In addition, it only has a 50% chance to activate per kill and prevents use of a [[shield]]. Therefore, for the majority of a 3-rune game, it is not a general purpose item.

	Mayhem can be useful to equip when tackling areas you know will be filled with monsters, such as [[Vaults:5]] or a [[Ziggurat]]. It can be potentially useful in the late-game, once the character can safely handle lone enemies but need help against group fights (which are common in the late-game). Blaster casters and other ranged characters are better suited for mayhem, since they are least exposed to the downsides of frenzy.
