I use a 113 Dex Required Feral claw, I will have to stat some dex anyways...

Let me do this for my character specific: If I use gores, I will not need to stat points (I currently have ~9Points into Strength to use spirit). But I will lose 25 Dex. Adding in the 15Dex ring instead of the Str one (I will have 132Str/146 for eth spirit), I will end up using 15 total stat points (14str, 1dex) for a total of 45 life

If I were to use 2x 12fhr/shadow Grand Charms, I would end up switching out my 2x 45 life Shadow GCs instead of all the 32020s. 6x 32020s = 120life, 2x 45 = 90life. Then I will lose another 20life from the loss of a SC for a 3/20/5fhr, but keep my ar.

90+20+45 = 155 Life (Before Bo). After BO, I estimate I will lose around 250-300life?

I would keep my UmUm Fools, and gain the benefits from Gores. I think with 37% from highlords and 15% from gores that will be enough. If i need more, I could always just slap on the gface (and switch on 2x 45s + 32020 to get my life back)


Pros:
+15% CB
+15% DS
+10% OW

Cons:
-250-300Life
-2 Shadow Skills (Block and DR may suffer)
-Kick damage

I would have to test them and see how they work out... but from the looks of it, doesn't seem TOO bad... However, how much will the extra 15% here and there help me is the question O.o Unless you plan on keeping circlet on 24/7, gface, already offers 35% CB (1/3 hits) and 15% DS (37+15 = 52%, Crit = 23%)


Pros outweigh the cons IMO.
Plus, who the fuck uses kick on a ghost when you have dclaw, which is 500x better??

no i asked without eni and with that current setup

but yea it seems to be 103 although 93 without chaos
you had 9 statted str?


enigma is mageplate (which is like 55 or something str to wear) so it is ALWAYS on.

i cant count chaos cuz i need to bo without it. so it looks like 132/146 (for spirit) 14 points into strength needed

yea you deff bring up a VERY valuable point here...

And if i use this as my main AND gvg setup, I would not have to worry about statting those 2 points to cover up for the loss of shadow dancers as i'll be using circlet. the 2points from circlet, makes up for the 2points lost from dancers.


ahhh I see u had these stacked for the case you swap it in

anyways thats my oppinion on that
I also tested arround gores on a hybsin but that wasnt possibile cause of the lower dmg and the limited points
but on a ghost i would defenatly go for the gores

im not talking about using gores or anything

im just thinking that if you use dancers then there's no reason to use mp eni
AP would be better for gvg for sure, shame you have 1 str statted too much to be able to str bug it =/
this means that you need to click a few times to pick up corpse though, if you don't want that then probably the best idea would be to use wyrm eni, it still has like 200 more def than mp and you can wear it fine

gores might still be better though, dno

in my case specific like i said, if i choose your set up i would end up not using gface at all and just swap out 2x 45 life shadows for 2x 12fhr shadows + 1x 32020 for a 3205fhr

this let me keep my ar and skills constant despite the loss of dancers

the only change would be:
1) loss of ability to swap to gface (+20% CB, 48fhr BP) vs barbs and ghost v ghost
2) loss of ~250-300ish life overall
3) loss of kick damage (not much of a diff)
4) loss of a very small amount of ww damage from decrease of strength

1) gain of 15% DS
2) gain of 10% OW
3) gain of 15% CB

Question: Is it worth it for those minor gains overall for the 300 loss of life? (Which is a pretty large chunk).

I can see the benefits, but I'm not sure if it'll be better or worse in ghost v ghost duels.

Gores > Gface anyways. Same DS, added OW, CB sucks in PvP, nn mention.
300 life isn't much.
Kick damage is lol.
Small amount of WW damage can be made up from the increased chance to crit. I think you're forgetting that these bonuses apply to both claws, so your chaos gets a boost as well.
