Your datalink isn't working for me- Do you have the chunk? I'm no good at doing the scrolldown-glanceover.

Quick questions Two-Headed. What is your WS's build mainly for? Like are you all human form? Because i have a WS and im looking into making him all human form, but have no clue which powers to pick, how to slot them, or what to slot in them for that matter.

I use dwarf form for set mules, but yeah I play strictly human form. My warshade is for destroying everything on 54x8, soloing AV's, and general winning-related activities.

I've thought about writing a guide for high end human-forming, but I have yet to get around to it. AlienOne's guide doesn't have any info about the incarnate era human form Warshade but the advice he gives about powers and whatnot is still very useful.

I just transfered my WS from freedom server over to protector since i see so many more Kheldians on that server. Think you could give me a hand with my WS's build? Since yours is pretty much composed for what im aiming to do?

You seem like you're lacking direction and your priorities seem... Pretty off. Why did you build up fire/cold defense so high? I guess if you don't plan to do anything else on your warshade but fire farms that seems like a really dumb decision, and if that was the case you're especially gimping yourself by not taking unchain essence, it's basically a crashless nuke with awesome control potential.

Assuming you plan to leave the AE building, you'll really want to refocus a lot of your slotting. Taking Dwarf for kinetic combat mules is a good way to do that. There's no sense in trying to chase positional defense on a Warshade build, the best philosophy is to just try to softcap your s/l defense, and your recharge is very low.

Slotting e drain up is only wise if you're using it in your attack chain, which means that it's never wise to slot it strictly as a heal, and in your case especially head scratching since you slotted ebon eye also.

Stygian Circle and Stamina are both extremely overslotted- The most I've put into either on any of my specs are 2 efficacy adaptors for the HP bonus.

Super Speed is a waste of a power choice, and heresy to put another slot into. Shadow Step is the fastest travel power in the game, and you can't make SS purple and doom-y.

I slot my orbiting death with 2 dam/end IO's, a FOTG -res IO, and an Armageddon fire damage proc. You're kinda over doing it... It's not THAT end-intensive.

Once you re-appropriate slots you should find yourself with perma Mire which means that the kismet tohit IO isn't necessary.

Dark Extraction is underslotted. You'll want to max out damage and recharge and get good accuracy values.... If you don't wanna buy 2 pieces of SA to put on the end, I'm sure you can find a cheaper alternative but you'll lose the opportunity from the build up proc.

There's other stuff that I would do differently too but this is definitely enough to keep you busy for a while.
