Am I just misinformed, or does Rathmas Chosen only affect minions, and not the player? I tried it out, and I didnt see any changes in attack spped or DS.
You also affected by the aura. Confirmed by d2stats

Once you get at least the charm, equip one and put another one in cube.
Run one of them, summon edyrems at the bridge before the boss to lure their edyrems and summon one beside the boss to combo up Bend Shadow -> Bane and hit him hoping he doesn't summon more or TP away. If so, repeat the edyrem summons. The counter starts after boss is killed, so go easy on the first one. After that BAIL out quickly and repeat on the same boss.
From my experience, Malthael is the one that keep TP-ing away, so do him first
Xazax is the same, lure penitents with edyrems at one corner then tp to get few hits and repeat. Gtfo on meteors and when he pounce.

I'll give that a try. Anything to keep penitents off my back will definitely help. I have a few new charms now so I think my damage got boosted somewhat.

Well, report how it went

I was initially confused and tried killing all the copies but I found out that the boss is actually a shadowmelding rat. I really can't input any strategy here because I've just been wandering aimlessly at this stage, just LMB-ing with Carnage. Nothing he threw at me really posed any threat to me whatsoever. Will definitely farm this charm too.
Fauz is also manageable now. I found myself switching between carnage and parasite. Parasite mainly to kill all of the stygian-witch/succubus looking mobs, carnage mainly for necrobots (and whatever got left off from by parasite).skrig wrote:SinClaire wrote:skrig wrote:You can also try crafted body/Mal RW belt with blast wave o-skill/charges to push penitents and give yourself a 3 seconds window to attack

Hehe I haven't tried it again yet, mainly because the charm is kind of "meh" really. I mean, who even needs +skills at this point in the game. The reward vs preparation and effort isn't worth it right now imo. Instead, I'm farming charms instead for nice rolls. Spots I could farm effortlessly are Quov and Bremmtown. Vizjun to an extent but the nuclear strikes are a PITA.
