WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

Can you elaborate on "Face + Palm"? I am not familiar with those short names.

Long story short, the ghost is easily one of the best chars to get free DR. Wondering how to get it is understandable, but a bit strange to hear be asked if you're familiar with it enough.

:P

Gotcha, :thumbsup:

I feel kinda stupid now :) It never even occurred to me that you weren't refering to some slang for a unique or something... I can see how to get there now. Thanks everyone.



 
Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

Where is the best place to search for a white or socketed claw to make chaos with? Hell cows has plenty of normal quality items, no elite class claws yet. I've probably cleared 20 games worth too.

Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

Yeah, I am especially anxious to find one myself as the people that have moderate ones, nothing special even are asking for a HR... Like a Suwayah with +1 mind blast +1 shadow mast +1 random trap, 3OS.... I hope the values aren't that skewed.

What should I expect to pay for a good white claw, or a completed Chaos or Fury?


I am really excited to get my build done, level 85 "Scary_Monster", but right now I am hung up on obtaining the claws.

It is super hard to find anyone with a Chaos, Fury, or white claw to even join a game to ask to trade with.
 
Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

love this guide but don´t understand one thing; wich kind of claws I have to use in both weapon slots, could you say what you recomand? thanks :jig:
 
Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

Just thinking about all of the people using Fool's claws. Wouldn't a rare with Ignore Target's Defense be better than Fools? Does that mean you hit 100% of the time pretty much? Or does that not work in PvP?

Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

Are any of these worthwhile for anything (all found in hell cows):

Superior War Fist
50 to 60dmg
14% enhanced Dmg
2 to Attach Rating
1 to Mind Blast
1 to Lightning Century

Wrist Sword
51 to 67 DMG
+1 to Shadow Master
+2 to Dragon FLight
Etherial

Suwayyah
39 to 52 DMG
+1 to Wake of Inferno
3 open sockets

Battle Cestus
36 to 42 DMG
+3 to Mind Blast
+3 to Blades of Ice

The kind of claws really depend on type. Physical sins use the elites for more dmg, usually wsm bugging (in the guide) to use thw strong types. Venom ghosts dont really need them and go for some skill mostly. Budget also matters (venom oriented is cheaper, etc).

ITD does not work vs other players. Fools is the best way to increase the chance to hit.

Is this worthwhile for anything:
Superior War Fist (plain white, no sockets, found in Hell Cows)
50 to 60dmg
14% enhanced Dmg
2 to Attach Rating
1 to Mind Blast
1 to Lightning Century
Not really.


 
Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

Pardon my noob questions.

I am still a bit confused on how or where it says that fade actually produces damage reduction?

This skill says absolutely nothing about DR.

Reduce Curse Duration
Resist All (I'm assuming this means Fire, Light, Cold, and Poison)
Duration
Mana Cost

???????????????????

Is it just assumed that it does? Seems kind of odd that it doesn't say it. Or am I not putting 2 and 2 together here? :scratchchin:


Also I'm curious as to how the OP has reached such high WW damages? I am piecing a ghost together myself and am having trouble breaking even 3k WW damage. 2340/2972 top end damage for my fury/chaos setup (feral/runic). How in sam hell am I supposed to reach "3478-4610/2379-3214 WW Damage (Chaos/Fury)??????" Even 4,000/3000 seems like a long shot at this point.

Current gear setup is:

shako
fury/chaos weapons (feral/runic claws)
dusk nigma
treks
trang gloves
arachnid belt
214/20 ravenfrost
10 FCR | 119 AR | 50 psn dmg | 90 mana rare ring
Highlords

Still working on charms but I have...

a bunch of sc lifers
3 GC shadow skillers
2 x 5 FHR SCs
1 x 175 psn/15 life SC

I also have a 4/6 CTA and spirit monarch on switch for BOs.

I just feel like im missing something.

Am I supposed to have a bramble ready for prebuff at all times?

Will I make up for a lot of my damage with a bunch of 3/x/x SCs????

So freakin stumped right now- any help is appreciated. Thanks.
 
Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

From Arreat Summit:
Effect: An Assassin can will her physical being to shift partially into the astral planes. As her body becomes less substantial, she becomes less susceptible to the effects of elemental attacks and magical curses.

* Fade has a hidden bonus to Physical Resistance. Being hidden, it doesn't display on your character or on the skill. It is capped at 50%.
* Fade reduces Shrine duration by the same percentage as it reduces curse duration. To avoid shortend Shrine duration, cast Burst of Speed before touching the shrine; once you touched the Shrine, cast Fade again.
* Burst of Speed and Fade will not work at the same time.
The Dr% does indeed work, and works on the total level of fade when cast (+ skills work).

OP uses a physical based sin. An eth suwayyah, 3/20/20, etc does the trick. Also costly.

Bramble is not needed at all.

Dmg isn't an issue as much as you might think. In fact, your fcr is more important than dmg atm. I'd suggest hitting 65%. Without gosu claws and full 3/20/20, the highlords is better off as something else. Same with shako (fcr circ).

Only if you simply cannot kill something is dmg an issue, and even then, it might be how you're using it.
 
Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

Thanks for the response.

At the moment I am searching for a decent assassin circlet. I have found a few on Jsp but i'm not willing to pay some of the outrageous prices that they go for at this time (nor can i afford them haha). After I obtain this piece I will have 70 FCR.

I am trying to move towards a more physically based ghost, but maybe I should stick with venom specialty until I can obtain some better weapons? I am unfamiliar with the phrase "gosu claws," but I'm guessing it has something to do with uber eth-elite chaos/fury claws?

Will an Eth suwayyah not break over time?

What sort of pre-buff is typical for a ghost? CTA/Spirit combo? Or something else I may not know about?

Sorry about the nub questions- thanks for your patience.

Any 2sin / 20 cast / 2 socs will work to start with. Eventually get the ones with res, stats, etc if you can, but the basics work just fine.

Yep. ;)

His is a zod-bugged. It's eth, and indestructible, with chaos runeword.

Prebuff = Cast BC > Bo > fade > venom. CTA and spirit give 3 skills,so cast then unless the claws have 4+ to the venom / fade.


And I'm always glad to help if I can.
 
Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

I found a Scissors Suwayyah +1 MB, +2 light sentry, +3 Shadow Warrior, and Suwayyah +2 venom, +3 Wof, +1 fade.

I would like to confirm that I should use the suwayyah for the chaos.

Cheers

Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

Yes, to wsm bug, but the other must be a Runic Talon.

I like the first one tbh.

The other's good with another venom claw (2+)
 
Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

I have fury on runic +3 MB +1 cobra strike, and this Suwayyah +2 venom etc.. is for chaos. So, I should socket this suwayyah and not the scissors suwayyah?

Cheers

Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

Unless the runic has 2 or 3 venom (more skills than a cta + spirit), then the scissors with MB will be better off, if reqs still aren't an issue.
 
Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

i am not sure what to do with my extra skills

Skill Allocation

* Claw Mastery- 20 < have
* Venom- 20 < have
* Mind Blast- 20 < have
* Claw Block- enough for 60% < have
* Fade- pump until 50% DR with equipment
* Wake of Fire- 1 < have
* Lightning Sentry- 0 (1 if you like using LS or have extra points) <have
* Blade Shield- 1 < have
* Blade Fury- 1 < have
* Shadow Master- 1 < have
* Dragon Flight- 0 (1 if you really want it) < have
* All other prereqs- 1 < have

with enigma 8%dr + 24 from fade i have 32 should i spend those 18 skills points to get to 50 or is there something else better spending those points on
and i would still have like 6-8 skill points left over what do i do with those?

and i have a feral fury and runic chaos do i need to bugg awsm to get the trap speed bp?
 
Re: WW Ghost Assassin Guide V2.0

I max fade if I have enough left over simply for res and dr. Certainly go for the 50%, and if you have any left by then, probably just into Shadow master so she's at least a bit stronger. Fade is more important though.

EDIT: @ claws. It'd be easier, but wsm bugging those wouldn't do a whole lot. what gear and other IAS do you have?
