My WS lvling up build

Thoran_EU · 01-31-2012 07:20 AM

I've got a lot of freespecs on my account. Well, maybe not as much as some of you have, but half of my mailbox is filled with Character Respec tokens (the other half is tailor tokens... )
So I thought, lets use one of these respecs to change my character at the point I start slotting set IO's.

So far i've come up with this:

A few notes/questions:
- Anything over/underslotted?
- The powers where I've placed a lone Acc/Dam IO can be any set, or if I can't find a cheap set, a generic acc IO
- I've mailed 100M inf from one of my other characters to this one, is that enough to slot the sets i've selected here?
- Both mires will be getting an extra Obliteration As soon as I've got the slots for it
- Should I slot gravity well for Hold (and a global +7.5% rech bonus), like I've done here, or should I slot it for damage?
- What (pool)powers should i pick next? I want Unchain Essence, Dark Extraction and Eclipse, but what others?

Also, I'm having trouble soloing so far... If I set the difficulty to +0/x1 it feels to easy, if I set it to +0/x2 I faceplant every 2nd mob, or have to keep running around as dwarf.

I've read that guide, that's actually the reason why I rolled a WS in the first place (okay, and because I was very curious as to how the AT played). I just wanted to know wether I'm on the right path

Looks pretty good to me, speaking from a theoretical viewpoint. The one thing that stands out to me is that you should slot Gravity Well as an attack. The hold is icing on the cake. It does very good damage, and if slotted correctly can one shot even level minions at level 50. I'm not sure how well it performs prior to that, but I assume the general idea still applies.

As far as price goes, I'd guess 100M will be close to enough if you're patient. The exception is the Oblits. Those tend to be very expensive. However, IIRC they can be bought with Reward Merits. If you get some super packs and yours are anything like mine, you'll have thousands of those in a matter of minutes. I'm not exaggerating. I got over 3000 Reward Merits in 48 super packs. 24 of those packs were from my monthly VIP points.

The key to lvling up a WS is...TEAM. Team all the time. Organize and invite people to TFs. Soloing can be pretty painful on a shade before Eclipse, but with the right team mixture you can end up with 30-50% res all and 40-80% Dam buff (just avoid teaming with a bunch of trollers, Doms or other EATs). After Eclipse, this advice changes because you are consitently res capped, double mired and rolling like a boss, so you can laugh off just about any group at x8 (and you'll want to run x8 to double saturate mire and to ensure you have delicious bodies for Stygian Circle).
