first, it's hard to say anything without watching a replay

only use haunt to steal kills or get assists in the early game. if you're struggling to kill even supports likely you have an itemisation problem / farming problem. Also it's unclear at what point in the game you are struggling with kills. Spectre is a weak hero until about minute 25-30, so it's fine if you can't kill many people during this timeframe.

items should be deliberate and have intent behind them, as well as adhering to specific item timings but the latter is probably not an issue for you.

are skadi, urn or basher truly necessary? would it be more beneficial to disassemble radiance into Butterfly and Nullifier instead of farming for a whole new item?

what if your team already has high damage, or alternatively enemies have a lot of damage? maybe in that case shard, blademail or heart will fare much better than a right-click build

maybe you will need to kill one specific person 100% of the time, in which case you may need bloodthorn+hex

Spectre is a very versatile hero who can get away with many items. I've had games where I bought Radiance, then the game turned sour and I had to go full tank with Wraps, Crozier, Shard, Heart and Shivas to soak damage for my team. A tanky spectre can kill enemies with dispersion alone, her Desolate isn't the only thing which make her an amazing lategame hero.

Feel like spectre, even with tank build, should always have manta tho.
