	  IO Sets and Slotting for a 50+ Warshade Tri-FormGM Crumpet replied to MadnessAsMuse's topic in Peacebringer & Warshade I'm terrible at builds, but WS it's all about the enemies. My builds are here. I started with Dooms, discussed with Laucianna at great length about my play style, then tweaked and adjusted through playing to make it as good as I could. And I'm loving my WS but tend to play it as dwarf primary, squid as secondary for those times I need range (MSR, Hami and annoying flying enemies) with human just for the buffs/debuffs/nuke and pets. My usual tactic is TP in, shadow slip to collect as many enemies as are in range, eclipse- dwarf mire-human mire-human nuke-dark extraction, then dwarf to mop up the survivors. Essence drain when required, and stygian return for those times I overextend myself and die. Teaming is amazing with the inherent, and outside of some enemy groups with some unfortunate debuffs I can handle +8 well solo. I generally play +4 though as it takes forever to clear large mobs. (Fun though 😛 ) The only binds I use are to swap forms quickly. I have the forms on keys I can hit with my little finger, plus the teleports. Other players swear by their binds and macro's, I personally don't need much more than a fast shapechange.

	  Annual - Let it Snow INSTANCE Mother Ship RaidGM Crumpet commented on Anyad's event in Torchbearer Player-Led Event

	I'm now confused. People always tell me procs like LOTG don't need to be attuned as the effect works down to it's min level. "Don't attune purple, PvP and procs" is the accepted wisdom I hear from others. I do attune as I get itchy skin when some are attuned and some aren't, but it always confuses me 🙂

	There is a large difference to live, in that now people often have their own SG and base filled with their own alts as a handy storage and transport hub. On live that was more difficult due to the sheer cost of running an SG with prestige requirements. Saying that, there are are open SG's on all the shards, and they are very good at welcoming and helping new and returning players. If you do regular events on the different shards like Mothership Raid, Hamidon, costume contests etc you can throw out a desire to join an SG and there is a high probability of an invite. Not guaranteed, but many of the organisers of those events are in open SG's.

	It might be the sound files you are using are old and not compatible?

	I was going to paste the same link 😛

	I'm assuming it's not on the 1st of December then.....
- 
	I'm mostly skipping Christmas. I'll pop to my sisters for dinner at 1pm, open presents at 2pm, home for 3pm. CoX till 6.25pm, then Doctor Who Christmas Special at 6.30pm.

	But the event might be 1st December or it might be after server maintenance on the 5th.

	The official first day of winter is 23rd December...... Edit: I always get it wrong, the solstice which is the official first day of winter is around the 21st/22nd December

	It's a weird one, but this is the best place to post so the devs can take a look under the hood.

	  lost access to original e-mail accountGM Crumpet replied to Mr. Apocalypse's topic in Help & Support Good advice form Unintentive. If you can access the forum account it's easy enough to change the email address in the account settings. If you can't access the forum as you've forgotten the password then send a ticket in from in game for the relevant account (that helps us to verify it's you) and give us as much info as you can. Account name, global name, an alt name you played recently that isn't the one you are sending the ticket from. Plus the old email address if you remember it and the new email address you want to change it to. Basically we ask for lots of information so we can be sure it's actually you. If you can't access the game as you don't remember the password then basically the same information from an account you can log in with. We'll then check the IP address to see if it's the same for both accounts. And hope you don't use a VPN 😛

	  Pavel Garnier will not give me the "The Vahzilok Plague" story arcGM Crumpet replied to carroto's topic in Help & Support Does he offer you missions? Then you can abandon and redo until you get the ones you want. Or you can do it through Ouroboros if that isn't working

	Oh sorry, I didn't mean to be snarky if that's how it came across. I'm the worst person in the world at doing good builds so I rely on others to point out if it can be better. I saw your comments and checked out the changes you mentioned, but the overall result (according to mids) is about the same. If there had been a noticeable benefit I'd have changed it round. As it is, both builds are viable and one isn't going to suffer appreciably against the other so for me I don't feel there is a benefit to changing. Now if your build was seriously worse in places than mine I'd be trying to persuade you to do it differently, but its your call and not mine to make. There might be a must-have power you love and want so something else has to give, and that's absolutely fine. If it's a matter of different slots and enhancements being moved around to maximise your survivability then it's a different conversation.

	Don't worry about it. The guys are just messing with you. Everyone has issues where it's a simple solution. But as nobody has mentioned it, have you tried exiting SG mode? 😛
- 
	Short version: Because Laucianna told me to.... 😛 Long story, Photon Seekers because they need a KB to KD. The rest because the goal was to make Light form permanent as much as possible andI'm not very good with mids except to use it as a template to slavishly copy someone elses build. So Laucianna tells me to do it this way, that's what I do. I went into mids and looked at my stats with my build Then made the changes you suggested There isn't really a huge difference. Some bits are better, some worse. As I said, this is my build and people can copy it or use it as a base to tinker with for their own personal play style and requirements. I do well in missions and teams, I don't annoy anyone with too much knockback, and I don't die very often 🙂

	Nice wish list. I'd love to say "well done you've nailed it". But I can't.

	In fairness I often copy/paste wiki answers to questions like that

	  Any teaser what is being worked on? (archived)GM Crumpet replied to Troo's topic in Open Beta Testing Oh PaPs 😁

	The wiki isn't too helpful, but this is what it says Kheldians naturally thrive off the energy and essence of their teammates. Warshades' absorbing nature allows them to draw on the power of their teammates' power to increase their own. Your Damage Resistance will increase for each nearby Tanker, Mastermind, Corruptor or Defender teammate. Your Damage will increase for each nearby Scrapper, Sentinel, Stalker, Brute or Blaster teammate. Each nearby Controller or Dominator teammate will grant you limited Protection from Control effects. Finally, each nearby Peacebringer, Warshade, or teamed Arachnos Soldier or Widow grants you some resistance to attack time slow effects. You cannot put Enhancements in this power. the game detailed description says

	I have aspergers and find if someone shows me I get it really quickly. If someone gives me a book on how to do it I'm no wiser once I finished. Presentations with slides and examples works, but again it's the visual thing with actual pictures of what I need to know. Working security we generally have visual aids and practical training. It's all in a folder for easy reference, but I mostly use it for door and alarm codes in rarely entered areas. I learned everything I needed to learn following an experienced guard round and watching what he did.
