Tri Form WS Build critique

[Sirken1138]

Hey folks,

I am trying to put together a final build for my WS and would like some feedback. The build below is geared towards maximum recharge for perma eclipse, perma sunless mire, double dwarf mire, perma hasten, and triple Extraction. Stygian Circle is on a 7 second recharge so I can full heal off every mob. Quasar is down to 35 seconds for a quick fire off every other mob or so. KB protection is up to 28 pts(overkill but eh if you can why not?) After recharge I went for +HP to make benefit the resist and heal powers.

 

In any event, if you guys can see any glaring holes or even micro adjustments that can maximize the build, I would really appreciate it. This is my main character and I would like to give it every advantage. 

 

Thank you, everyone. I appreciate your help and suggestions.

Before anyone drills me for it, I did end up changing the 6th slot in Quasar to  the Sudden Acceleration Knockdown proc. I currently have it slotted and love the way I can keep mobs inside my kill zone

Some thoughts:

- 28 points of knockback protection is really excessive and you could use different procs in those slots - Dark Nova can take the Gaussian's proc or the Perf Shifter proc, you'll want a slow resist IO somewhere, etc.

- I get that you've slotted Stygian Circle for bonuses but you can really slap a recharge or an end/recharge in there and call it a day.  With 2 bodies it refills your health with no enhancements and with 4 bodies it refills your endurance.

- Similarly, thanks to Stygian Circle you can put a Panacea Proc into Health and save a slot there - recovery bonuses are great usually but when you have access to so much end, why spend the slot? (i guess if you exemplar really low and don't have Stygian, but that's pretty niche)

- I'd slot Ebon eye over Dark Nova Bolt but I wouldn't put any slots in either, as you have so much recharge that you can just cycle Blast/Emanation/Detonation in Nova form pretty much

- Strongly consider putting KB to KD procs in Gravitic Emanation, Unchain Essence, and the 2 Nova AoEs. (perhaps with the slots you saved from Stygian Circle or Dark Nova Bolt)

 

Here's a few builds if you want to take a look at them. 

The first is my current Tri-Form Warshade on Excelsior, Novaclipse.  I built for 32.5 S/L defense and also wound up with perma hasten, 3 pets, 38 second quasar, etc.  I'd like to improve this build by swapping the Positron's Blast in Unchain for Ragnarok, and 4 slot Gravitic Emanation with damage procs, force feedback, and KB to KD, but this is pretty close to the final build and I may prefer to spend the resources on a different character (the cost of 5 purples still goes a long way).

If you choose not to slot for defense (as you've done) then you free up a LOT of slots for more damage procs, even more recharge, etc.  Here's the same build but slotted for maximum recharge.  I'd do further tweaking if this were my actual build (for example, you can then get away with only one slot in Hasten).  Warshades can really stuff a LOT of recharge. . . . almost all of the powers that will be taking 4+ slots will accept a wide variety of recharge bonuses.  (Everything except Eclipse, really).  You could fit even more recharge if you put a Basilisk's Gaze or something into Gravity Well but once you've built for THAT MUCH recharge you should just stuff it full of damage procs (average damage over 1k with both mires maxed out, lmao).

Just a heads up, I know Nova Emanation says it does knockback, but it doesn't. This is a long-standing (like since khelds were introduced) text bug in the power. Only the Detonation one does kb.

By golly, you are correct.  Time for another respec - thanks for the free slot! 💕
