Thinking of making a ghost sin, not a hybrid or mosaic

Can anyone point me to a good guide?

102fcr build:
Griffon cham
Enigma
2 x fcr ring ar/str/dex/@/mana
Gores
Trangs
Arach
Amulet: 2sin/20fcr/@/life or dex

65fcr builds, there are 2 versions and it depends on ur claws:
2/20/30/visio/2soc cham + shael/ber/Lo/iasjewel
Enigma
1 of ur fcr rings
Wisp / raven / dwarf
Trangs
Arach
Gores
Highlords

Other type:
Guillaume 15ias/15@ and one cham and one Lo.
2/20/@/life ammu
1 of ur fcr rings
Raven / wisp / dwarf
Trangs
Arach
Gores

And then there is claws.
You want to use main hand runic, and offhand feral.
Its extreamly hard to know ur budget.
The main thing here is that ur physical damage will be low. Nomatter what.
So unless your claws are inzanly good, cb will in many cases be better.
And if your claws lack ias ur in trouble with the entire build.
And a eth zod claw with zero free soc is worse than runewords such as fury/chaos. And plague has ias issues.
So as a low claw:
Runic, fools, 40ias, 250+ ed, none eth, 2 soc is BerLo is highly usable.

Directionally correct.

A ghost should never be using runic. Way too low damage. When you 102, you are running BoS, and can reach max WW ias speed easily without ias from gear on war fist and suwayyah, or, at worse, needing to 15ias jewel your griff

For 65fcr builds, you have plenty of sources for ias to rock either a suwayyah or wrist sword base and that will give you signficnaly morw damage then runic

You should never be cham your circlet except for certain 102 builds where you cham griffon. For your Visio circl, you will either 1x 40/15ias or 2x 40/15is depending on rare claw base type and how much base ias it has

Ber is extremely overrated and provides less damage then 40/15max in weapon. Lo is now a reasonable choice over 40:15max given Lo works with blade skills and ghosts will use blade skills occasionally now.

But there has never been a good guide created. So the answer to how to build yours is “it depends on your budget and gear availability”

The only one that has all information and can contextualize your build to your budget, is me.

Budget is ~80k fg. I want a sin that is fast and deals max damage, high AR and can compete with barbs, pallys, zons

Ive seen you around I know you know what you're talking about when it comes to sins
