The best trait for ghostblade is the skill ghost retracer, it allows the ghostblade to instantly teleport to the ghost on the field( the ghost type skills will summon the ghost for a short duration), so utilize the timing and teleportation to the advantage !

Talisman Selection in level 110

Fiend Dance talisman:

Must have no context!

Makes the skill castable solely without staying in place for 3

Seconds! Big dps

These 3 talismans are the best upon the author’s experiences when going towards end-game and etc….

If any other personal preference, welcome to switch between the talismans

Soul Strike talisman:

activates combo possibilities and flexibilities to the player

These choices are closely similar on different pure damage gear variations.

Culmination build uses the same talismans.

TP build/aspect-weapon:

14 of 23

Culmination weapon Low level skill build

Ghostblade’s culmination weapon enables him to be more combo oriented around the skill ghost step, any swordsmanship skills can now reset the cooldown on ghost step. The build is to utilize as many ghost step as possible to deal consistent damage over a period of time. Main source damages are lower level skills.

The downtime on the skills are very low and nearly every second are in actions.

Does take a long time to practice and optimize
