or Stamina in my Tri-Form build as they don't carry over to the forms.
I spend most of my time in either of the 2 forms only using human form to Mire, Stygian Circle and extracting purple fluffy death clouds
