Attack Chain

Okay so i just IO'd my Human Form WS and i must say i am REALLY pleased with the results of the sample build that i got from reading Alien's Guide(Which was A LOT of help). I am however not sure of an attack chain i can use yet. So far i've been hitting the mobs with GE, then eclipse, followed by mire, and then styg circle to regain any health/end lost in those last 3 moves. I do hit Stygian Circle consistently as it recharges in 7 seconds i believe and eclipse is well over perma by about 5-6 seconds i believe. The build is pretty solid, i just have to find an attack chain that i can use to maintain myself alive since the build is built for Recovery/Recharge. Again, any help is greatly appreciated Thanks guys

You run out of endurance in three moves? The second move being Eclipse? Yikes, dude.

People need to know your powers/build before they can tell you what your chain should be.

I think he mainly uses Styg early to regain Health lost from non-mezzed enemies that hit him before he jumped in, the Endurance being a side effect. I personally wonder how much Health he can possibly lose if he has Eclipse up and likely only three or four enemies (most of them bosses) would be unstunned after the Emanation to even hit him. I guess better safe than sorry, might as well Styg as much as you can, except you CAN'T that early in the fight anyways because nothing would be dead yet. I'm so confused...

Good point, I hadn't even thought about that...

Nooooooo i dont lose a lot of end, i just dont like being low on it in case Stygian Circle happens to miss. End is not a problem for me

Stygian Circle should be plenty good enough to give you adequate endurance with just a couple of targets. I actually started slotting mine for end mod a while after switching to Human Form since our endurance gets spent much more quickly than Tri Form.

EXACTLY! Mine is slotted that way because i noticed that my end compared to a tri form was going down faster. Stygian Circle recharges relatively quick enough for me to keep a consistent attack chain without having ALL my endurance drained.

I also build enough recovery into my builds that I generally only have to use Stygian Circle at the end of an x8 fight, so building recovery bonuses and slotting your toggles for endurance reduction is important also. Another thing that's helpful is the Agility Core Paragon since it provides probably the three most important things to a Human Form Warshade: Recharge, Defense, and Endurance Modification. It's good to aim for a 2 point difference between endurance use and recovery.

Eh i wasnt thinking about Agility. I went Spiritual for the recharge without realizing the Agility gave recharge as well. Just not as much

I used to run Spiritual too, and I find Agility much more useful.

I find that to be a great piece of information to have. I appreciate the feedback as far as an alternate alpha goes. For Destiny its best go with Clarion as a WS i assume?

It depends on what you're doing. I have one of each Destiny at t4 (aside from t3 Incandescence,) and I switch between them depending on the situation. If I'm fighting enemies light on mez but with defense debuffs (like Cimerorans) I'll bring some break free's and Ageless for the DDR. I also bring Ageless and Break Free's for Malta and Arachnos even though they have lots of mez, because I think the debuff resistance and +end from ageless to deal with the -end is most useful. Clarion for solo play is what I'll use against things like Rikti. I use Barrier or Rebirth for soloing AV's so I don't have to worry about killing mobs to heal myself and I can keep them up as Mire food for longer periods, keeping DPS on my primary target for as long as possible before I need to pull more buff food. For Incarnate trials, I'll bring Clarion to MoM and UG for the wide status protection, and Rebirth or Barrier to just about everything else.

Gotcha. I wasnt really sure which way to go but now i see it isnt a matter of which one suits the AT best, its about which one suits the SITUATION best. Again, nice piece of information to have. Looks like there's a lot more to being a WS than people care to realize.
