Trickery

• Quick Pockets — Gain initiative on swapping weapons while in combat.

Specter

• Consume Shadows — Gain stacks of Consume Shadows at regular intervals while in Shadow Shroud. Exiting Shadow Shroud consumes your remaining shadow force and heals allies based on the number of stacks you have gained. Allies that are fully healed receive the rest of the value in barrier.
• Dark Sentry — Apply Rot Wallow Venom to allies you grant barrier to. Outgoing healing to allies is increased. Rot Wallow Venom effect cannot apply to yourself.
• Hungering Darkness — While in shroud, transfer conditions from your tethered ally and cleanse conditions from yourself. Each condition removed in this fashion heals a percentage of your base health and grants your tethered ally barrier.

Notes

Bug:

Shadow Force resets to zero when your effective level changes in zones with differing level caps.

• Applies  Shadow Shroud to the Specter and  Shrouded to the nearest ally.
