builds for warshade ideas (plz)
Reading list:
Dechs' The MF Warshade - no build but good to read to get an idea of running triform.
AlienOne's "Complete" guide to Human form Warshades.
As a Warshade, you've got a WIDE range of sets to pick from, from the obvious damages and resists to pets, slows, stuns and the like. Narrowing down what you're looking for would help. But read those first.
soft caped tanking in either human or dwarf which ever is easier.
maybe just melee cap with 85% resist while eclipse is up

Extracted Essence. I think I made the comments in Dechs' guide, but off the top of my head, you can use IO sets for:

Generally the goal for warshades is high recharge builds because of how attractive perma eclipse is. More recharge is good for just about every build, and for WS doubly so because perma eclipse also makes the WS quite durable in any form. Especially now that luck of the gambler recharge pieces can be obtained with hero merits, perma hasten/eclipse builds are achievable even for the more casual players (you do not need purples to perma eclipse).
As for how to actually slot it, that depends so much on what powers you want to use. You can't realistically slot all WS powers with a tri-form, so you'll have to pick which ones you like the most.
As for actual set choices, here's some suggestions on good recharge sets:
Nova attacks: Decimation/Positron's blast
Dwarf: Crushing Impact, Obliteration (mire), Mocking beratement (taunt, this is at the cost of 5 slots that you might prefer to spend elsewhere)
Dark Extraction: Expedient reinforcements (this + soulbound allegiance dam/rec will cap pet dmg/recharge with good acc)
Gravity well: Basilisk gaze
Grav Emanation: Stupefy (keep track of your 6.25% rechage sets, it's easy to go over 5 on WS)
Stygian circle: Efficacy adaptor (expensive for 5 slots when the power works fine without slots, especially with a high recharge setup)
Unchain Essence: Positron's blast (again, easy to go over 6.25% so keep track of how many you have)
Quasar: Obliteration
Shadow cloak/mule power picks: Luck of the gambler: Recharge speed
Etc.
There's more recharge set options, this is just what came to mind. Just look at what powers you like, slot those out, and try to squeeze out as much recharge as you can. Some people don't like summoning fluffy, or they don't like the crash on quasar, or the target requirement on unchain essence, so they don't grab those powers. There's really no right or wrong way to approach this, just slot out the powers you like to use most, and see how you can maximize recharge with the powers you want to slot.
I have spent hours re-doing my build (to be honest i had no idea what i was doing before) but after spending a lot of time on it, i have come up with what i think is a pretty decent warshade human form build.
Just giving some totals off the top of my head i have 98.8% recharge and my eclipse is perma when hasten is activated by around 2.7 seconds leeway. 5 enemies gets me fully res capped too which is nice.
Obviously i have been aiming for recharge in my build. When fitness becomes inherent i will be looking at one more LoTG + Rech (if it is possible). That should bring me up a tasty sum. I have a lot of mez resist too, if you are going human form i recommend you lay the aegis: status res down and a few of the impervious skin: status res too where you can. When i get more purple sets down i am going to have to rethink a lot of it so i don't waste any set bonuses.
I couldnt bare the thought of slotting a tri-form build lol...
my warshade is level 39 and I haven't bothered to level him because I don't know why IOs to slot.
I want to your tank builds.. if you can make a human tank for I'd be interested in that
a no nova build.
a nova centered trifrom build
anything you can do to help would be great.
