How to Quad-Kite Specters in Oasis
By Zekethin Zeboom

Something to know before starting:
One common misconception of hunting specters in Oasis is that they will life tap you. I can verify that they will not. The specters in the Feerott will life tap you though, so they aren�t as highly recommended.

Anyone know if they actually casted lifetap or some other higher level spell?

By the way, here's an interesting quote:

a spectre slices YOU for 88 points of damage.
a spectre begins to cast a spell.
You feel your life force drain away.
a spectre staggers.
a spectre slices YOU for 88 points of damage.

Just googled "A spectre begins to cast a spell" and found that.

They should also have the Specterstun ability.

That was common to both those from Oasis and feerrott.

Warrior.

Spectres hit for a maximum of 96, and tend to attack rather quickly. They move somewhat slowly, and can be outrun even without speed-enhancing spells.

They have relatively few hp for their level, which is offset by their high damage output. Their two special attacks of a stun spell and a lifetap spell also help their damage output.

The stun is a proc right? There are some specs with that ability on p99, I'm just not sure whether they're in OOT or in Oasis. I've never seen it land but I've resisted it a few times, wondering what it does.

I leveled my necro for several levels in oasis on specs on here, and in my experience the 4-5 specs on the bottom do NOT lifetap or stun. However, the 3 spectres from the top of the tower quite regularly stunned my pet when I sent him up there to pull one down (actually I'm not 100% positive it was a stun - I never saw the text. But it was the cleric stun spell effect going off).

Can't remember if I ever saw them lifetap, however.

And one more thing, though it may not be related... the specs from the top would often (maybe 30-40% of the time) instantly break out of Invoke Fear, whereas the 4-5 spectres on the bottom never, not once, out of however many kills it took me to go from 39ish-45ish, broke out of fear instantly. /shrug

Has this been fixed yet? I haven't had a chance to check.

Also keep in mind it should only apply to the Spectres in Feerrott, not Oasis. Not sure about OOT.

No, they aren't lifetapping.

The Spec's in Feerrott do stun, now. In all honesty I had been killing them for weeks on end and never saw a single one in Feerrott stun me or even try to, until recently. Seems it was added around the time they messed up the AoE killshot, or close?

Either way it suddenly makes trying to quad them more dangerous :)
