Tri-form Warshade Build, LF: Feedback
Overall it's pretty good. I've made a couple minor changes. I don't think you need the extra slot in tactics, you'll rarely turn the power on, and next to Mire buffs, the 2% damage bonus is pretty much worthless. I'd like to see some accuracy in Sunless Mire and some in Eclipse as well. I'd also like to see some more enhancement in Dwarf Mire, as you'll want some damage and recharge in it. I took two enhancements out of Stamina; you really don't need any recovery since you have Stygian Circle, and the free stamina + proc is more than enough extra. I changed the generic end mod in Stygian Circle to the Eff. Adapter End mod; that doesn't change the enhancement value, but it gives you some bonus HP. I also stole a slot from Vengeance for Dwarf Mire.
If you haven't seen it, I suggest you give the guide in my signature a read. It's meant for the tri-form warshades out there, and I'm told it has a lot of good information. I cover everything from tactics to enhancements.

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
Thanks man, and yeah, I've read through your guide quite thoroughly in the past - I said so on the ITF we were on yesterday. :P
Good call on the Dwarf Mire slotting, I had no idea it did enough damage to be meaningful. Also, I have the Force Feedback +Rech proc in each of the Nova AoEs, but I'm pretty sure the Emanation doesn't actually have any knockback. Do you know if that's a MIDs' error, or does it work ingame?
The cone does not have a knockback component to it. Check in-game to see if the power actually accepts knockback sets.

Emanation does not have knockback, but it does accept the enhancement in-game and has done so since i9. I'm not sure putting them in both AoE's is worth it, since they won't stack and should be going off frequently enough from just one; having at least one in there is definitely worth it, though, if you spend much time in nova.

If you play mostly in human form you should switch one of them to gravitic emanation. That will give you more chances to fire and less redundancy because of the non-stacking thing.

My first 'shade, Breakstar, was ironically enough my first hero to hit 50. He's become my main, and is further ahead in Incarnate content than any of my other toons. Still, I've been putting off the process of IOing him out because I can't settle on a build, so I come to you lot looking for assistance.
I'm going for a tri-form build, perma-eclipse and perma-hasten are points of importance. I try to avoid the expensive purple sets, but I can save up for them if necessary. In this draft build, I have him slotted for enough ranged defense that he's softcapped with Vengeance up, but that is not a point of huge importance.
