Just in to say a WS can have perma Eclipse and perma Hasten easily/economically without 1 purple set. Also Quantums are lol after level 22 or so.

WS typically only have issues with sappers and AV's while solo. Lot's of toons have that problem.

Edit:btw, The best solo character for you is the one that gets on your nerves the least while solo.

1) Quantums are laughable. You've got holds, stuns, high resists, awesome heals, more stuns, pets... Believe me, quants/voids are laughable if you play with any bit of intelligence.

2) There are three important set bonuses to look for when building a warshade: Recharge, Recharge, and MOAR RECHARGE. Perma hasten happens by accident.

If you want something survivable against a wide variety of content, how could 85% resist ALL sound bad? I know of a human form only WS that could handle +4/x8 Arachnos. I haven't tried doing this myself with my triform, but suffice to say he's sufficiently powerful.

EDIT: Also, ignore Griff. He compares WS to Grimace because he likes PBs more. But he forgets that PBs have sparkle powers, like the vampires in Twilight. Dunno about you, but I'll take Grimace.

EDIT AGAIN:

I just saw this:

Yes, Dark Armor Sucks. There's no way my DA tank could solo +4/x8 Malta, Carnies and Arachnos like it does in my video. Or hold the aggro of six giant monsters indefinitely (only four shown in the video).

Where to now?

THANK YOU.

SR does NOT need Aid Self. Least of all on a softcapped Brute!
