I am at work right now, so I don't have mids with me, but I will take a look at this when I get home and edit in my comments.
Edit:
Alright, I can see what your goals are, and you've done a fine job of it. I can see you plan to be heavy on the forms, and stay out of human except to buff up your forms. If anything, you went a little overboard on the recharge. Hasten is permanent, and it doesn't actually need to be. You did manage to put in a modest bit of defense, which will be noticeable.
I don't know if you exemplar ever, but if you do, you'll want to move sunless mire up to level 12 and Gravity Well up to 18. You can push those pool power mules to the higher levels and not lose anything, and still move super speed up to say 14 or 16. Since the LotG bonus is global, it won't matter where in the build you put the mule powers.
I notice you have mostly level 35 enhancements, which leads me to believe you do exemplar (that's really the only reason to get lower level IOs). That in mind, I would definitely take the powers you plan to use as soon as they're available.
Ok, without moving any of the powers around, here's what I'd do differently:
Code:
I stole three slots from Stygian Circle. The 5% recharge wasn't worth all those slots, and you can do more with them elsewhere. Hasten still recharges in 120.7 seconds, and Eclipse in 83, so there's still some comfortable overlap.| Copy & Paste this data into Mids' Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1556;744;1488;HEX;| |78DA65944B4F13611486BF6967289469A7B5F642815EB95AA8B0F3B2302A1B0CC60| |AA81B15877690D152480B44A28968D41805125778897FC0851B1563FC1B1AFD0FC6| |1875E9653C97A18CB481F7E9BCF39EEF3B33E74B4F5E1B5185583D2224FFF1B25EA| |B4D9DD3ABB559BD6478268AA651291AC22384486EBB53A766668C4ACD5C36F267E6| |A6AB7A79EA18542D26EAF7478C5DF78F2E55F5E06865D6A81A95C5FCF6176F617EB| |E9C9F58308C924A5FC70C7DC1AC5C0ED2C56865D9AC99D366D95C5CD1B66F970CD8| |C25C1031E8A71FFE6F41DFFCB1E00F3E62C9E9C424213AC56DB024DB9228B40C8E5| |B62C71DA5D01DB0143BA46CBA84181619786A0FA75C9E9C40ABEB3F4420D062D7B4| |8425B47C60B5DA562B5B2BB0B2CFB67C6CF921A5D996C65616ACA06D05D3B4FC752| |80CB12587D290CA883477D693A0AB9E242343B801F1303DA8E50A6FB8D0DAB74E18| |7844780081A8BD5EF4930B9F7AA093761AFE4C57C31F191F081A74D46677D4C64DD| |E8315DA6DAB3D4EA56B2A66C9923A5F92957E4158873B49BEA3247F5207FD3F18DF| |19DFB8C92F82F095705745E52D3234AC5570BA693696D28DAFA157F4261919468A3| |0C00D0DE6A8D5FB50D5C76F43E9B368A3C1DF8C5F84FD7F187F19C28DD880AA9CBD| |7B8E767F084EDE76F2BCC34DB086786931C427A143DE7D0EC71A9C82EC38865C96A| |210AD649D7016F00198941DE78B2DBF5C3FA6B2F294DE586093B0F71921FE84907E| |4CF035C6B31CC87220CBC55D5C1C70C6DF9095D822A45E335E31DE12B4C67884E31| |18EC7381EE378B3EC38CF06592E9DB0A7C4B8C44F521438CFA6C6B8CA713FC7FD1C| |0F14090AC579E0211E78334FBA9967EBE5F17B79EE2ACF5DDED944094D704FE304F| |934A340688ABAF1F53745089E9D2A11E2C1B89D0B5DA1B5E326A163967195909863| |9409EFEABF562DE35ED0499402CA5994F32817502EA2E828D3284514EB7DBD5A3B8| |0A7E720CA2194C328E100C81A263DF893D48AA2A2F850FC281A4A0025841247798E| |62FD0344F0E1FA| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|
The first slot went into Eclipse to slot some accuracy. Eclipse does require a tohit check, and in anything short of a full spawn you'll start to notice misses.
Second slot went to Black Dwarf to put the Performance Shifter proc in there. Powers get endurance hungry with the kind of recharge you're packing, and the Performance Shifter really helps. Speaking of, I changed the Dark Nova slot from end mod to the Perf Shifter proc as well. It provides more benefit than a single end mod enhancement does.
Third slot I threw in Gravity Well. That power is the heaviest hitting power we have, so you might as well slot some damage in it.
The other thing I changed was dropping Gravimetric Snare for Gravity Shield. Without slots, I don't picture you using Gravimetric Snare, and Gravity Shield lets you put the Steadfast +3% defense unique in there.
Something else to consider: Dark Nova Bolt tends to go almost unused in high recharge builds because the other three blasts do more damage and make a full attack chain. You could put those four slots into Gravitic Emanation and slot the Stupefy set for the same 6.25% recharge bonus, but you'd be picking up a really useful stun.

Cool, much appreciated. I went for super high recharge to get perma-eclipse.

I have a very similar build and it rocks. Main differences - I don't have stealth, I have a stealth IO in one of the extra sprints. I also have Grav Emanation slotted and Inky Aspect and can stack disorients in a pinch to protect team mates.
I don't have as much recharge but still have perma Eclipse. What I have in place are purple damage proc IO sets. Not sure it makes a big diff, but its fun to see the numbers.

Hello all,
I am really enjoying my new War Shade (thanks to the MFing WS Guide!), and was hoping for a review of my proposed build. I am currently level 29 and have most of the enhancements on other characters waiting for her to hit 32.
I play an aggressive tri-form style that basically uses the human form to supplement my other two damage dealing forms.
Any and all guidance is welcome!
