I liked your guide (as usual) but I do have a couple suggestions.

BoS should be used against Necromancers. Fade has about 0 use in this duel. Poison Necros are a different story.

Blade Fury is a pretty good thing to use against the smiters who think it's a great idea to shift-smite hoping you'll WW right through them. You can also use a chance like that to stun lock them, but you can stun lock AND hit them with BF, which will force them to attack you.

But why  not use Chaos (feral/runic) + fury (suwayyah) since fury is gonna be main hand, why not make it in the highest dmg claw?


Chaos will still hit harder regardless... You should put all of your power in the chaos and try to save up fg to upgrade the fury into a fools.

of course... did i ever say that i do not use bos again necs? thats just common sense to use bos vs chars that u dont need res or dr against

and imo blade fury is too slow as it has a .5 sec delay right after you stop using it where you cant ww or tele away if the smiter attacks you.. if i was a smiter (and i play vt's) and i saw a ghost try to fury me, i would not stand still (i would charge away or at the sin and deal some damage) i use blade sentinel instead

The thing is, with Chaos Runic ill be able to use this claw and still reach 75 ias for the trap laying BP. I know its not the optimal Ghost claw, but ill like to give it a shoot, and still be able to use a fury Suwayyah. Hope you see my point.

Because typically when one uses suwayyah + feral/runic, you would WSM bug it. If you did it with those claws your chaos would be primary, which you don't want.
There's no reason to not WSM bug when using suwayyahs.

That makes sense, i just did not think anyone would wsm bug regular chaos+fury on a Ghost since its not like you need it. If you have a e-bugged chaos in a Suwayyah, its a nother thing.

???
The fact that it's bugged changes nothing but the damage. Does not change any mechanics whatsoever.

With regular claws fury should be main hand since its the claw with the best mods, so you dont wsm bug. If you have a e-bugged chaos, then that becomes the best claw and should be bugged to become mainhand and gain ias stack.

More damage doesn't mean it's the best claw.
