The Atlas Passive "Devoted Carapaces" in Path of Exile: Necropolis League affects the types of Scarabs you encounter in your maps. Here's a breakdown of its effect:
Increased Domination Scarab Drop Rate:
100% More Likely: Allocating this Atlas Passive doubles the chance of Scarabs dropped in your maps being Domination Scarabs. This significantly increases your odds of finding these specific Scarabs.
Domination Scarabs:
Shrines Influence: Domination Scarabs are likely a sub-type of Scarabs tied to the "Domination" mechanic in Path of Exile. Domination is a mechanic where you conquer special monsters to gain Shrines over an area. Shrines can be used to spawn a powerful boss encounter with unique rewards.
Strategic Considerations:
Targeted Farming: If you're interested in acquiring the unique rewards from the endgame bosses spawned through the Domination mechanic, this passive can be very beneficial. It allows you to farm Domination Scarabs more efficiently and trigger Domination encounters more often.
Endgame Progression: Domination is primarily an endgame mechanic. This passive caters to players who are already progressing towards endgame content and the powerful boss encounters it offers.
Alternative Scarabs: Remember, Devoted Carapaces specifically boosts Domination Scarabs. There might be other Scarabs with valuable mechanics or rewards that become less likely to drop with this passive allocated.
Overall, Devoted Carapaces in Path of Exile: Necropolis League is a valuable Atlas Passive for players who are actively working towards endgame content and the rewards offered by Domination. It significantly increases your encounter rate with Domination Scarabs, but keep in mind the trade-off of potentially encountering fewer Scarabs of other types and the focus on endgame areas.
