I just completed putting together a build very close to clams, and with just 1 mu boss and 1 lut I my end was zapped away with stuns constantly landing I needed dwarf to break free but couldn't. The -recovery was hitting often enough I couldn't do anything. Would you mind sharing your version of the build please? Feels really weak so far (at least the way Im playing it) compared to my defense build.
... attempting a few more tries and I just can't make it happen. Any knockback that is applied to Mu is negligible. As other mobs are hitting the floor they appear to keep on attack... so if kb is happening its not helping me.
This build has such little psi resist also makes it very difficult to leverage between Mu mobs, and psi mobs. If I pull them to a corner there is a some hope but still feeling off.
I just tested my little modified version of the build too and whilst Rikti at +4/x8 solo were easy as ever, Arachnos on the same difficulty however were killer, would have to pop a purple to boost my def enough to make it all the way through.- Lauci x

It does, they just don't play the same animations normal humanoid enemies do and don't ragdoll. think of it like when you get hit with KB while flying, its less impactful but not nothing.
Not so, -end only impacts your existing endurance on cant stop you from doing anything if you act before it hits you and -recovery can only negatively impact what i quoted if you fall below the 100% base. Given the VAST majority of Mu attacks ONLY apply -end, and the ones that do apply -recovery only last 4 seconds, you need to be facing multiple Mu Bosses before the -recovery becomes a critical issue.
Recovery% defines the time it takes to get an endurance tick, not how much endurance you actually get, you ALWAYS get 1/15th of your max endurance back on a tick. At base 100% that tick occurs once every 4 seconds, Clam's build brings it over 200% recovery which puts it at every 2 seconds.
Now consider the cost of shapeshifting, there is no activation cost, its just the first tick of its maintenance cost. Mids will show it uses .26 endurance per second, but it actually ticks twice a second, the activation cost of your transformation is 0.13 endurance BEFORE factoring in any endurance reductions you might have.
If I am not messing up my proc logic, the chance of a performance shifter proc occurring when you activate your transformation is about 25%, that means that on average you can pay 0.52 endurance to gain 10 endurance (or more if your max end is higher from accolades). This lets you bootstrap from a single endurance tick to a workable amount in about 4 server ticks, which is a fraction of a second. That is as much 'tactics' as you need, and that's only if you actually crash which is highly unlikely since if you are animation canceling to weave your powers, you are constantly rolling that performance shifter proc chance. As an aside this is why Power Transfer is in there as well, the PT proc actually alone means that this build can spam shape shift to heal at rate almost on par with Instant Healing on a regen scrapper.
Casually = little effort. I only play on +4x8, i get bored at that difficulty, let alone anything lower.
Basically you shift forms so fast that you proc endurance faster then they can drain it whilst firing off attacks and killing them ❤️

Just checking out the additions to the guide and wow you've added a bunch.
Statement & Question though:
"Power Pools:
- Force of Will - Not seen anyone use this as there are better pools. ...."
FoW can be very powerful, as my main build is currently using it. I'm more easily able to solo +4x8 arachnos and carnies with it.
I'm curious to know what you'd recommend that i use instead since there are better pools that I may achieve the same solo content?Also glad to see you added "- White Dward Flare, 80% chance of 0.7 KB. No mitigation needed, unless you’re fighting a lot of low-level targets."
I don't know why but when I said that in discord the information wasn't received.
What in Force of Will are you using hun? And what are the other power pools you already have?- Lauci x

Fixed 5 max cap on 9% Accuracy and 2.5% Recharge. Removed a slot from Dwarf drain, 3 LotG & 2 Kismet in Maneuvers to lose 1 LotG Acc bonus, in Eclipse switched Impervium to Unbreakable to fix 2.5% recovery max cap.
This is my first effort to understand Set bonuses and while I know there was a cap of 5 per, I did not realized I got every bonus in a set- I thought I just got one bonus per set until I looked at the build share Set Bonus Totals.
GM Crumpet There are a lot of powers for Warshade to choose from, but for me 8 of them were redundant when I have Nova and Dwarf, so I took 4 +Def pool powers and leave Resistance to Dwarf and Eclipse, then leave Bolt, Blast, Det and Emanation to Nova. Essense Drain is in Dwarf, as are Twilight and Penumbral Shields. I don't like Grav Snare. I can resurrect with P2W Return to Battle without Stygian Return and both bring me back without all my toggles so the plan is to not need a res in battle- just stay alive long enough to use Stygian Circle and Eclipse. I learned to love my other powers so my attack rotation is full and all used.I look forward to more input. I may be ready for a repec by next week once I hear from some more people.
That's 100% looking a lot better! And yeah if you use the powers it's fine to have slots in them 😄 I personally only use 3 st attacks, 3 aoes, and the two nukes on PB hence why I was just making sure as we can never have enough slots as a Triform Kheldian lol. And like @GM Crumpet said about picking the powers you want, you may pick powers I swear against but if you want to use them then pick them 🙂 After all this is YOUR Kheldian and no one elses, we can just offer our opinion when asked ❤️- Lauci x

My Mids is playing up and for some reason and won't let me updated as it's moving some sets around to be impossible, but cross comparing it to the picture you posted there is a few things:
- Resistance, With Eclipse your resistance is normally sorted with only a few slots and hitting a few enemies, so you could save some slots in that power (I have my Lightform version 4 slotted) and with powers like Absorption and Shadow Cloak you could swap out the extra resist procs for an extra slot and another Kismet to boost your accuracy (As hitting things is essential to a WS)
- Attack slots, I don't know what your attack rotation is but you have a lot of slots spread out amongst attack powers, if you use all of them great! But if you find yourself not using powers as much you could slot them in your other attacks to limit how many attacks you need on your bar and increase the damage of powers you do use 🙂
- Form enhancements, Now depending on how much time you spend in the form depends on what you slot here, if you are quickly in and out of forms a build up proc in nova and end proc in dwarf is a good choice, if you are spending a lot of time in the form then things to boost the forms key boost is good (to hit for nova, hp for dwarf) as your eclipse will carry into the form and boost your Resistant to cap stillWithout being able to see the build probably (Error on my end lol) I couldn't suggest more, but overall it looks like a good build just feels a little spread too thin for my personal taste 😄

I figured since some folks werent sure what this was I would upload a video.
This was a pretty average run. The personal best was about 7 seconds faster before I gave up on the build, when the 'rework' was announced.
Edit: Woops just noticed Luciana posted a video guide already. Regardless though I did see one thing I disagree with. The statement was made that a PB cant compete with damage ATs with changeling set ups. As demonstrated above PBs can hit a level where only the most optimized of dps ATs can compete.
That's an amazing job! I would love to see your build to see what kinda set up you are running as yeah that is amazing damage hun!- Lauci x

Why put a second slot in Hasten rather then put a 6th slot in White Dwarf Strike and get the full 6 slot bonus with Mako's Bite? Also why not full slot Photon Seekers with the full set of Soul bound Allegiance? Why put slots into light form and Essence Boost rather then max White Dwarf with Unbreakable Guard?
The second slot in Hasten makes it close to perma (1 sec downtime) alongside the Agility Alpha, personally I wouldn't use Nova Bolt and use them slots to get the 6 slot bonuses in that some other powers but Crumpet wants that power so it's up to them 🙂 Photon Seekers is yeah to stop the KB effect, White dwarfs main use once you get perma lightform is to taunt, melee attack, and break out of stuns, lightform will cover your resists completely. I would change one of the heal enhancements in Essence Boost to recharge to make that perma too but I don't like to rely on it as a heal since it has a super long cooldown ❤️ Hope that helps clear up some of the reasons

Kheldians in human form are similar to Sentinels, except they don't get mez protection. You can kinda use punch/cross punch/(havoc punch from electric mastery, smite/engulfing darkness from dark mastery, or midnight grasp from soul mastery) to give you some of melee attacks as well.
This lol, I am still in the mind that Sentinels were made due to Kheldians being too complicated to develop as they both fill a similar role- Lauci x

can lightform be activated while in white dwarf form?
Can't be activated whilst in the form, however if you activate it and then switch you still get it's benefits (Just like with Hasten or Essence Boost)
