Support Specter is a Secondary Support relying mostly on Dark Aura and with Blast Finishers in order to keep the squad safe with Heals and Condition Removal.
Moreover, it also massively grants Barrier, which became rarer since the latest patches. It allows the squad to take more hits as Barrier can cover up to an additional 25% of your health points in WvW.
As a Secondary Support, Support Specter will also be giving boons to its subgroup. We will be looking to massively grant Protection, Stability, Vigor and Resistance which are extremely powerful boons to have both offensively and defensively. Additionally, we will also be giving the usual Secondary Support boons such as Might and Fury to increase our squad Damage output.
You can an ally before the fight starts to designate them as your Shrouded Ally. The Shrouded Ally will receive the beneficial effects of Shadow Shroud skills, even while away from the squad. The Shrouded Ally can be up to 1200 Range away before the tether breaks, and boons from will be granted to the Shrouded Ally even if he isn't in the 360 Radius of the trait.
Last but not least, Support Spectre gives us access to Wells skills, which will exclusively be Dark Combo Field that will heavily interest us coupled to the Shadow Arts Trait Line.
As a Secondary Support, Support Spectre has the unique ability to provide a wide range of important boons while doing its intended supporting job. It will allow our subgroup and globally squad to have higher uptimes of the highly prized boons such as Stability and Resistance.
It is also your duty to grant the boons your Damage dealers need in order to function properly. Low uptimes in Might and Fury will make the squad Power and Critical Chance drastically drop, so it is as important to massively reapply these boons.
Specter has plenty of sustained and burst Healing both in and out of Shadow Shroud, our main source being through Blast Finishers.
Additionally, we will be looking to output as much Barrier as possible using Scepter, a privilege that not many Secondary Supports have.
Shadow Arts Trait Line provides us an unique synergy with Dark Aura, allowing us to output extra Healing and ensure proper Condition Removal for the squad thanks to and .
