Skill functions and interactions
- Despite what the gem says, the skill does not consume corpses when refreshing sentinels as of the launch of 3.19.
Sentinel of Absolution
- A Sentinel of Absolution, according to the datamined material, is a reskinned Temple Adjudicator (which itself has another variant Heretical Adjudicator). It uses a melee attack, and two skills that are known for their internal IDs as AbsolutionMinion and AbsolutionMinionEmpowered.[1]
- Sentinels of Absolution have 6% base critical chance. The minion's regular AbsolutionMinion skill has 180% Effectiveness of Added Damage, and its empowered version, AbsolutionMinionEmpowered, has 130% Effectiveness.
- Support gems: Any support gem that can apply to both an spell as well as a minion skill will apply to both the spell cast by Absolution and the Sentinels. For example, Spell Echo SupportSpell Echo SupportSpell, Support
