Human Form Warshade Help

[Fista]

First I'm a filthy casual and don't have inf to burn. Second I don't use MIDS. I think its overly complex and not intuitive. It's probably great for min/maxers but not for me.

 

With that out of the way what is the conventional wisdom on power pics and slotting?  Shields over powers? Powers over shields? Evenly distributed slots? Something else?  What's the cheapest and most economical way to stop getting rag dolled? Economical in terms of power pics, slots and/or what goes in the slots.

 

I know I'll catch flack for crapping on MIDS  but I just don't get it. Probably something to do with my basic understanding of the game. Or WS. I find most archetypes and powers to be pretty self explanatory but man I just can't get this  toon to be effective solo or on teams. To solo I have to set it to negative level to stand a chance.

Getting Eclipse perma is goal number 1 as that is your main source of tankiness, using things like hasten and Luck of the Gamblers to get it there, I would also suggest some Blessing of the Zephyr enhancements to bump up your kb resist, as you can slot multiple in different powers 💛
