A strong support option that provides a decent amount of barrier and an easy path to providing more direct healing if needed. Does ok damage, but is somewhat weak in the boon-provision department as it can't maintain might, which is usually the alacrity's job. Despite that, the versatility in builds makes it an interesting choice, and if you can convince your group to share alacrity between two players so you can drop Well of Bounty its value skyrockets.

Kisyana gave this build 5 stars • August 2022
An absolutely great build, decent at carrying underperforming groups, performing sweetly in open world due to high sustain.

Great build, I'm running half plaguedoctor half celestial because it was convinient to gear and it has so much utility / heals with a fair amount of damage it's just fantastic. Pair it up with a cele quickbrand or condi quickbrand with advanced on. The stability and aegis will flatter it so perfectly
5 stars
Rip cel gave this build 5 stars • March 2022
I would recommend the celestial build as a solo healer for its subgroup on many low pressure encounters. On golem w/o allies it does about 22k dps, and has the benefit of massive healing output being part of its rotation. It does however need might to be covered by other sources(quickness harb, might warrior, condition tempest)
4 stars
Lucinellia gave this build 4 stars • March 2022
A very reasonable build that could be better tweaked and optimised. A safer setup for raids and strikes, in terms of boon duration and damage output, involves full Ritualist with Renegade runes, Demon and Doom sigils on Scepter and Dagger and Peppercorn-Spiced Eggs Benedict alongside Toxic Maintenance Oil. Use with Sc/P for CC. With this setup, Specter can do very reasonable DPS, full alacrity, additional supplementary boons and good sustain via barrier and healing from Consume Shadows. The crowd control output is also very strong via an Sc/P offset and this pairs well with a Firebrand that covers might and quickness. There is additional scope for utility via boon rip (via Bountiful Theft) and also by replacing Spider Venom with Prepare Shadow Portal, Seal Area and Smokescreen. The most glaring place where alacrity Specter lacks is might output, which is far stronger on alacrity condition Renegade, alacrity condition Mechanist and alacrity condition Mirage. The biggest advantages offered by Specter, relative to these other (generally better) options, is in healing and CC but the need for this in most groups will be somewhat niche and Renegade, Mechanist and Mirage are stronger options for both boons and DPS. Alacrity Specter would need higher sustained might output to be rated 5 stars. As is, it is a bit more of a niche option that will shine where the additional sustain and heavy CC can be utilised and the group setup can support it.

You can swap the elite for whatever is needed. You get permanent alacrity from the 3 other wells. I run this build with scavenging runes (dps is about the same) and basilisk venom/thieves. Just did a strike with my guild where everything was optimal and I gave 100% uptime on all boons, solid healing and 25k dps (lack a few pieces of ritualist).
