Scarab REWORK

Hi,
Here's my idea about Scarab system.

Remove completely scarabs like:
- Bestiary Scarab
- Ambush Scarab
- Legion Scarab
etc
In short, remove every Scarab which only enables certain mechanic. Instead, make that a core functionality for each other scarab from a certain scarab-type.

So, for examle, you want to have Legion on your maps, but with 5 additional Seargants.
In current state you have to use 1x Legion Scarab and 1x Legion Scarab of Officers.

With the new approach you'd need only use Legion Scarab of Officers to BOTH enable Legion and have additional Seargants.

But, since it would cause less scarabs to use and easier ways to enable certain mechanics, scarabs would have to be nerfed a bit.

So, eg. Ambush Scarab of Potency instead of giving 75% increased explicits on Strongbosex would grant:
- 2 Additional Strongboxes
- 50% increased Explicits

Torment Scarab of Possesion would grant:
- Area is Haunted by 2 Additional Torment Spirits...
- Rare Monsters have a chance to be Haunted by up to 2 Spirits (instead of 3)

And so on. This would reduce the number of Scarab ingame, more managable, more combinations on map device.

But, since there would be smaller variety, drop rates of scarabs would also have to be reduced by like 10-20%, so players won't be overflowing with them.

Additionaly, there is one type of scarabs which would lack of variety and that's Sulphite Scarab.

So, my idea for Sulphite Scarab is:
1. Sulphite Scarab of Lost Equipment - Limit 1
- Collecting Voltaxic Sulphite in an area has a chance to drop an item with a Delve Modifier

2. Sulphite Scarab of Bonanza - Limit 2
- Voltaxic Sulphhite in an area has 50% increased Quantity

3. Sulphite Scarab of Azurite - Limit 1
- Voltaxic Suphitete in an area has a chance to contain some Azurite

This would also cause Sulphite atlas-passives to be slightly nerfed in case of Sulphite quantity.

Ambush and Legion scarabs have a place in farming strats.


Going off that alone: -1

And they won't be removed, just instead of using 2 different scarabs, you will use only one with combined mechanics.
