Functional softcapped & perma eclipsed tri-form Warshade build.
Heh, I've made builds with similar goals at least three times before, and every time it ends up being very dwarf focused. Good mids practice

I was thinking about making an alternative human only build for my Warshade because I've never tried it before, but I became severely bummed out with human only's almost complete inability to keep recharge high and defense where I need it.
My tri-form build (the one I actually use) currently has 185% global recharge and 30% defense to s/l without using toggles... And I couldn't get a human build anywhere close to those numbers without ending up with a retarded looking build, even with toggles left on...
I saw Alien's post I mentioned earlier when looking for info on Human Only building (after I got bummed out when I tried it myself) and thought, "I could probably softcap a tri form build and still end up with as much recharge as a human only build, without severely gimping anything I need."
I found a post by Alien One saying that perma-eclipse can still be had with ~150% global recharge, which inspired this little project. Here are some of the drawbacks...
Nova blasts are a bit underslotted. They're not completely gimped, but they could be better.
Dwarf only has its' default slot, with one Damage Resistance IO. I usually like to use 3 or 4, but with perma eclipse you'll be resistance capped anyways.
There are powers that will never be used that are being overslotted as set bonus mules. This is the main reason why I wouldn't actually use this build, but no essential powers are completely sabatoged. In fact, most of the cornerstone powers are slotted fairly well (exception being Nova Blasts)
Anyways, without any further ado, here is the build. I know it's not perfect but I was pretty proud of the fact that I was able to get these numbers where they are while still making something that's playable. Enjoy!
