After quite some time since playing her, I've decided to take a shot at respeccing my Triform PB. After finding some useful information out of this thread, I've made the following build in Mid's:

Based on that thread, I've managed to get perma-Light Form, perma-Inner Light, and nearly perma-Hasten (as a result.) Not much in the way of defense bonuses, however. I've purposely tried to avoid using any VR/ATO sets, just to expedite the creation of the build itself.

My concern is whether or not the powers I've chosen other than the 'must haves' for Triform are really useful. I tried to avoid choosing toggles, but other powers that were available and didn't need a lot of slots seemed less useful. Any opinions?

You chose your powers just fine, however I notice that you've overslotted a couple powers that can be frankenslotted (or not slotted at all), such as light form, inner light, and the heals (glowing touch, specifically). The lack of defense also hurts the survivability on harsher enemies/difficulties. I don't think I would take solar flare at all, slotted the way it is. The endurance cost alone would be too nasty.

I would juggle some slots off of those powers, and put them on radiant strike to beef that up, and replace out some of those other melee enhancements with kin combats. To make up for the lost recharge, I'd probably slot nova blast with decimation, amongst other small tweaks.

Hm. Something a little more like this?

You got the right idea, and with a few minutes of tinkering...

Granted, I did push in an ATO set on the Nova Detonation. Mostly because I just don't like Posi, and the set isn't *that* expensive. But that call is on you.

I'm pretty new to build tweeking so this might make no sense at all, but I'd like your input to let me know if I'm on the right track.

I realize that the inclusion of the ATO is questionably desirable, but since there are already 5 slots devoted to it, why not remove the second Mako's Bite from Radiant and move that slot over to the Nova Det to get the Form Empowerment proc in there. That boosts the S/L resist to the 85%, gives 9% damage boost across the board and given ED, shouldn't that come at least close to compensating for the loss of the second Mako's? It also boosts Psi resist by a noticeable amount.

Thoughts?
