Take Super Speed, Stealth powers don`t stack. I wouldn`t take phase or Nebulous Form, but if I would have to pick I would take Nebulous and not as a panic button but as pseudo travel power. So in my books, it`s a waste of a power pick. And you already have Stygian Return, nothing to panic about.
Yeah, neb form IS phase shift. Just themed for a warshade.

You don't really need a panic button when you have Eclipse.
True, till you get it though... WHo needs a panic button? Dirk Slade has 3 stages of teaming. Looking Awesome, Tanking, and Dead. Usually it's a toss up between Looking Awesome and Dead.
I have used neb form though to absorb the alpha strike before double miring though.

Level 1 to 50 and I never ever had a need for the phase shifting on my WS.
Superspeed and/or Dwarf (for mezz prot and its teleport) are probably your best bet if you want to escape troubles.
You do know warshades can teleport innately. ANd I used neb form for a battle starter, not battle escape.

I'm working on my first warshade, and after looking over some guides etc, it appears as though Nebulous Form is fairly useless as a panic button due to it's 3s activation. So instead of that, I was thinking about picking up Stealth, Grant Invis and Phase shift.
Is Stealth + Shadow Cloak = total invis? I was thinking of using it to tele into mobs and eclipse or mire them before they spot me, then go nova to nuke. Or would I be better served just taking super speed, since I already have hasten. Also, is Phase shift a useful panic button, and I suppose more importantly, does a warshade have any use for a panic button, or is that just a waste of power picks?
Here's a rough outline of my power choice plan. I would stick stealth or super speed in at 16, grant invis at 24 and phase shift at 44 perhaps.
Was also considering taking aid other for some additional utility.
