Strategies
Scarabs and the Atlas passive tree apply to the additional mechanics from Mayhem modifiers. This can provide some synergy in maps:
- Breach with Flash Breach, Gatekeepers, Beyond Their Reach for farming experience directly and via Uul-Netol and Chayula breachstones
- Rogue Exiles with Rogue Trader, Royal Guard, Exiled Will, Ruckus, Unrelenting Torment, Seance
- Torment with Seance, Unrelenting Torment
- Strongbox with Tamper Proof, Secret Operations, Vault of Mysteries, Concealed Logistics, Backup Cache
- Harbinger with Unspeakable Offensive, First Wave for experience
The Resistance and Ailment Protection Mastery for You cannot be Maimed; You cannot be Hindered will be very helpful to prevent unnecessary slows.
