Couple questions about Warshades (various)...

I'm newly back after about 2 years away (yeah, was longer than I thought hehe)... and my friend and I have been wanting to start up some new characters to duo with... and want to try out that new (well 'new' for us) Leveling Pact system to keep them together and keep earning both xp even when soloing on the side.

My friend is definitely going to be a Kin/Dual Pistols Defender.

I've never tried the Kheldians before, but Warshades look very cool to me... and I find myself considering making a Human-form Warshade to duo with him. Thing is, I remember back in the day that the game was always popping in those ultra-hard-hitting anti-Kheldian enemies everywhere... which I'm assuming could be a huge prob when soloing.

Question 1:
Basically, how painful is it to solo as a Warshade (for when my friend is not on and I wish to do so)? ...do those anti-Kheldian enemies (if they still exist) make it neigh-impossible to do so without mass frustration? ...or do Warshades solo well?

Question 2:
If they do still spawn those anti-Kheldian enemies... (just verifying) do they do so in Newspaper missions as well? ...how about in the new architect created missions?

Question 3:
This one is faction related. I know Warshades can only start out as heroes... but can you do the quests to make your Warshade a Vigilante (for access to both sides like I hear Vigilantes and Rogues do)? ...or are you 'stuck' a Hero forever.

It's not too painful at all. It's downright delightful from level 22 onward. I find that they have enough tools to overcome any obstacle they are faced with. The anti-kheld enemies have been weakened over several issues, and their damage is now resistable.

I've written up a guide that takes you through the leveling path as a tri-form warshade. If you aren't afraid to play aggressively and the tri-form appeals to you, I'd highly recommend you check it out. The link's in my signature.

Yes, in newspaper missions and tip missions, but not in AE unless the author included them.
