WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

After making a gold find barb, I'm finding the difference in ar/def/dmg not as large as I once thought. Granted, He's geared for gf and lacking in the charm department, But what do you guys typically expect ar/def/dmg of a pvp oriented barb to be?

You want to try to aim for atleast 9-10k on Bvc


 
Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

I was always paranoid of 30k barbs and rarely put in an effort to actively duel them when they hosted me. It's bad enough with the paladins, especially with holy shield and their blocking.

I really was surprised to see him below the 10k mark, I figured I'd hit that pretty easily, even in gf gear. His Ar was disappointing when equipping dual grief or grief/ss, tho he did better than my ik barb rune mule. Since dual grief doesn't seem to be a common setup, I was thinking maybe fury/grief for the ow. I'm not really expecting him to be amazing and considering I really don't want to do a full gear swap on him atm since he's doing quite well in his role of goldfinding, but my guess is my ghost can match up better than I thought.

He's more setup as a bvb or bva so a bit went into dex for the max block, but lifewise, ar wise, and damage wise my ghost was ahead. Granted the ghost is fully decked out vs the gheeds, torch and anni on the barb.

If your Ghost has more damage and life than your barb, TBH you just won't win much against competent duelers :/
Grief/Beast is the mainstream weapon setup for Bvcs.

I'm not expecting him to be super competitive since he's a goldfinder in nature. I probably should have put more into vit instead of dex for blocking since I don't know if I'll ever even bother converting him later down the line, but like I said, he's without charms. I had always figured the gap between barbs and sins was much bigger than the charm selection - Granted that's not the only improvement since he's still in full mf/gf gear.


 
Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

From my chars I know my sins hit 4.5+ and bvc hit 8K life. Ghost had 13K ar and barb 10K. barbs don't really show good damage since most of grief is hidden, but it's far more than a sin can put out.
 
Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

sigh, my ghost only hits around 3.6 but she doesn't have fancy shadow high lifers. Luckily for me, the primary targets huge life isn't as big an issue, but an extra 1k would be nice =)

Holy jailbait.

PS: I don't use lifers either, but I don't play closed, and only rarely play d2pk (socialize, and even then, it's getting rarer).


 
Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

Yeah I figured I might get into that since I would expect more challenge and less juvenile behavior but meh.

If you expect that, you're sadly mistaken. :(

It's the same as every where else, except some of the pubbers think they're better because their hammerdins have perfect gear :/

I just ran the numbers under the calculator at ingame.de - ok grief does a ton more damage than the lcs gives, so when the gf barb is equipped, he isn't as bad off as I thought.

Ok so the gap between barbs and ghost is a lot more like I originally thought.


 
Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

i followed your guide(very nice, gg!), what do you think about this setup?

sandstorm treak (boots)
enigma dusk shroud (armor)
mara (amulet)
ravenfrost (ring)
bulkathos (ring)
arachnid(belt)
trang oul(gloves)
griffon eye(helm)
fury and chaos (claws)

along with annihilus, hellfire and other charms that grants me +FHR.
 
Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

Well, at least you hit the 65% bp.

What kind of claws are you using? Are you hitting the 9 frame trap speed as well?



That's a very basic ghost, but I'm sure you'd be surprised at how well it can still function. :P
