First attempt at building a WS.
As the title says, this is my first attempt at building a WS. I am currently at level 25 so this is a build that will be in the making for a while. That also gives me time to tweak and tweak til its the best I can make it. I am going for max damage/utility. Hasten is perma before incarnate stuff and my mires are perma after T4 Alpha. Needless to say Eclipse is also perma before incarnate powers. This does look like a rather pricy build. Also, I do not fully understand how procs and stuff work in form(LOTG and Numina/miracle). Some help understanding that would be great. Ok here is the build. All suggestions and constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated.

- You don't need that many slots in stygian circle, you'll be fine with the basic slot.
- I'd recommend building for some SL defense, if you can. Some kin combats here and there go a long way in making you more survivable.
- I prefer slotting Gravity Well with at least some damage, since it's so strong, it'd be a waste to slot it as purely a hold.
- Dark Extraction needs more slots, those pets are so awesome. I suggest 4 slotting with expediant reinforcement, and 2 slotting with soulbound dam/rech and the chance for build up.
Edited: Also, I seem to be encountering a LOT of negativity towards me playing a WS. This has resulting in me soloing all the way to 25 with my only teaming experience being on a PositronTF that I had to start. I am looking for more teaming efforts with people who enjoy playing the Kheld ATs. If it means starting over on a new server thats fine.

I'm sorry for the stupid people you've run into, and if you are interested in swapping servers to find better comrades, you may want to take a look at this.

A global enhancement like LOTG, Miracle, etc. is an enhancement with an effect that will always work as long as you are playing within three levels of the level of the enhancement. So, for example, a lot of people buy level 25 LOTG Recharges so that when they exemp down as far as level 22 they will still receive the recharge bonus. For Global IO's like Miracle and Numina, I am 90% sure that they work at all levels regardless of the level of the enhancement, provided you're high enough level to slot them.
And yeah, global IO's do work in forms, the powers do not have to be toggled on for you to get the benefit of the global enhancements.

I will look at your build in a little bit, but in the meantime have you read The MFing Warshade? It's an invaluable tool for new Warshades, and I recommend it for every single person who ever makes one.
OK, I tried to get more defense into the build. I came to about 34% S/L defense. It will take 5 mobs to cap Resistance with Eclipse. Does that seem right to you guys? I had to give up some of my recharge but with my alpha slot I was able to perma hasten and Eclipse. So is this on the right track then?

Also, the weekly Kheld team looks really fun! Is that something I could roll a new WS and join in on or would I need to transfer my level 27 shade over?
If two headed boy doesnt beat me to it, I'll send you my build with the reasons I picked what I picked (THB helped me with my build, actually) and let you decide what you'd like to do w/ your build from there. Basically though, I recommend making sure you're fine on recharge pre alpha, and get maybe 20-30% SL.
In regards to Kheldian Fridays, you can do either. It would be easier to bring whatever you have if you have a free transfer left, but we can get you up to speed either way.
Ok, thanks for the help so far. I will most likely plan on bringing my WS over from Guardian Server for the weekly fun. Is there much teaming done during the rest of the week? I am pretty much a daily player and my WS is my current project.
Also, what is the reason to play an only human WS? I understand not having to retoggle all the time but arent you missing out on the flavor of being a Kheld? Or is this just my lack of knowledge only having been looking at khelds for like 2 weeks now?

What form one plays is mostly a matter of preference, though if you throw a certain amount of money into a human forms build it can push ahead of a triforms in numbers/performance. Myself, I prefer triform after playing humanform for 2 years. THB's shade is humanform, so you'll have a chance to see us both in action.
This is on Protector Server? I wanted to verify before I wasted a transfer. heh
Aye. Very much so! It was truly inspiring. I trained up and slotted my powers. I got a few random rolls in using tickets. I even scored a +3%defense to slot in absorption. So I am all ready and eager to get started.
As a side note...this WS feels different than my one on Guardian server. I couldnt come up with a decent costume. I love Lord Sirken's costume though...There is something to be said for feeling attached to a toon that you think looks good and some time went into designing him.
Thanks so much for inviting me to the fun. I really enjoyed meeting yall. See ya ingame!
Aw, it sounds like I missed some fun
As a side note, Real Steel was a cool movie.
