I just came back to the game and need some advices

Hi, I played CoH 2 years ago and only for about two months. I had leveled a blaster to 35 and wanted to play WS and PB so bad but stopped playing before I reached 50. Now I just came back to the game and leveled my blaster to 50 and now I have a 45 PB and a level 15 WS. I think I prefer my WS even if it's lower atm.

The thing is that in 2 years a lot has changed in the game and not that I knew everything before (Yes, I'm a bit noobish concerning info). So I come here everyday while at work to get some info about building Khelds. BTW thanks for all the active posters you guys help me alot.

But the thing is now I'm close to 50 with my PB but my enh are all normal enh no sets and stuff like that. I don't really know the sets and all but I'm looking to socket my PB and prepare for a good build for my WS. both of them are intended to be tri-form.

Since I was back only recently you could guess I don't really have a lot of influence. So Could any of you more experienced guys show me a good build I could use for both WS and PB at 50 and a good decent slothing sets for them ?

Here's a TriFormPB build that I think should be fun to play. The emphasis is on functionality from Dwarf/Nova and using Human-form to buff and heal yourself in between shifting forms.

It matches my crazy form-shifting playstyle, but a some people will not like the lack of shields or Lightform...

Thanks LordXenite could you also suggest a nice WS tri-form build?

Nice??? No, because Warshades, especially TriFormShade(s)™ aren't nice... they're nasty!

Thanks alot, Yeah I can't wait to taste the beastly power

I'm still at work, having nothing to do I'm wondering about macros. I saw a few in previous posts but I realize I don't even know where to enter them.

The most important thing for me would be when I switch forms I'd like my action bar to change automaticly and also have a button to swithc my forms I guess.

I'm using a g15 keyboard and completly forgot to check if they have premade macros for the game.

On the binds topic there is a thread near the top of this section of the forum where I have hopefully explained the bind files I use and how to work them.

I have however heard of people using g15's, so they should work.

Thanks a lot once again

I played my WS this weekend and got from 14 to 26 and I think its the most fun I had in CoH. I love the aoe combinations and stygian circle omg this power is so useful. When I started my PB I loved it a lot more than my blaster but now my WS feels soo good. I love the fact that there is almost no downtime.

Thanks for the guide even though ill probably have to respec in a little while for the enh slots.
