So out of bordem I took my tri form build got rid of the nova half of it (and it's associated slots) and messed around a bit if I was going to play human/dwarf only.
Generally when I play I enjoy tri form, but I've always wanted a viable human/dwarf form.
So taking into account what I learned building the triform version of this characater (well at least in mids), I modified it a tiny bit to see what I could do with a human/dwarf Shade..
I've managed to get 10% defense to just about everything (not much but it'll still help a bit). I am not taking any of the shields as it'd be a respec'd build that would grant me eclipse (except if I play low levels but I've got the triform build for that).
Anyway.. Again I was able to get hasten down to perma with this build, a little bit of defense to dodge a few hits and assuming eclipse hits 5 dudes capped defense.
Does it look like a viable dual form build? Again most play will be with the triform.. But a good Bi form shade is an interesting concept.. Though it definitely loses some damage potential with the loss of dark nova's 2 aoe attacks.

The question is.. Does it look viable?
