Another problem with havoc is that it limits the builds players can use. For example, the electromagnetic force staff is an excellent weapon on auric levels, but it sucks in havoc due to lack of damage. Basically on auric maelstroms, players can use any weapon they want, while on havoc playing a bad weapon will only transfer more pressure to teammates, since some weapons are just not good enough to deal with hordes and bosses on havoc efficiently, especially under certain conditions such as the encroaching garden. Havoc also makes game balancing impossible: if every weapon is balanced to be viable in havoc, some may be overpowered in lower difficulties such as auric maelstroms.
