Hi Kay, so which spectre is overall better? Templar Tactician or Baranite Preacher are there any differences between them at all?

Kinda similar overall.

TT:
400% life
75% phys to lightning Ball Lightning 5% crit
75% phys to lightning Storm Call
Melee attack


BP:
160% life
pure lightning Ball Lightning 32% crit
pure lightning spell nova



TT is much tankier. It's like RS/RK before 3.12 nerf. They really don't die.
But they have a melee attack so you must not let them stand next to boss!
Phys conversion so you can run triple aura Wrath, Hatred, Zealotry.
A little difficult to get.

BP is actually squishy.
No melee attack so it's 100% BL spam. 32% crit is crazy. If you can get 3 power charge it is 100% crit.
and do you don't need to re-position them.
Easy to find.

Thank you very much for the detailed answer. Now I have a much better understanding about them.

Thanks kayella for all your 3.12 updates! Looking forward to another season (3rd or 4th in a row now) of using your build.

Under the "Gem Checklist for Each Act" section in your guide, starting with Act 2, some of the gem colors are wrong... for example, HFT is listed as 'B' instead of 'R' and some of the gem colors are missing for Act 5.

Very minor and everyone should already know the gem colors but just in case you want to update for the newer players.

Good luck to everyone in Heist! Have fun.

I'm looking at numbers with Sentries in PoB and even with the nerf to their life/damage, they still seem to be insanely good. (and to be clear, when I ran them last, in Delirium, they seemed absolutely broken, so I think the nerfs were warranted.)

However, thinking about when you'll spawn Conqs, by them time you're around level 80ish and can get these guys rolling, even on a 5L with trash gear you picked up leveling or in early maps in the first day or two of the league, hitting 500k dps per spectre is easily attainable, and for 3 spectres (1.5M total dps), that is still miles better than most builds can do in the same amount of time. Not to mention as a Necro you just stack hp/res so you can still hit high ehp numbers.

I think 1M dps per Sentry is still easily attainable this league, and they're still quite tanky (80k-100k hp should be plenty and is worlds better than squishy SDs).

Unless people ran them before and just want something different, I still see them as the best all-around ranged spectre. They'll clear maps fast and with a simple gem swap can still destroy bosses.

SD into RS and profit, fam. My $.02 anyway.

I can't import the pastebin for the build (provided in first post) into PoB, as it says its outdated. Does anyone have an up to date PoB?
