Spectral Staff
Link doesn’t work by the way.
Do you mean a build centered around the use of staffs auto-attack (necrotic grasp)? If so, staff is generally seen and used as a utility weapon. As much as I would love for it to be a primary damage weapon, it is not. It applies and removes conditions. The auto-attack is basically a glorified battery for life force. Conditionmancers can get away with using it for long periods of time due to MoB’s spammability. Aside from that, it’s a backup.

Sorry I got fed up with this garbage web site not accepting Trait Builder links. www.intothemists.com is the best trait builder on the market today :/

The reason why it does that is because the link has semicolons (;) and the forums don’t like those. The link is fine, just the forums suck.

Yes it works and is fun if you are good at laying down marks quickly and on target. I have tested a power crit based version and a condition crit based version.
0/20/20/0/20 is the base starting point the other 10 points can go to bring something to 30 if you like.
For most situation I like 0/20/20/0/30 what you want is soul marks + spectral recharge…. DS lasting 25% longer is not as good as soul marks for the staff build. Path of midnight over spectral recharge is also a good options I like it more when i take near to death, only must have is soul marks.
Its really a staff + DS build I like the conditions version more because it gives a condition build lots of lifeforce building skills something a scepter build really lacks…. the power crit version is ok but honesty dagger or axe + wells will serve you better. That said because my pve gear is all exotics knights I run the power crit version to great effect (got bored of wells).
Is it as good as a pure scepter conditions build? Probably not but the gap is not that huge and I find scepter boring.

I think the name comes from having 2 Spectral utility skills and using the staff.
I guess it would depend on how you play, But I dont see it being all that effective.

I like your build but find myself unable to figure out with such a build what is more important Condition Damage or Power?
I personally dislike spectrals for sPvP, i mean : spectral grasp fails more often then not, the AoE of spec. wall is too small and when it hit actually bufs you and you target it’s not that gamebranking, spec. armor has a ridiculously long cd, thus making it unreliable as a stunbraker and again, not gamebraking.
The spc. walk is fun but i wind up not using it very much becouse i generally want that slot for something else.
does spectral grasp work??
till 5 days ago it misses 5 times on 4.. and now??
cause a spectral build need it.. ( combo with spectral wall )
