There are several issues going on in this build, but let me ask the question that's nagging me the most:
Why did you gimp your nova attacks?
I was planning on spending most of my time in human but still wanted both forms. I know the build, despite the set totals, is bad. Slot placement is bad, etc. I just can't get my brain around the fix. Maybe I've been staring at it to long etc. Fresh set of eyes and all that.

Well, the thing is, your nova form is basically useless as is right now. If you were taking it to set mule stuff and planning on being human only, that would be one thing, but yeah--defense debuffs on your damage form? Not good.|

Another thing is this--even if you don't like light form for whatever reason, you're going to want a lot more recharge in your build. Hasten, too, obviously. (I know some people dislike the glowing hands effect, don't know what to tell you if that's the case, aside from hiding it with auras and such.) Human form attacks are incredibly slow, and if you want to stick to that form mainly, you'll be sitting inactive a lot in between attacks.
Anyway, I can take a look at it later when I get to a computer with Mids', if no one else beats me to it.
Yes, please have a look in mids. I'm sure there are better slotting options than what I choose that will give me much of the same results. I don't mind hasten, couldn't even tell you why I didn't take it on this build. And I like lightform as well, I just didn't want to use perma lightform.

For on my pb, I have my human only perma-lightform build and then my more normal 'dancer' build for mid and low level task forces. Both are fun, but my human build was the first toon I even got to the end of the Underground Trial who wasn't dying every five seconds.

Don't you know that discussion of power selection/slotting can ONLY be based on hearsay, rumor, idle speculation, and bald-faced lies??!? ~Elf_Sniper

On one hand, I completely disagree that building your character with enough recharge to perma lightform is "not standing on your own feet." It's a build choice, and frankly, it's a smart one. There is a small crash that is easy to deal with, and the power itself is weaker in effectiveness terms than, say, Unstoppable is. In fact, using it if you're in danger of dying is what would make it an "oh crap" power (which is what you intend to use it for, yes?), when in reality, you'd be using it proactively and leaving it on permanently. It can no longer be labeled as such, any more than Eclipse could.
On the other hand, this is your build, your play style, and your choice. And you are entitled to all three.
Perhaps I did not understand what I read on the Lightform changes then. I've had my PB since khelds were around, keep in mind my some what long sabbitical, and Lightform used to be unstoppable almost exactly. I read the changes and probably didn't process them as I should have. So my question would be,
In a perma lightform build today, If I'm playing and just hanging out and forget to hit light form occasionally, am I going to be face planting or is the build strong enough that permalightform is a option and not the norm?
I ask because you compared lightform to eclipse, and on my WS I know without Eclipse running constantly, I am in trouble.
As to my playstyle, I play tanks more than anything else other than my PB. And I find that I don't break free of the run in and lay waste mentality my tanks enjoy very easily.
If you are used to operating without it, then I suppose you'll be fine.
The thing is, it operates basically like Eclipse or Strength of Will in that you use it proactively to absorb alphas and such, as it isn't the automatic god mode that it used to be (that other tier 9's are). The only thing that separates it from the two is a relatively minor crash (it takes you down to half HP/endurance) as it expires. And since you have multiple self heals, it's generally not a problem. Not to mention it let's you drop your resistance toggle picks from the build if you so choose, so you can concentrate on slotting your attacks better.
The major boon in my opinion, however, is that in perma-ing it, you get what warshades don't--status protection. The recovery boost is also nice.
You make a sound argument.
Ok, perma eclipse me. One caveat, I would like to keep the S/L Resist toggle.

People have gotten along without perma-lightform for all these years. If you got along fine without using it back then, you can do so now. They haven't changed anything on PB's that would make it less effective in surviving.

Bi-Form build - Dwarf is *my* lightform)
I haven't looked at your build in Mid's, but at first glance, it struck me as a Human
build far more than a tri-former.
In any case, I wouldn't worry too much about Lightform or not. One might even make
a case for Quantum Flight over LF, *if* all you're really looking for is a quick
"Oh sh*t" button... <shrug>

I've been rich, and I've been poor. Rich is definitely better.
Light is faster than sound - that's why some people look smart until they speak.
For every seller who leaves the market dirty stinkin' rich,
there's a buyer who leaves the market dirty stinkin' IOed. - Obitus.
Ok, I tried to leave all of your power picks as is (because I didn't know how attached you were to certain ones, such as pulsar). You also didn't really give me a budget, so I tried to limit the purples. And, you still have very high SL defense (I see what you were going for there).
What I changed:
More recharge (perma hasten/Light Form, with the caveat that you take Agility/Spiritual alpha)
Better ST chain in human form
Better Nova attacks
With all that in mind, this is the direction I would go:

Let me know what you think.
I'm not set on pulsar. Pulsar was an experiment in mitigation, much the same as I use hand clap. If an enemy is stunned they aren't hurting me, so pulsar was going to become, "I need an extra second for <insert power here> to recharge."
I like what you've done, although I only see one 4 pt knockback IO. I'm guessing with the perma eclipse and the knockback protection in it that it will become my primary knockback protection.
As for budget, I don't see me using PVP IOs or purples for a while so I would be looking to replace those in the short term. The reason I say that is because as long as I've been playing, I am just now 500 mil from having my first 2 billion inf. HOs aren't a problem because I'm on Justice and we raid anywhere from 2 to 4 times a week.
It looks good although I'm at work and won't be able to pop it into mids until tongiht. Just at first glance though, looks real good. Like I said earlier, I'm sure there were smarter slotting choices than I was making
Quote:
I'm not a big fan of pulsar myself; I don't consider 2 mags of stun worth a 3 second animation time. If you don't like it much either, it can be switched out for another set with a good recharge bonus. It's all up to you.|

In the end, the build itself shouldn't be viewed as a "finished" product--rather, it's more of a template to work off of. Of course, if you have any other questions/etc, I'd be happy to help further.
Oh yeah, I defintely want help I have enjoyed my kheld for a long time but recognized he needed an overhaul of sorts. What would you recommend other than pulsar?
You should do a guide on comparable IOs lol. I would never have thought to use Makos in place of Hecatomb. I absolutely love stupey though.
I'll pop it up in mids later and see if anything else jumps out at me.

I don't know...there are a few options. I would have to look at what I could do, see if you could make up the 10% recharge somehow. The only things I can think of at the moment would lose you a bit of SL defense.|

I could look into detailing alternative IO's in my Mids' guide, at some point.
There is always one of the trusty stand bys for any power in the form of either Combat Jumping or Air Superiority. AS might be that absolute best power in the game. Kinda hard to judge without MIDs right in front of me though as to what might fit.
Wow. I loaded that build up in mids and that is exactly what I was trying to accomplish. Still not sold on pulsar or quantum acceleration but so far this is the right track. I knew there was a better way to accomplish my goals than what I was attempting. I did swap out gleaming blast for glinting eye, simply because I like the animation better, still slotted the same though.
Could lose those and pick up superspeed and burnout. Man, attack chain, burnout attack chain would be a DPS monster I think.
I personally don't like burnout much, the crash isn't really worth it unless there's some really awesome power you can stack by using it. Gang War, for example. Anyway, that's my opinion.
I've adjusted my build to get rid of pulsar--hasten is a second off from perma, but light form will still be perma. I also got your glinting eye, and kept gleaming blast too.

Let me ask what you think of using the aoe blast instead of the singe target blast.
Quote:
Haven't taken the human form AoE's in years. Never thought it was worth it, and it seemed counter-intuitive. The main draw of human form is for single target damage--and you get that from melee. Why, then, would you use a weaker version of your novas attacks to knock them away from you?|

On strictly human-form PB's it might be different, but on a tri-form (especially with instant form change coming up) it would be a waste.
Just looking at the numbers on this build, it makes me very happy. lol Thanks Stone.
Or at least let me know if this build isn't viable. With all the changes that have been made lately I'm not sure how to go with him. The only things I know I want is that I want tri form, and I don't want to duplicate powers, so since squid has blasts, I would rather not take blasts on human. I don't really want to go perma lightform either. Just personal preference there. So here is the build...
