Stealth as support is nice and all but...

[Lithril Ashwalker.6230]

1. If we want to support allies via stealthing, give us more access to it on specter where it should belong.

2. Allow the addition of an optional checkbox in settings to NOT cancel actions on YOURSELF when obtaining STEALTH. This here alone could add more reliability on thief/specter via stealth usage without being the interupting cow while someone is attacking their chains. Huuuge QoL if ya do this.

Exactly! Consistent and reactive application of AoE stealth on specter will have perfect synergy with traits and will lead to a proper heal support build and because of the changes on shadow arts where now traits trigger on in and out of stealth instead of every 3s, the stealth duration can be any amount. and it has built-in restrictions and counter play through reveled.

The downside of this idea is a very bad interaction with allies, the final implementation should not interrupt and its reveled should not be invasive to other thieves, maybe making self revealed block stealth only from a particular source, if a thief use a stealth attack it can't receive stealth from himself but possible from others and vice versa and revealed from offensive skills block every source. A change like this will not only enable a thief support build but solve many bad and unwanted interactions between allies in all gamemodes.

They just need to change scepter 2 to apply 1s of stealth followed by a 3s reveal in an AoE around an ally for the ally targeted effect. Jobs a good un, support specter is now properly a thing.

The heal well used to be able to stealth with some traits, but now that's gone.

Yes 100% this. Some of the other balance changes to SA for Specter elude to it. If support specter is forced to take so many wells for alac spam off cooldown (vs being reactive) there isn't really a lot of wiggle room for utilities.
