  1. I really enjoy when other players answer my questions and offer me advice based on their hard won experience. This allows me to consider their experiences when I make decisions that could affect my enjoyment of the game. I have no need for you to decide for the community if we are even allowed to discuss our experiences of the game. Take your speech control somewhere else.
  2. Here is Nikki Style's background: Nikki was captured while walking home from school and was taken to Dark Astoria to be sacrificed. Style, a nictus, was sleeping in a crystal nearby. Style was awoken by Nikki's pain. Style destroyed the cultists. Nikki had been seriously wounded before Style arrived. To save Nikki's life, Style merged his life force with Nikki's. This is how the Warshade, Nikki Style, was born. Nikki Style is approaching level 50 so she has been designing an end game build for herself. Role - Nikki Style runs a Tri-form build. The human form is mostly for buffing and travel. Dark Nova is the primary DPS form (pew pew). Black Dwarf is mostly used when incoming damage or mezzes are too strong and Nikki needs more survivability. The Black Dwarf Mire will also be used for buffing. Nikki will probably use Human and Dark Nova most of the time and Black Dwarf will be used more situationally. All three forms are pretty much fully slotted out, though. Build Focus - Nikki Style focused on Recharge and Defense. She was able to get a respectible 158.75% Recharge. Hasten is 6 seconds short of perma which doesn't seem too bad. Eclipse is perma and Nikki should have three Extracted Essences out most of the time. When Nikki runs into the mob in human form with her toggles on she has 45.4% Melee Defense and 42.9% S/L Defense. This should allow Nikki to buff up in safety before switching forms. When Nikki is in her forms she has 39.1% Melee Defense and 36.6% S/L Defense. This defense should reduce a lot of incoming damage and is easily soft cappable with a small purple. Tid Bits - Between Shadow Cloak, Super Speed, and the Celerity Stealth IO Nikki has many options for stealthing missions or entering mobs unseen before unleashing buff powers and attacks. - Nikki took Unchain Essence, Quasar, Inky Aspect, and Gravity Shield for running with quick moving teams. This will allow Nikki to stay in Human form more often than normal to avoid the delays form switching and toggling back up. Hopefully these powers can create something of an attack chain when combined with the other Human powers like Gravity Well, Gravitic Emanation, Sunless Mire, etc. - Nebulous form is a nice panic button to get Nikki out of a tough spot. Nikki can then use Stygian Return when she forgets to use Nebulous form......ahem *cough* Happens more than you would think. - Burnout seems like a nice way to get an extra Extracted Essence out before a tough fight.....or as many as possible all the time. Long recharging powers will benefit from Burnout as well. Nikki is still figuring out when it is most beneficial to use Burnout. - Ebon Eye and Dark Nova Bolt are only there if you need a filler attack (slows/exempting). These powers are unslotted. The primary powers have enough Recharge that attack chains should be full in normal situations. I.e. the three big Dark Nova attacks have enough recharge they should have no trouble filling out an unbroken attack chain. Drawbacks - Most of Nikki's powers have very little Endurance Discount. Hopefully, Nikki will have enough Endurance recovery that Stygian Circle can wait until after the mob is subdued (arrested). Nikki is worried that she may have to drop into human form to use Stygian Circle mid-fight or risk running out of Endurance. This can be mitigated by selecting Agility Core Paragon which increased Endurance Discount, Recharge (always useful), and Defense. Since almost all of Nikki's defense comes from set bonuses, she won't benefit much from the Defense portion of this Incarnate power, though. - Nikki has done nothing to fill the Psionic Resistance hole. To get much benefit Nikki would have to dedicate a quite a few slots to achieve significant Psionic Resistance. Also, almost no effort was put into Mez Resistance either. - Slots are always tight on a Warshade build. Nikki would have liked to fit in more Procs. A couple of Force Feedback procs would have been helpful, plus a few damage procs could strenthen the damage output. If Nikki moved the slots out of Brawl this would reduce her Defense but give her the chance to slot in some procs or to have the flexibility to move some IO sets around. - Only a couple of powers were able to take advantage of franken-slotting. Nikki's focus on Recharge and Defense forced many powers to use most of the slots to get a set bonus instead of maximizing the power's stats. Below is the build Nikki is working towards. If you see major errors or opportunities for improvement, please leave her a comment. Nikki is interested to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

  3. My toons mainly use two costume slots. The first is for traveling and I try to make it look fast in some way (wings, rocket boots, etc.). The second is for fighting in missions. I use macro's that automatically switch between the two when I turn on/off my travel powers.
  4. Hi all, I have created a new shiny Warshade and would like to start in one of the Tutorial zones. After creating the character I get dumped directly into Atlas Park. There was no option to visit the Tutorial. General question: How do "normal characters" enter the Tutorial at the end of character creation? Warshade question: Is it possible for Warshades to enter the Tutorial at the end of character creation? Thanks! Tommy FYI - been searching the forum and WiKi but wasn't able to find an answer.
  5. @Tommy Truestar here from the old SG known as LES (League of Extraordinary Superheroes). Ran a lot as Brutus Steppenwolf (Energy/Energy Blaster). Hi to everyone I used to run with back in the day. Good times!
