My TriFormShade has not be slotted specifically to maximize nova/dwarf forms, but I pretty much play the with a style that you're talking about. One of my favorite things to say is "If I'm in human form long enough to toggle a shield on, I've been human for too long."
If I'm killing enemies, I'm most likely shifted into nova or dwarf, but it sometimes surprises me how often I drop to human form. Eclipse. Hasten. Summon fluffy. Mire. Eclipse. Unchain Essence. Eclipse. Stygian Circle.
Kheldians may see a slot crunch, but it's not so bad that you can't slot up some human powers to augment the forms.
And the only "cool slotting" I did anywhere was to get enough recharge to make eclipse permanent.

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
Can you PM me that build?
No.
But only because I posted it already, in this thread.
It may have changed since then, but not by much.

Thanx... I try not to copy anyones build completely since everyone has a different play style, but I do like to look at the builds of other player to get some sort of an idea where I want to go.
Please give that whole thread a read. There's a lot of builds in there and a lot more advice. It's a great place to learn about TriFormShades.
Any other AT can usually copy builds and play just fine, but Kheldians are far different in that regard. There may be three best katana/willpower builds, one optimized for damage, one for survivability, and one that's balanced. There are no best warshade builds, because they vary too much based on how you want to play them. There can be a hundred different tri-form builds that specialize in different things, or accent certain forms. There are a thousand more that are bi-form and human form, and they all perform differently but equally awesome.

This is what I'm currently using. I concider it my universal build. Good for everything from street sweeping to tanking ITF's and everything in between.
Great soloing build and excellent on teams.

If you PL'd to 50 just to get an "epic" thinking you'd be �ber, you're going to be sorely disappointed with the HEATs, because the VEATs were designed so that anyone with one good finger and a braincell can rock the toggles.
I was wondering if anyone has a Nova/Dwarf only build? The power choices are given to you, but the slotting is all up to us. I was wondering if anyone did any cool slotting to help increase stats and what filler powers did you pick for slotting for more enhancements for set bonuses.
