I get destroyed by good hdins.No matter what i use.
Just cant damage him enough due to max block when he jumps me.Many times i dont even land one hit.
Its a matter of time until i make a mistake and eat 2-3 hammers


i mean theres nothing u can do but practice...

hdins arent the easiest opponents for ghost sins, but deff beatable.

its one of those match ups based on "reflex" and doing the right thing at the right time. (apply enough pressure, but not too much that u run into hammers etc)

Every hdin plays differently but check these out

basically, u will want to spam mb and wait for the hdin to attack you. carelessly chasing after or trying to stomp a hdin = death

you may even want to consider carrying a widowmaker in inventory (bo and switch to bo) to force him to attack u so u can ww away, etc.

Moritz was the best sin I've seen out of euro in all my years playing d2.
vids 1 and 2 are tienje

ghost vs hammerdin is funny. I used to duel somewhat differently vs them. sometimes spam a lot of mindblast off corner namelocks, I usually tried to play safer than tienje did. some use of blindspot dclaw vs tele-happy dins. lots of reading desync needed vs charging hammerdins.

Every decent ghost player knowns tienje. I followed his guide back in the day when i couldnt build one by myself..

But hes taking alot of risk telestomping the hammerdin.He got burned once. Pretty lucky that he didnt die with that style of play.I know in theory how to beat one , sometimes works and most of the times i bring him to low hp and make a fatal mistake.Duel over.
Relying on claw block to keep u safe vs something with that kind of damage is a longshot.

One Quick Question

Since i cannot get my hand on the zodbugged one i use a suwayyah with skill ads.
Now i ask you what is better for skiller ads:

Ls/Wof are my first and second skill add, now for the third one:

Is it better to get Blade Shield as a 3rd add and save 3 points and put 4 hard points in Dragon Talon, claw, tail and flight in order to get both Dragon Claw and Flight.
Skills Point Saves: 3 Blade Sentinel,Fury, Shield
Skills Point Spend: 4 Dragon Talon, Claw, Tail and Flight
Average: -1 but getting both Dragon Claw and flight.

Or the other way around:

Skills Point Saves: 4 Dragon Talon, claw, tail and flight
Skills Point Spend: 3 Blade Sentinel,Fury, Shield
Average: +1 but getting Only Dragon Flight not Dragon Claw

Is the extra skill point worth Dragon Claw?

Thx in advance.

3 Light Sentry/3 Venom/3 Fade is one claw to consider. You're saving 6 skill points there, while getting +Venom. Or if you really don't care for +Venom, then get 3 Weapon block instead. That saves you 9 points.

So i just tested dragonflight with a fools claw and i noticed that the ar boost from fools doesnt get displayed on the screen when i select df somehow
i speedbug making the fools primary
anyone ever had this problem?
or is this normal cause i can remember that this usually works
ar for ww did work after all but df has on both chaos and fools the same amount of ar O_o
