Overview

A survivable open world build for Specter. Can solo the toughest content by either kiting with Measured Shot or evading with Death Blossom and healing with Consume Shadows. While Celestial provides balanced stats this build will favor condition damage and can stack a large amount of Poison and Torment with Endless Night and the synergies in Deadly Arts. You can also provide permanent Alacrity and give yourself 25 Might thanks to the boon duration and Rune of Superior Rune of the Aristocracy. In addition, Sigil of Superior Sigil of Draining on Dagger turns Well of Silence into a significant heal against larger groups.

Equipment Variants

• Rune of Superior Rune of Tormenting, Rune of Superior Rune of the Traveler, Rune of Superior Rune of the Tempest, or even Rune of Superior Rune of the Nightmare are more readily-available alternatives to Rune of Superior Rune of the Aristocracy.
• Use for Might generation if using runes other than Rune of Superior Rune of the Aristocracy.
• If using the concentration granted allows you to swap out Sigil of Superior Sigil of Concentration on your offhand weapons and still have permanent alacrity through your wells.

Consumables

• Any ascended food is superior to any other food you could use. Steak for power, flatbread for conditions. Budget versions of these foods exist and are acceptable.
• - if using alternative runes to Rune of Superior Rune of the Aristocracy
• - farming
• - DPS
• - defense

Utility

• (and variants) - farming
• , - dps
• - dps if using gear with high toughness

Usage

• Weakness gives you Might thanks to Rune of Superior Rune of the Aristocracy. Alternate Shadow Sap with Measured Shot/Endless Night to quickly stack up to 25 Might. Siphon also stacks might and gives you more initiative. When you're low on initiative use Enter Shadow Shroud and cycle through your attacks, then exit for a large heal thanks to Consume Shadows. Note that auto-attacking in shroud gives you Might and Eternal Night inflicts Weakness and gives you Might.

• For foes that can't be kited or large groups switch to Dagger and use Death Blossom. You can pull larger groups in with Shadowfall. Well of Silence will provide significant amounts of healing when used on grouped enemies thanks to Sigil of Superior Sigil of Draining and will also give you Might as it inflicts Weakness. If you need a reprieve use Cloak and Dagger to enter Stealth and exit with Backstab which grants you lots of Barrier thanks to Panaku's Ambition.

• You can use Wells on cooldown to maintain permanent Alacrity or save for when needed. Traversing Dusk provides a large amount of sustain with Measured Shot.

Celestial Specter vs Mayatl the Fierce

• A great example of this build in action with Rune of Superior Rune of the Aristocracy. Mayatl is a good demonstration for the Celestial Specter's sustain, CC, single target, and AoE capabilities in the open world.
