Strategy
Spectre is a nice burst caster that can both support and be dps for his team. His cloaks can help with his survivability as well as help him to revive teammates. His stuns chain nicely with other stuns like Psion's, locking down dangerous bosses. His burst from his q can easily take down high priority zerg like Healer Fatties, Ravagers and Prowlers.
