Help for Human Only WS

[TygerDarkstorm]

Hello Kheld peoples. Like the title says, I'm looking for help with building a Human Only WS. She's at level 50 and I would like to give her some love, but even though I have Mids and do gobs of reading on these forums, making a build intimidates the crap out of me, lol.

 

Since I know it's easier to help if I give some general ideas of how I would like to use the character, here is where I'm leaning.

-I know you can use things like dwarf to break out of mez, but if possible, I'd like to avoid that route; I do genuinely prefer playing as human only even though I know that's considered a more gimped playstyle

-I do have my KB powers converted to KD (still grateful to the person who gifted me one of the KB -> KD IOs early in my shade's career to make the TF or whatever it was we were doing less painful without me exploding groups).

-I team exclusively on this character, so solo needs don't need to be considered.

-I was reading that recharge seems to be pretty important

-I don't need an extra travel power; TP doesn't bother me and is inherent on the WS

-At the moment I have Combat Jumping, Tough, Weave, & Maneuvers (on top of the shield secondaries); I'm not sure if this is overkill (nothing is slotted with sets really yet)

-I tend to go for theme/fun over min/maxed, though I do still want to have a functional character that contributes to their team

-I would like to be able to exemp with this character, if WS's exemp okay

-I am not rich, so please no uber expensive sets for now

-Incarnate suggestions? Looks like I'm still in the process of unlocking Lore, Destiny, & Hybrid and currently have Musculature Radial Alpha, Might Judgement, and Diagmagnetic Radial Interface. I have no idea if these are decent; like I said, I tend to pick for theme and sort of guess if they're helpful based on the descriptions.

 

Thank you in advance for any help and I hope that's enough info to work with. 🙂

Howdy!  I don't always take Hasten on builds, but for Shades they rely so much on siphons, Extract, and Quasar it’s very hard to skip it.  Perma-Hasten really changes how effective your Shade will be at 50.

 

The big powers are: perma-Eclipse, Extract Essence, and Quasar.

 

Stygian Circle and Gravitic Emanation are almost never skippable either.  You can look at any of my builds on here for how I slot them.  You can turn Gravitic into a perma-Stun shotgun, basically.

 

The one shield I would recommend is Gravity Shield, as it will keep you safer during exemping low where you won’t have Eclipse.

 

Attacks I like are Blast, Detonation, and Gravity Well.  Those plus Gravitic and Quasar are all you need in a high recharge build.
