Lesser Spectral Armor

[DragonFury.6243]

in an era of passive life saver and i dont think we ll get rid from them any time soonhow you want your Lesser Spectral Armor to be triggered ??? and WHY?

Last Gasp is fine as it is. Our anti-cc trait (Reaper's Protection) is what needs to be looked at. But then it is in Death Magic and that whole line needs a rework, aside from a few select traits.

I think the trait's current trigger point is a little lacking tbh.It triggers at below 50% health but this usually fails to utilize effectively the stun break that comes with the lesser spectral armor.

Will be nice if it triggered when stunned because usually a burst follows a stun and it allows the necro to retaliate immediately in shroud without taking FiTG.I love taking FiTG for counter-bursting opponents in shroud and having lesser spectral armor replace that role will be awesome.

Opponent stuns me and preps his burst. I take FiTG and enter shroud to tank his burst while breaking stun and counter-bursting while he is open.If lesser spectral armor triggers on stun now, I don't have to take FiTG and can instead take Death Perception without feeling the lost of a FiTG!

Rangers who knock you back with LB from range can also be better countered without FiTG with a lesser spectral armor trigger point on knockback, enter shroud, dash 2 and viola!

Deadeyes who stun you before a death judgement can also be countered the same way without FiTG!

it just need a cd reduction but leave it at 50%

Reaper's Protection is pretty underwhelming, especially with the number of condi clears and cc breaks that happen all the time in WvW. I honestly wouldn't know where to begin with this (more targets affected? wider range? shorter cooldown?) but like you said the Death Magic tree needs some love.

As a stop gap, I'd add a 4s protection to it. That way, at least it would grant some use against ranged attackers that cc you.

trait should cover the whole team as in the case of tempest

[mazut.4296]

I think it should do both- trigger on low hp and on cc, which comes first. And its icd should be 40sec as the skill. If its only cc it will be worthless in pve, moist of the time.

I say leave it as is because most people run spectral armor anyways they can use it early when cc'ed and gain another at 50% not to mention there has been to many times where i was stunned for 2-3 seconds at 60% and the passive activating at 50% saved my butt.

If it activated on first cc it would be pone to double activations by mistake if you ran the utility spectral armor
