The possibilities of crafting, paired with the strategy of timing Sentinel deployments during runs and the existence of Unique types that can’t be recharged nor repurposed (making them fairly rare), are quite exciting. The ceiling for this new mechanic is quite high and sets a promising ground to experiment and lose yourself into yet another skill tree, although I appreciate the consideration of naming it differently. But if this doesn’t sound like enough customization, there is a massive runic circuit board called the Sentinel Controller (which reminds me of that puzzle minigame in Bioshock) where you can select and switch between nodes for all three Sentinel types.
#PATH OF EXILE SEASON MODS#
You can find Sentinels that have mods attached to them by default, and that’s before you go ahead and combine them with others during crafting. Perhaps not so much for inventory space, but still cool. Thankfully, you can combine these husks with a Power Core to craft a new, functioning Sentinel that has the properties of both husks you use.

Sentinels can be used once per area, but aren’t unlimited - after a few deployments, they’re going to deplete their internal power supply. You only start with one Stalker Sentinel slot, but you’ll unlock two more as you progress for a total of three, one for each Sentinel type. As expected, Path of Exile: Sentinel isn’t going to introduce a new feature to the game without many intertwining mechanics to learn and experiment with.
#PATH OF EXILE SEASON DOWNLOAD#
All three Sentinels in all their glory.īut while I fight the urge to download Torchlight for the eleventh time, there is still a lot more ground to cover. It’s perhaps Torchlight I remember the most, specifically the Alchemist, who had all sorts of little companions that made grinding a single player ARPG a lot less lonely. Playing as a Necromancer in Diablo II was always a joy for this same reason, as I always showed up to every room with an army of skeletons and one big golem leading the march. It’s been a couple of years, but I still remember my times playing a Hunter in World of Warcraft fondly, going out on adventures with a pet by my side. I was a little disappointed to hear that the Sentinels aren’t exactly a friendly companion that tags along. Lastly, Apex Sentinels can only empower rare or unique enemies and fire fewer shots.

As such, if your screen is filled with enemies, that single shot can empower all of them at once. Pandemonium Sentinels typically fire just one shot, but the effect is chained based on your surrounding area. Stalker Sentinels follow your character for around 30 seconds, empowering the foes you’re fighting.
