Spectral Blades (and other roaming supers) need their designated roles to be beyond simple ad clear. A simple damage buff won’t be enough.
Let’s take Spectral Blades for example:
Even with a damage buff Spectral blades will never be a good ad clear super because it just runs out too quickly. Not to mention that it’ll always be worse than Arcstrider in that regard.
The super clearly has a stealthy assassin theme to it so Bungie should play into that role. Instead of clearing ads, Spectral should be about using your invisibility to get close to high priority targets (such as champions) and instantly take them down, then using your invisibility to get out of there safely. Then have ad clear as a secondary duty.
Make it so that [u]light attacks when coming out of stealth apply a debuff[/u] to the target, and [u]heavy attacks that quickly follow up the light attack do significantly more damage[/u] to that target (I’m talking SIGNIFICANTLY more damage).
Those changes would make Spectral a lot better in PvE without it being Arcstrider’s weaker cousin

I think the larger issue with the super in PvE is how long it takes to get the super back. It's one of the longest cool down supers because of it's strength in PvP. Tbh I think getting the super more often would make it OP tho. Instead they should fix the attack registration when attacking at max speed
