Does anyone know what maps tend to contain Flame Sentinels? It'd be nice to be able to get them above level 66.

purely by observation, Ive seen more sentinels in the following maps than other maps:

67 cemetery
69 catacombs
71 temple

they are native to temple tileset, so that explains temple, not so sure about other two.

I dont have a huge sample size for higher maps, but I havent seen any other map be more often than not filled with them.

Has anyone ever tried socketing Iron Will for sentinels? How much strenght do you think they might have? I simply can't get my chober to more than 4B2something (currently 4B2R). Which brings me to a dilemma. I can ditch minion damage support, but what to use in that extra red socket? Empower feels like a giant waste.

as far as we know, they have 0 strength (nor a weapon- wed support doesnt work) so iron will doesnt work

which brings me to a question to Dextera: faster projectiles on sentinel setup- why ???

Hi, are you going to update the progression build up of the Passive Tree with Sacrifice of the Vaal tree? I remember you using Minion Instability (MI) on the earlier game, but I'm quite unsure as to how to get there for later respec of points and also getting there as soon as posible...

Thanks!

These would by my spontaneous ideas depending on which level you want to have Minion Instability:

29 Points

You have to respec 5 Int-notes above the Witch starting area and MI later.


60 Points

You only have to respec MI.

I've read the guides and some comments but since I'm new to the game, I'm not sure how exactly should I compare the two, especially when I don't know how various things will work in practice in real situations.

Could someone experienced please comment on the main pros and cons of those two builds? In particular I'd be interested in opinions about [not] getting Mind Over Matter (are all those Dex nodes worth it?), Minion Instability, Hex Master & Whispers of Doom, Grave Expectations and Elemental Equilibrium. But any general comments will be appreciated.

Thanks

Because 6l Zombies can be so strong I would prefer not taking Minion Instability (MI) because it will reduce the life of the zombies (and I hate resummoning).

Hex Master & Whispers of Doom are fine as long as you have the time to curse the enemys before they are dying. Maybe consider unsing the Unique boots "Winscream" to save some points for the double curse.

The trade-off for taking Grave Expectations (GE) would be dropping some points in survivability. Just free up 4 points and grab GE - I think it's personal preference.

Mind over Matter and the optional Iron Reflex will boost your own survivalbility by a lot!

In the end I'm not sure about Elemental Equilibrium - In this build we can easily boost the DPS of your spectres with it but even in the MI-build it should work the same way for the zombie explosions - maybe I missed something.

And by the way - STR and DEX notes are always optional! If you need them to level your gems or wear better equipment - just take them and respec them as soon as you get the stats elsewhere (from gear or other areas of the passive tree).

I did a Villa map today and noticed that the Undying Incinerators are pretty brutal. Have any of you tried these as specters yet? They seem like they could be great AOE.

theyre way too squishy for any high level content

but heres a sample video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckjZBbzOdus
from the man (op) himself nonetheless

Yep, they are way too squishy. And wow u dug up a really old video from the beta days lol.

So after playing without IR/grace for a couple of days I really miss that armor.

I dropped two 8% health nodes to pick up IR and Shaper

I despite losing about 300 health I feel way more tanky with

~ 11 physical reduction to 42% physical reduction
~ picking up shaper for about 80 more life/sec
~ picking up shaper to get about 300mana/sec so i can put my arctic armor in this and gain about 38 fire and physical flat reduction

this is what my tree looks like now, it should be reflected on the main page as well.

Tweaked build

Dropping haste wasn't really all that noticeable in dps especially when you have flesh offering up most of the time.

as requested. I finished outlining a 30point by 30pt build path.

Edit:

also tweaked the setup for flame sentinels

lmp + remote mine + conc effect + faster casting, those extra projectiles makes a huge difference when fighting packs of mobs.
when fighting packs.

Hey matt!

In the first 110 point version of your passive tree is a small mistake - grabbing Arcane Vision instead of EB.

And the second version actually has 120 points used and according to the dropped EE it seems like the final version. You should fix the name. ;)

Not sure if it's just me but using flame sentinals they just drop like flies when I took them to sarn.

which items do you use to snapshot zombies/scpectres?
and i heard trigger gems doesnt work with minions anymore?
