Which Skills to use Ghost best

[Hadesdareal]

Hi Guys

Because of i had some extra PED i bought myself a complete Ghost (no footies) as a future investition.
I talked to some folks and they told me that i have at least 1500 - 2000 evade to use it properly.
Is that right ? Which other skills would be usefulto chip ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

well, ghost decays quite alot and to be able to hunt with it you need atleast 2000 in evade, other skills might be rifle so you can fire at the mobs before they can start to hit you

edit:
for footies, buy zombie, cheap (L) armor and almost as good as ghost!

You'll need some foot guards of comparable protection to get good use of your ghost. What people are trying to tell you about the skills is that you're going to run up a huge decay bill if you try to hunt mobs above your level, and if you're a beginner, mobs that require ghost-level protection are probably above your level.

So, they recommend Evade because you will not get hit as much and your ghost won't decay as much. A couple other ok skills to chip that make you a better evader are Combat Reflexes and Courage.

I would say better advice is to just put away the ghost and use some less protective armor (and hunt lower mobs) until you have skilled up naturally to level 10-15 Evader, but that's not going to happen overnight.

BTW, chipping Evade to 2k will move a beginner to level 5 Evader.

You need no skills to use armors. But the less evade you have the more often mobs hit you and the more you armor decays. With evade < 1500 your repair bills for ghost might be awful. But on the other hand, armor is created to protect, so it's your choice - bigger mobs, stronger armor and more decay or lesser mobs (e.g. in rascal) and a lesser cost.

As usual Doer has the answer and in all detail that you can ask for

Hi Guys

Thx for the fast reply.
As i said i dont use Ghost right know (future investiton)
Right now i use a shogun with 2A and im happy with it.
But i thought to take the challenge to hunt a little bit bigger mobs and to chip in a little bit.
What would 2000 evade cost me about??

They mean a high evade skill to use it more economically. Thats true for all armours really, the higher your evade skills the less often you will be hit by mobs thus you take less decay. In answer to your question, I would say combat skills, medical skills. Combat skills - The higher these are, the bigger range of weapons available to you to kill a mob faster thus less decay as the mob has less time to attack in which decay your armour. Medical skills - The higher these are, the bigger range of vivos/faps available to you to spend less time healing and more time killing thus minimizing the time left open for mob attack without ur own attack, again killing it faster.

Choosing the right mob to hunt is more important, if its taking you too long to kill a mob yet your taking 1.0 damage per hit then you combat skills are too low/weapon is too small and the armour your wearing is over protecting you. The ideal mob you can take down efficiently with the weapon you have (I would say down to half health before it has even reached you) and does 1.0 - 10.0 per hit.

The main reason these "folk" say to have around 1500 - 2000 evade tho is the economy of ghost armour is not too great at all, just don't go tt fisting atrox wearing it

Try jdegre's Chipping Optimizer Tool to answer all your chipping in/out cost questions.

Well... Since we cant realy see the effect of this or this skill on our material in this game, i say try it and look ur ped card after a hunt.
If its too hard, re fit ur ancient armor.

I agree with what everyone has said, just wanted to add one remark. Alot of people mentioned how much decay ghost will take and how expensive it is to repair. This is true but dont get discouraged. It remains one of the best deals in the game for the protection offered when considering protection offered, original price, and decay.
