Warshade IO Build

Posted

I've never played a WS before today, and figured I should go ahead and start trying to figure them out. I made a Human form build for it. (Took Black Dwarf but I'll probably rarely use it for anything but goofing off.) Any suggestions for tips/suggestions greatly appreciated.

First thing: That black/purple looks awful on the blue background

Secondly I have looked at the build and have a few comments:

Powers I wouldn't take -
Nebulous Form has a very long cast time so isn't a good in combat power, and I would get Super Jump if you wanted a travel power.
Essence Drain is a pretty poor power. The heal is nothing compared to Stygian Circle, the damage is poor and the endurance is hefty.

Powers you missed that I would take -
Eclipse!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is one of the best powers in the whole game! This can cap your resistances and recover your endurance. Take it and love it
Gravatic Emanation is a great control power. Fast acting and fairly long lasting you can stun whole groups. The KB is controllable too since it is a cone, so you know where they will end up after you have cast it and can avoid annoying the whole team usually. You may not use it every mob when in a team, but when you do use it you will love it.

Other comments -
Shadow Cloak's defence supressed when in combat, I am not sure of the exact numbers but it looks like you have aimed for a bit of defence (With Maneuvers etc) and I am not sure how well this will work in practice. I have kept your slotting since I haven't tested it but I am sure someone else can confirm.

I have had a quick play with your build and made the following:
