Here's my second attempt at a Tri-form build, any comments/suggestions would be appreciated. I envision this as an all-around MFing style build, for teaming, solo, whatever the situation calls for. Global Recharge is around 90%, there's some (but not capped) S/L defense, and pretty reasonable Regeneration.

Why did you not just post in the first thread? Your data link is broken, by the way, so I'll just point out the issues I can easily see. Anyway...

  • Slotting Gravitic Emanation for damage/knockback? It's a stun.
  • Gravity Well needs damage, slotting it for hold only makes it useless.
  • Your Dark Extraction pets enhancement values suffer from Call to Arms.
  • You want accuracy in Inky Aspect, not endurance reduction. Take a look at it's base endurance cost.
  • You're overslotting Stygian Circle, and with the wrong enhancements. You want recharge so that it will be up even more. The heal you get from it is already large, and needs no further enhancement. Also, a proc is a bad idea in that power.
  • A FotG in Orbiting Death? And nothing else in that power? It won't be slotted enough to be worth using (or sustainable), and you're a tri-former with poor attacks in human form as it is.
  • You've slotted your corpse nuke for stun.
  • You've slotted the self rez?
  • Sunless Mire...needs to be slotted for accuracy, damage, and recharge.
  • There are more things, but that is enough for now.

What exactly are you trying to do with this build? If I had to guess, it would seem you're completely forsaking human forms potential (and to a lesser extent dwarf) in order to just Nova everything to death. But if that were true, you have a lot of procs and such going to waste in human form powers.
