Looking for help on a WS Dwarf-only build


AIB

 

Posted

My WS is getting close to 50, and I plan on going full Dwarf tanking, and I could use some help with slotting, sets, incarnates and the like. I don't have the money to spend on purple or PVP sets.

I was planning on taking all the Concealment pools just to have something to stick some LotGs in.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Even if you 6 slot every Dwarf ability (including teleport) you are still going to have slots left over. Therefore, you may wish to look into several buff, utility, and/or nuke powers from human form...or even, if you don't mind going triform, getting Nova and slotting the AOE attacks.

Were I in your position I'd still follow the build path that I have chosen for AIB I'd just slot cheap sets, focusing upon recharge at first, until I could afford the next upgrade.

Of course, you may want to six slot dwarf taunt...and (*cringe*) Dwarf teleport.

I do have Taunt sixslotted for Mocking Beratment. I was wondering what other sets would be good to get and where to put them.

You're using the wrong AT.

If you want a tanking character, roll a tank.

If you want a tanking character with better damage, roll a brute.

You play your warshade if you want something with the flexibility to blast, control, tank, nuke, summon pets, shove its resistance up to the 85% cap and its damage up to the 300% cap.

If you want to hamstring the previously mentioned AT, then limit it to dwarf form.


Where to now?

True story--I read the OP and thought, "Oh, this guy wants to gimp his WS." I wasn't going to say anything, but I'm glad Dechs did.

Lerson, if you're going triform there is really no reason to screw yourself over by neglecting the other forms. A warshade does not fill any type of existing niche (such as tank, or blaster, or whatever)--rather, it is a sum of its parts, creating an entirely different playstyle. So don't limit yourself dude, even a cheap triform build will vastly outperform a limited one.

Of course, maybe I just misinterpreted the OP. It happens.
