Human/Dwarf form Warshade: Viable?

Taking a second look at all the Warshade powers, I'm contemplating trying out a dual-form build over a Tri-form one.

Is it worthwhile to do a Warshade without a Nova form?

I wouldn't, if only for those times when you get to fly an Eclipsed & Mired Nova! She truly feels like an Orbital Platform then...

As a person who favors scrappers and tanks, I'm happiest playing my warshade as mostly dwarf. I use human form for traveling between spawns, throwing some control and buffs at the beginning of a fight, and summoning pets and recovering endurance at the end. Damage is not very high, but it's safe and effective enough for my tastes. I do have Nova in the build, though, with a basic level of slotting in the attacks; it's handy on teams where someone else is handling the aggro and I can focus on damage.

Go for it. Bi-Forms were considered much more useful than Tri-Forms for a long time before they changed how Kheldian inherents worked. Try and focus on the Human Form's mezzes and pet summoning as well as its attacks. You'll get some really sweet results.

I'm curious if this works the other way - would I end up filled with regret later if I just did human/nova?

I started a Warshade on Test server and its cool but im not familiar with it any tips you can tell me on how to play it Do i even bother with the sheilds when mostly im in the Nova Form and i find it harder to Level than the others why is that
