Ok, so I've been playing around with the Syndicate Operatives for a few hours now, not sure if this lines up with other people's opinions, but I thought I'd leave my input here:

*These opinions are based on t14-t16 mapping


Pros
- Great map clear with GMP, even LMP works fairly well
- Fast projectiles, and very fast casting time, making them extremely speedy mappers
- Definitely the fastest mapper out of all the commonly used Spectres
- Not very flashy, so it runs smoothly if you're looking for better fps
- Good AI

Cons
- Very bad single target. Very slow even with boss gem-swap.
- Fairly squishy
- @lv84, they have basically half the HP of Redemption Sentries/Knights (2 Operatives of mine just died to a T15 boss)


So, to summarize my thoughts of them, they are fantastic for early-mid tier mapping. But as soon as you start seeing higher HP mobs (even some rares like soul eaters) will gives you some trouble. Now, obviously if you can ramp your gear up to the point where it overcomes the single target issue, then they are probably the smoothest Spectre to play atm. But for a league start, you may struggle with scaling at higher tier maps + bosses.




I have been testing them with my gear from spectre showcase series.

Clear is great without GMP/LMP. Mino kill speed is good. Not amazing.

-

btw SO's life is 78% of RS, not half. RS has 270% life. SO has 210% life. poedb is wrong.




I can add Syndicate Operative to POB Community for next patch.

Can I ask why people don't do a lightning/blue conversion with triads? Wouldn't it be easier to fit the gems? Or is putting in dash+secondwind etc easier. I'm guessing I'm missing something cause I'm a noob.

Thanks.
Hey Kay, have you tested Sigil of Power and also Flame Wall with the spectres? For the BL Baranite especially, I think it would be overpowered?

Hatred is simply too overpower, I guess. Cold is also safer with corpse shattering, freeze and chill.

Ah thanks so much! GLHF
Thinking about restarting with Spectres as my League Starter requires more unaccessable uniques (i play in private league) and already got some currency to spend.

I played Spectres a long time ago, using Slave Drivers, so im already familiar with them.
Shoud i start with the league start / ssf version with SD ? You mentioned BP a lot lateley and that you are using them now as the go to spectres.

Sry if it was already answered, but with so many responses lately i didnt read through all of the pages, what would be the links for BP (didnt see them anywhere in the opening post), and do they follow the same tree as SD ?
hello.. first off, thank you for the guide. i'm new so apologies.

i have the devouring diadem but i cant seem to cast skitterbot and 2 auras. not enough mana. what am i missing?

thanks.
ahh nvm. reread again, sovereignity path is the one im missing :D
Kay - I can't seem to find similar POB DPS screenshots from your Spectre Series. How do those #s compare (1M DPS per Spectre) vs. current RS, RK, etc? Thanks so much for all that you do for the community!
