But I play hc and I made prob my strongest and tankest build to date and can actually upgrade alot more(video soon maybe?)..im level 90 and in tier 12 maps.. "I usually dont make it to red maps cuz I suck " but these red maps im 20 quality and alching and sometimes running corrupted and atziri fragments and demolish everything pretty much.. But the loot and pack size is still pretty shit... Should I be doing something different? Scarabs seem pointless but Idk if theres some hidden shit going on.. Like 100% more div cards etc seems dumb Idk

I should prob just watch a YT video but figured id post cuz im bored at work

Maybe respec to strongboxes?

Was thinking of it.. Ive been specced into all essences and rituals but they dont spawn very often and not very rewarding compared to some of these strongbox clips ive been seeing

strongboxes OP
essences are great as well but with all the nodes you can end up with some pretty beefy monsters with like 7/8 essences all high tier and even twinned.
if you are ssf you kinda need to go harvest as well. even not ssf harvest gives me so much FOMO I usually spec into it as well. I hate harvest but its soooo goood!
harbi nodes are still good
metamorph scarabs are good
harbi scarabs are good
ambush scarabs are good
harbi and ambush also on kirac mods - ambush pretty much always pays for itself

beyond can always help increase pack size, as well as rippiness

what build you runnin?

Is it worth using the scarabs i do have on these lower tier red maps or just keep rolling till 14+?

What build are you running?

low investment strat

get all harbringer nodes
get eater and searing pack size node
get eater shrine increase spawn
get fortune favour node for the quantity and pack size
get w/e else you like

run maps with fortune favour and eater influence and harbringer scarab, choose all the minion type from eater shrine and you will be usually getting like 20+ scarabs per map.

nvm, they ninja nerf the scarab drops by like 90%
