Warshade build

Yat Man · 12-08-2010 12:23 PM

Hi all. I've been toying around with my warshade build since i19, and I think I've finalized it. I'd like for someone to take a look at it and let me know if there's anything I'm missing or could tweak a little to make him even more effective. He's built for survivability, so with that in mind I made him so that he would have perma eclipse, and would almost always be at the 85% damage cap. went with the musculature radial boost since I am lacking on damage output that some warshade builds have. Any comments would be appreciated!

Your build's link doesn't appear to be working, could you post a data chunk?

Just from looking at the build, this is what sticks out:

Armageddon would be better placed in a power that you use often. I like to use Quasar about every time it's up myself, but I would put Armageddon in the Dwarf Mire. That power does some very hefty AoE damage and with the recharge you likely have, you can stack its buff on top of itself.

I'd slot Unchain Essence as a damage power, you can get the same recharge bonus out of another set of Positron's blast and deal a lot more damage with it. The stun chance is only 50% per mob, and the damage chance is 100%.

Dark Nova doesn't need that kind of slotting. I'm not aware of the set bonuses that slotting gives you, but Dark Nova itself is really only benefiting from the endurance reduction. The tohit buff is completely unnecessary. With all the accuracy bonuses you have, you shouldn't need the extra tohit. It only gets you another ~4% tohit, and Sunless Mire gives you that per target. Move those slots to somewhere that'll do more good, like Dwarf Mire.

I don't know how much you value the Expedient Reinforcement unique, but I promise that you'll get more mileage out of the purple pet set build up proc.

Where to now?

Fixed link. Sorry about that. Honestly 90% of my build was just to build towards achieving perma eclipse. that 7.5% recharge in Dark nova is only there for that. Then i saw the status resist and decided to toss another slot in there as well.

Good call on the armagheddon set. That's a great suggestion. Ill look into the purp set, but Ill have to see if that takes away from my perma eclipse. with the build as is, I recharge eclipse in 84 seconds.

Hey, don't forget to frankenslot. You can put four Expedient Reinforcement in Extract Essence and then put two from the purple set, including the proc. That gets you the important recharge bonus AND gets better enhancement out of the purple set and gets a build up proc.

Oh, and you can get 7.5% recharge out of four slots of Basilisk's Gaze if you put that in Gravity Well. Add two common damage enhancements on the end and you're still keeping the damage of the power.
