Build (I recommend swapping Shadow Portal, or Shadowstep to Well of Silence; both mobility skills are overkill): gw2skills.net/editor/?PazAsqVlhySZWsNWLeqWnxfA-zRRYjhggEd07HSLSgqFBprE05BJU2Dvl2v0gKA-e

Heal Alac Specter has been going decently strong already prepatch and with the June Balance Patch, it's even stronger! The amount of utility and boons Specter can do is now amazing and also the amount of heals and barrier you can pump out is astonishing. I hope this little overview in the beginning can help many people to adapt Specter, especially in HT CM as kiter, because it seriously is a force to be reckoned with.

Some key information on how to play it in text form:
- Alac is given via Shroud skills, you can essentially just spam Shroud 1 and save the other shroud skills for when you need their utility. All shroud skills heal and in addition: Shroud 2 condition cleanse, Shroud 3 barrier, Shroud 4 healing, Shroud 5 stability and CC.
- Most general boons are via F1, Well of bounty and Scepter 2/3. Shroud 5 gives some on demand Stability.
- Wells give resistance, at roughly 75% with 2 wells, or permanent with 3 wells.
- If you are the boonstrip responsible, you can hold F1 to immediately boonstrip the boss.
- Zhaitan Fear: Herald runes make your Heal skill give Protection. Always teleport back onto stack with the Heal skill for Protection and Resistance. Use scepter 2 on your party for even more barrier. Cleansing can be done via Shroud2, or Well of Silence, but is not crucial because of the Resistance.
2 Utility slots are open, it is recommended to take one for mobility and one for utility:
- Mobility: Shadow Portal or Shadowstep. Portal gives mobility for you and your kite buddy, Shadowstep is another good mobility choice.
- Well of Silence: Allows permanent resistance as third well, additional condition cleanse and AoE CC; the go-to choice.
- Blinding Power: Some on-demand AoE Stealth, Protection (via trait) and barrier. Also acts as a personal stunbreak if you ever need that.
- Smoke Screen, or Seal Area: Projectile blocks.
