The “hit and run” style that was used in the past, where people built their sins based on high venom damage and weak physical is outdated and ineffective with modern day gear. In contrast to what many people think, the key success to a Ghost Assassin is not so much as having high Venom damage and Open Wounds, but a powerful Physical Whirlwind in conjunction with venom and open wounds.

With that being said, you will still be able to beat the majority of your uphill battles – even against the Ghost Assassins’ worst nightmare, the “WW Barbarian” This gives them a huge edge over casters, but puts them at a slight disadvantage against high defense opponents like Paladins and Barbarians. Where they lack in trap damage, they make up for with powerful WW damage, better Attack Rating (AR), and an enhancement to one of the assassin’s most valuable abilities – Stun. Unlike Hybrid Assassins who use a mix of traps and WW, Ghosts focus on the pure aspects of whirlwind and high stun lock. Whirlwind (WW) Assassins generally branch out into two different types: Ghost and Hybrids. In this guide, I will explain several key points and give you the step by step instructions on how to make a Ghost Assassin like mine.
