How do I mine for correct slotting?

Questions:
* Do I slot my form powers? Do I slot the toggle itself (e.g. Dark Nova)? If so, what do I put in it?
* Should I be sharing slots out for all my forms, or focusing more on one or another?
* Do I ever get more powers in forms, or does each start out with all the things it gets?

Currently level 10, haven't bothered to slot anything yet, probably should but don't know what to put where, or how slotting interacts with my form powers. Does an enhancement in Dark Nova affect the dark nova abilities, too? Should I be filling them with slots, or just spreading stuff around so all my powers get something?

At level 10, you're going to feel a bit starved for slots. As soon as you take the toggle power, you get every other power that form can use. There are no more that unlock later.

Only slot the toggles for attributes you find worth slotting for. The endurance boosts and endurance costs are all trivial, so I do not find them worth slotting. Dark Nova's +tohit is enhanceable, but again, not really worth it. A Performance Shifter proc is worth throwing in there, as it'll double the effective endurance bpnus with one enhancement. Dwarf form benefits from slotting resistance. What you cannot do is slot the toggle for damage so that it carries over to all the form powers. If you want the form powers to be enhanced, you have to add slots to them.

Yes, you should be sharing slots. I would suggest slotting the powers you find the most useful to you with more slots. Again, you're only level 10, so the slot crunch is there for sure. It gets a lot better as you start picking up powers that work well with only the default slot.

Okay, that helps.

Now I just have to wait for a freespec so I can share slots out a little more kindly with form powers.
