Ulm beefed up ...

A Ghost King who casts five buffs is pretty much
a given with Ulm, and I think that he is much better off without
the armour, what with the -5 to defense and the 50 points of
additional fatigue it brings.

With a complete set of earth based trinkets, a ghost king does not need to cast any buffs, as he will have a protection of 30. Of course, you should probably add quickness and mistform, but anything else is not needed for bashing independents. One could also stick to the lighter blacksteel if you wanted, or use a PoD and put trampling boots on him.
