Flame sentinel appreciation thread.

Greetings!

I just wanted to give a public shout-out flame sentinels! Not only are they a well designed encounter with a decent threat level and some interesting interactions, such as shotgunning explosions, if you are not careful with minions/totems/party members, but they are the most wonderful of spectres.

I used to work abroad, and only had a weak laptop, on which Path of Exile would crash quite often and easily, if I loaded too many zones, especially the more flashy ones. But flame sentinels are only one waypoint away in a tiny, easily loaded zone, desecrate and you are ready to go.

And boy do these sweet sentinels go. They do not aimlessly wander around. They do not make god awful sounds like stygian thingies. They do not have a 2 second delay before doing damage or useless melee attacks like evangelionists. They just burn stuff up! 5 enemies? 500? An insurmountable wave of monsters attacking, while you are already dead? They do not care, they will efficiently fire augmented fireballs, without wandering around or standing still doing nothing. Reliable!

To top it off, they look sweet, Haku sometimes has them in his daily missions for a 76 level variant and they change their firing pattern well, depending on the enemies they face.

Dear GGG, please make it your goal to make all summons as awesome as flame sentinel spectres, and no longer will Diablo 2 necromancers be remembered as the summoner class of arpgs.

That is all, thank you for reading. Feel free to share your love for flame sentinels below!
