Is there a minimum ilvl on hunter amulets to get the +1 int gems?

DPS change from Esh to Redemption Sentry will be significant? For mapping and boss? I can afford for Grip of the Council and Devouring Diadem. Because lack of 3 white sockets I will pick 1R-2G-3B.

Is there any tips that could be useful for starting playing with RS? My Spectre gem is lvl 26

Thank you for this build! it's been working great once I got to maps using RS, however I'm having trouble figuring out what order I should buy my upgrades...

Should I aim to get my Raise Spectre gem to 25?
or
Buy a + Spectre Body Armour? No links, I'm using a Tabula right now.
or
Grip of The Council?

Just my 2 cents of me being a beginner at this build (that's actually what I did) : I would say go for the gloves first, then the chest piece. Grip of the council is nice in that it has actual stats and not just the one line we care about (has strength, life, res). I think your spectres will fare better in a 6L tabula than a no link/5 link +1 spectre chest. When you can afford it, buy and link (or buy a 6-linked) +1 spectre chest, and then invest more to get a 21 spectre + +1 boots + a +1 amulet.

I've also checked your tree real quick - don't forget to anoint your amulet and save those points pathing to Death Attunement.

This is the gear I'm currently using if you want a reference, I killed Sirus A8 yesterday without too much troubles (only one death due to him doing me some phase 3 bullshit). I killed him a couple days ago at A8 too but I was a bit underleveled and had a couple pieces of gear replaced since then. (Yes, the head is veiled - I'm going to replace my boots and amulet fairly soon and I don't know what res they'll have. I'll unveil it to fill in my missing res.)

I would love to know if someone had tried Kitava's herald with this build?Even if not , is it OK to go Kitava's herald with this build ? Thanks -

Which Syndicate member has the "Trigger a socketed spell when you use a skill"craft?

Yes the DPS change will be significant, but probably not how you think. I really think this needs to be explained better in the guide, but Redemption Sentries only have higher DPS when you have end-game gear (clusters, 6L, 5 spectres) and you can reliably gem-swap. Otherwise, they will have LESS damage and clear than Slave Drivers.

Since you asked about Esh - even though RS will have less DPS, I still prefer them over Esh because Esh have such poor clear and random boss DPS. So RS might do less damage, but they will feel smoother than Esh. But Slave Drivers are still the smoothest and highest DPS until you get to end game.

I would suggest to use Slave Drivers until you get at least 4 spectres and a 6-link. Without a 6L, RS are very poor choice for spectre.

Why dont we use an elder&shaper helmet with hypotermia and minion damage and + socketed gems instead of diadem ?

Is it a useless upgrade ?

Thanks for your explanation. I got 5 spectres now and Esh is really great during Sirus fight and I get used to them during mapping. I can see that do great aoe damage but how about gem swap and single target? Now it takes just few seconds to melt any gurdian/conqueror and Sirus is not a big deal.

As I mentioned before I have to buy gloves, helmet and recolor my chest to make it works. Also unique jewels missing. I only have 6 ex to spend at this moment. Just wondering if it's worth to change to RS now

is it possible to spec into mom since we have eb?
