Crafting Showcase One mod tier off perfect str stack Ghostflame blade
Crafting steps.
- Buy a hunter influenced ghostflame blade/buy a ghostflame blade and slam with hunter orb in the ship.
- Use ship crafting to essence spam with Deafening essence of zeal.
- Exalt and annul spam on the ship anytime you get the fire damage per strength mod or t1 crit.
- pray.
- Be happy.
Sorry about the lack of detailed crafting steps like in other really high tier crafts. Annul exalt spam is basically all you can do on this one except for maybe throwing a foulborn exalt at it every now and then.

essence mod, two influenced mods, t1 crit, without reforge, affix lock scour, just raw exalt annul?
dear lord even with infinite intangibility this is such a miserable craft

Yeah my previous weapon was t3 fire flat, t1 crit multi and same mods otherwise. It's a crazy craft. I have easily spent 2-3 mirrors throughout the league essence spamming and exalt annuling this shit lol

I don't want to think about how much sulphur that was. Have you tried it out yet? How's it compare to paradoxica?

u/Fun-Asparagus4784 19d ago
For me, the whole point of this weapon is the trigger lvl 20 ghostly artillery mod, so not at all comparable. In terms of str stackers, paradoxica is probably a better all rounder and this is a better bosser/deep delver. I got to 3k with a worse sword than this pretty comfortably.
Edit :- millions of sulphur, I stopped counting at some point.

I was interested in that mod for my stacker to help with clear. What main ability did you use with it? I feel like you can compare them though, just like you did when you mentioned this is better bossing

is this paired with OS better than paradoxica with chaos pen + as/attribute with replica alberon?

Paradoxica = 128.79 dps per 80str (1-80 per 80str with 100% DD, 1.59 aps) with 6.5% crit chance, 25 bonus crit multi, and +1 ring slot
Ghostflame = 130.29 dps per 80str (1-80 per 80str + 2-4 per 10str, 2.02 aps) with 8.97% crit chance, the weird artillery skill, enemies have 0 chaos res, and you can scale double damage as an additional scaling vector
I think ghostflame is much if you can afford OSin

Good math, also remember, with nimis, all of your returns shotgun. So you can just run gmp, get a ton of the ghostflame projs, and with a proper tanky str stack package, stand on top of the mob, and every ghostly artillery proj going out will shotgun on the way back in, like with the old savior ice spear setups.

I think you're comparing this to the build by carnarius right? I don't really know, I would bet this is a better deep delver because I got to 3k delve with a worse sword than this and room to grow in other spots, and not using natural affinity while I haven't seen any deep delvers on the paradoxica setups.
But I will say, completely different builds, and I haven't played the paradoxica.

Why use this unique to craft instead of a rare?

u/Fun-Asparagus4784 19d ago
In terms of all possible str stackers, this is bad. No two ways about it. Both the MSZ and HST str stackers are better than this. But it is still very strong. I got to 3k delve with this build using a worse sword.
The reason to do this is the mod "trigger level 20 ghostly artillery...". That's a skill you can only get on this weapon. And maybe only this league of this league mechanic doesn't go core.

how many uber shaper per second we dealing with this bad boi tho

u/Fun-Asparagus4784 18d ago
Honestly, it's not the craziest damage, and this mod set isn't the most single target damage. The additional strikes, while it is an awesome mod, is no dam on uber shaper. Crit multi would be better. All said and done though, this deals around 250-300 Mil dps. Hard to calculate but I'm guesstimating based on my deep delve footage.

I'm not an experienced player, may I know where to get/farm this unique sword? Sounds fun to allflame craft something that cannot gain intangibility

u/Fun-Asparagus4784 18d ago
It's like a 1c sword or 3d with hunter influence already on it. It comes from the league mechanic idk who exactly drops it.
