Overview

A boon support healer build for Specter. Provides permanent Alacrity Alacrity, Fury Fury, Swiftness Swiftness and Vigor Vigor. This build has a lot of overlap with the healing variant of the Condi Boon Support, so you can mix and match options between these to suit your group.


Skill Bar

Scepter/Pistol
Utility
  • The stealth from Shadow Refuge can cause issues for the group as it interrupts autoattacks and can disrupt tanking and other thieves' rotation. It may be easier to swap it out for another well or other utility.

Specializations

  • If you end up running with a single mainhand weapon rather than Sword & Scepter, Quick Pockets is a good option too.

Usage

Opener

  1. Siphon
  2. Enter Shadow Shroud
  3. Eternal Night
  4. Grasping Shadows
  5. Haunt Shot x3
  6. Exit Shadow Shroud. Always leave shroud immediately after gaining 5 stacks of Consume Shadows.
  7. Cloak and Dagger
  8. Shadowsquall
  9. Well of Bounty

Loop

  1. Cloak and Dagger
  2. Shadowsquall
  3. Use one well that is available. Priority order is: Well of Bounty, Well of Gloom, Well of Sorrow, Well of Silence, Shadowfall
  4. Repeat
  • You should never run out of Initiative with the loop as by the time you're low you should be ready to go back to the opener, giving you time to regenerate initiative to go back to your loop
  • Repeat Opener after Siphon and Enter Shadow Shroud are off cooldown
  • Rotate your wells to keep alacrity up and always keep Well of Bounty on cooldown.
  • Save Well of Silence and Shadowfall if possible for break bar damage
  • Switch to Pistol if you need an interrupt or blind
  • For extra break bar damage you can use Mind Shock after Enter Shadow Shroud

Can provide a very wide spread of boons along with consistent healing and barrier, though it can feel like two different healers mashed together. Relies on ally targetting to unlock its full potential and GW2 wasn't really designed for that.

Definitely can get the job done and keep your party standing while providing alac, fury, vigor, regen, and protection and respectable amounts of CC. Great burst healing through Consume Shadows and resurrections potential with Shadestep. However, it lacks consistent stability along and the five second delay in your biggest burst heal, quickly reacting to panic situation is a bit sketchy in high pressure situations. Along with the fact that Heal Alac Mechanist and now Heal Alac Druid can perform better in most, if not all situations, and that some of the biggest strengths of this build can also be achieved with a DPS Alac Specter build, I find it hard to recommend this build for optimized groups. That being said, it's perfectly passable as a healer, and its a very fun, fast paced playstyle that's easy to pick up. If optimization is not your goal and you'd like to try something completely different from your normal heal builds, this may just be the build for you.

Please don't listen to the guy that gave this build 2 stars.... He must be trolling. This build is perfect for healing and supplies Alac for the group.

So far from testing , this works. Did good with Eod strikes, but have not tried raids yet.

Very fun elite spec to play, and i would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to try out healing/support. Most people that say this spec is not good are just toxic players that never pull away from the meta. People seems to forget that the point of the game is to have fun, and this spec has a ton of it. Make sure your squad/party stands in boons , and dont be shy to use them. I was able to complete all raids,strikes, and all t3 fractals with no problem.

You can Zap People back to life in down state. Very fun spec for Eod Strikes, and would say100% viable.

Synconi12 gave this build 5 stars • March 2022
Really good Build for strikes and t3+ fractals. Loving the single target heal and Insta res it has. Overall this build is fine for raids ands strikes bringing Alac to the table.
5 stars
Spike914 gave this build 5 stars • March 2022
Had a lot of fun with this build paired with druid as the other healer. Easily made quick work of of the new Eod Strikes. I would recommend giving this build a try for healing/ alac.
3 stars
Neage gave this build 3 stars • March 2022
Can work in a pinch but doesn't do anything that another class just does way better. Better off going condi boon support to still decent DPS and provide alacrity
5 stars
Mystrael gave this build 5 stars • March 2022
