[HC] Ghost's Leveling/Race Guide (updated March 5th)

Pick up vulnerability for cursing. It's OP with poison arrow. Makes it do 40% more damage at base.

If you are using Bear Trap, why did you not pick up the Oak reward in Cruel? 12% Physical Damage is not something to scoff at given the scaling it has with BT.

To Fomante:

Yea, Thanks i'm going to edit the gear section now with a couple things.

To Lyralei:

Good point i'll add that as a option, since this is leveling i assume the player will pick what serves them better in there projected "endgame" build but ill make that clear.

updated alot of sections great feedback i feel like the build is 100x better now ;)

-tho sadly im playing alot more of my support/aura summoner :-p ill write a guide for that as well maybe tonight

Congrats for the baby ;), i'll give this a try thanks.

Thx again for this guide. I’m now at level 53 act 3 cruel and thought I’d share a few of my observations. Followed the build tree pretty much to the letter up to this point. This build has been fairly easy going and fun up until now. Let me start by saying I pretty much suck compared to most when playing video games.

I feel like I’ve hit the wall now in act3. Although I’m still levels above for the zone even with over 2.2k hp I feel like a glass cannon. PA no longer burns the mobs down fast enough and with the ones that have chaos resistance and regen it can be a real struggle getting them down having to use a lot of decoy totem, bear traps and vulnerability. If I had about 10 more skill points to spend at this time I would be about right .

Even though the build states it’s not gear dependent I found that it’s very gear dependent when you need that right socket combination for your skills. I guess people that enjoy trading or have a lot of gear already stored up will find getting the right gear easier. I wish that the vendors changed items as it really sucks to level your character, go to the vendor hoping for a better bow only to see lower level crap.

Given the difficulty I’m already facing I don’t see how this build will get very far in Merciless when those chaos resistant mobs become almost immune to PA and have more hp’s. I intend on testing out some of the other attack skills such as LA to see if I can kill the mobs any faster.

Was still a lot of fun for normal and midway through cruel.

edit: Forgot to mention that I play solo.
