Tri-Form WS Build

Posted

Hey all, below I have a build I made for my Tri-Form WS, I've got it up to perma-Eclipse and just wondering if anyone could critique the build or point out anything I may be missing as I don't have a huge amount of experience with Warshades.

I know there are a lot of missed set opportunities but once I got enough recharge to have eclipse up reliably I just started to slot common IO's, has anyone any Incarnate suggestions also? I think I'm fairly set on Clarion for my destiny slot but unsure on the others, or if I were to take Melee hybrid for the mez protection would I still need Clarion?

Any and all suggestions welcomed

Couple quick things:

You are a tri-form, so Inky Aspect won't be nearly as useful to you as Gravitic Emanation. I've swapped that out and scavenged some slots for it.

Stygian Circle does not need to be slotted for heal.

You shouldn't ever be using Dark Nova Bolt.

I also added two slots to Gravity Well. It's your hardest hitting Single Target attack, it deserves some damage enhancement.

As far as the incarnate advice goes, the incarnate section of my MFing Warshade guide has everything but Hybrid information. I'm working on that bit, but for now, know that Hybrid is only up 50% of the time, so don't expect it to be your Mez protection. Gravitic Emanation is better for that.

Here's what I'd do with your build:

Also, I would think the Chance for Build Up Proc would be better served in Nova Form, but do correct me if I'm wrong. If you're going to slot Stygian Circle for heal, I'd put 5-piece Doctored Wounds in it, but it really isn't necessary.

I would get rid of Gravimetric Snare, but I've never been a big fan of the power. Instead, maybe think about taking Gravity Shield to hold another Steadfast KB IO. I hate knockback with a fiery passion so I have 8pts of protection on mine, though in most normal cases 4pts should be more than enough. As far as Eclipse slotting goes, you could probably get away with only 4 slots, if you frankenslot. I'm at work and can't see my build so I can't say exactly what mine has in it, but I know they are 2 Acc/Recharge and 2 Resistance/Recharge IOs.

I would also think about putting a Force Feedback +Rech proc in the AoE nova attacks. They proc very often in my experience.

As far as incarnates go, if you are explicitly tanking, I would use the Melee Hybrid. If you are only off-tanking (i.e. bringing extra mobs to the group for the hell of it) I would take Damage Hybrid and enjoy double-hit. I take Clarion on my Warshade. I enjoy having it to rely on if I need to drop from Dwarf mid-fight against mezzers.


Paragon Studios, thanks for all you've done. You've made this a great game, and a great community. I see this as six years well-spent. NCSoft, I'm seriously disappointed in you. This is not how you get or keep customers.
