Applicable seasons & seasonal adjustments (1)

Open your season’s rules and apply its listed class bonuses, Cube slots or seasonal powers alongside the base profile.

Mechanics and historical version

Five Marauder pieces with Royal Grandeur and Tasker and Theo form the old six-piece setup. Turrets fire the equipped Hatred spenders automatically; this differs from the mechanic introduced in 2.1.2.

Six active skills

Skill and item names retain their canonical English game identifiers. The explanations are fully bilingual.

Legendary gems and Kanai’s Cube

Legendary gems: Bane of the Trapped; Enforcer; Zei’s Stone of Vengeance.

Kanai’s Cube: unavailable. It arrived with patch 2.3 / Season 4; do not add three extra legendary powers.

Rotation and positioning

Place turrets so all can reach the pack, activate Wolf for elites, and escape hazards with Smoke Screen. Multishot and Cluster Arrow on the bar determine the old turret attack mix. Switch to the manual Cluster Arrow profile after the January patch.

Stats, sockets and progression

Build Dexterity, Sentry/spender damage and critical stats; evaluate attack speed with Tasker and Theo against that era’s turret breakpoints. Do not assume modern attack timings.

Archive boundaries and source review

This is a dated archive configuration optimized for its stated activity. Historical Greater Rift records are not inferred from current item tooltips; later set multipliers do not apply to this version.

The three gems are an editorial selection available at the time for the documented skill bar; the original source selected no gems. Bane of the Stricken did not yet exist.
