Korther: MLC St2alth: Korther:Temple Second, get blessed imo as your ghost collects the abundance of resource crates around your base and mid that are conveniently placed and send your prophet for your Supply Elevator first. Drop an EHG in, put him in and go to the reactor on your opponents side while you're building up your base. Get that reactor, then go across the map towards his supply elevator and get that. Since I generally go Hall as my building, I'll pump out like 4 jackals to go take the reactor by my base real fast.
Cheesypoof999, a beastly prophet player, says to never got temple second. Either first or third.
He's a good player but I don't take his word religiously. Going T-W-W or W-T-W or W-W-T is on a very personal basis. I dont like to go Temple first ever, shatters my economy and I dont like going W-W-T. Waste of time. I like going Temple second. It works, it's not game breaking so...I dont care.
Against covie you should always go temple first.
Against UNSC it's iffy, but getting your supply elevator asap is priority.
Temple first does not shatter your economy, in fact, temple second offers no bonus to your econ whatsoever.
You can pick up more resources with your leader by going temple first, than the amount of resources you make going temple second.
Temple first or third, never second. Temple third is for getting a turret up, and/or quickly blessing your warehouses.
