hello gents, I‘m a newbie making my first Ghost,

just 2 simple questions, i hope it's not too silly :)

1. foucs on OW+venow instead of phsical damage worth a shot? because I dont' have a high dam rare claw, XD

using chaos+fury+dracul, can have 91OW + 50OW, and when using dragon flight, we might trigger LT.

And circlet+amulet+arachnid+1ring = 65fcr, is this a reasonable set? I just dont see anyone recommending the 25ow from dracul... so i'm in self-doubt, XD

2. giving shadowmaster a hardpoint so you can give her BC+BO, necessary?

thanks

This has been gone over loads of times.
1. Physical damage deals more damage than poison.
Because poison u can have 75pr and 75plr. But mostly People have 75pr and -100plr. People can have max 50% dr, but many dont even have that. Physical damage is also affected by critical hit and deadly strike. Which means it has a chance to double.
2. A ghost can focus on both, and now with less stunlock and less trap synergies u could focus on both.
3. Focusing on psn, but not wearing Trang oul's is not really to focus on psn. Its more than 25% increase, its 25% when casted, then 25% again when attacking.
4. Ghost without trap dmg is not the same as d2lod due to lack of stunlock, better to build a hybrid/spider.
5. Lvl 1 shadow master minimum.

Yes. Both barb and pala can cold you. When cold, you lay traps slower. Why in the hell are you losing max trap speed for 8dr, especially considering how easy it is to reach high DR on a sin.

The amount of complete nonsense you type about sins is astounding.


why do you act like this? it isn't normal to act this way lol.

he has a thread and is helping people.... it's fine to disagree but it doesn't take much to have abit of respect when communicating lol

Great, a verteran answerd me! thank you sir~

ok, understand phsical > posion, I was assuming i can't afford a Rare claws. guess i might have to precast with trangs and bramble... and 2 plague claws with 10 venom.

hardpoint on shadow master, my nightmare finally come true, after MAX trap synergies / claw mastery / venom, I will need up to Lv98 to give 1 point to each shadow skills,'Oh no...'

Even if you can’t afford a rare fools or cruel claw, using fury/plague you still want to focus on physical damage, because the poison damage is going to have a ceiling on damage delivered for all the reasons already mentioned.

That’s a lot of precast, are you making a sin for just pub games or sin v sin?

90% of texts you post are wrong, hateful or irrelevant lol. You dont need cbf at all vs barbs or palas if you dont plan to whirl them at all. The slow effect from their raven hold like 0.5sec and meanwhile u get that hit u anyways dont wanna lay a trap but escape tele / out move the attack. And ofc you dont lose any traplay speed breakpoints because you play as a smart hybsin with 2 trap claws (2 sin 3 ls 30+ ias 2os mh gt/rt with 2 shael to even overstack arach slow / 2 sin 3 ls 2os gt/rt oh) that way u reach 13k ls, msx 9fpa speed traplaying even after arach slow (since some use lo + wisp instead tg) and u never be effwcted be the jokeable 0.5sec of raven or a cold dmg sc, because the slow itself dura is based on the cold dmg numbers. As higher cold dmg as longer dura slow but as i said even a raven does not effwct ur traplay at all with that 0.5sec cold slow and only fools who never played d2r or play competitive would use wasted cbf here. It always shows that you be a stuck with ur d2lod midnset and theorys but never stepped into actual d2r pvp otherwise u wouldnt spread so much obv wrong info lol.

pub game mostly.

if I go for phsical dam, still feels like a weaker version of Barb if I don't have higher OW.

so i'm thinking how to increase phsical dam but still keep dracul and maintain 65fcr, a 20Fcr circlet 3os jeweled with 45IAS 110+ED, 15+fcr amulet, arachnid, 1ring will give 65fcr, and 45IAS will allow me to use higher dam claws to make chaos/fury, wrist sword + Suwayyah.

doable? it's probably been tested already XD. should I switch shadow skiller to DAM/AR/Life GC?

No they’re not you make assumptions, jump to you own conclusions all the while making yourself look like an arse by assuming what other people know. In reality it makes you seem insecure about your own knowledge or just generally unhappy as a human being. You need help man.
