Bad News for hydra wizz

[Cratic-1413]

I am happy to rally in the Wizard forums but I will draw the line at excessive GD buff campaigning, mongering.

I agree that a response to our feedback post 2.6.8 release would be encouraging to see, but I understand that the blues are very busy.

Most of my feedback thus far for LoD Hydra and the set multipliers is linked here:

First Impressions on the Hydra Set?

v2.6.8.66666 (love the build number) Tested LoD Mammoth Hydra. Tried a few non-seasonal iterations, ended up with an Ice Climber + Stone Gauntlet + Teleport build that was easier to manage defensively.

Good Things

Hydra attacking slow after summon appears to be fixed for all runes. Haven’t tested with Typhon’s yet, but definitely will be much more fluid for low GR and Nephalem speeds. Haven’t tested the Set head death order yet, but if it indeed has been fixed for FIFO then tha…

Typhon’s Veil Feedback linked here:

First Impressions on the Hydra Set?

I’ve completed my non-seasonal testing of Typhon’s Veil in solo push.

Clear potential

Managed a GR123, 2 minutes ahead, and was about 45s behind on a GR124. This is at 2k paragon simulated (used my extra paragon as simulated augments and ancients. I was wearing a lot of non-ancient gear). ~30 keys used in testing. https://ptr.d3planner.com/345101315 With higher effort fishing, perhaps 200 or more keys, I can see a GR125 possible for Typhon’s @ 2kp, especially with a power pylon on the RG.…

I agree that a higher multiplier for SS, Magistrate is required to balance in relation to Vyr Chantodo, and that a higher Typhon’s 6 piece multiplier is required to balance in relation to LoD.

In summary, I have suggested values:

• 500% (6.0x) for SS and Magistrate.
• 1400% to 1500% for Typhon’s 6 piece.

I will report back once I’ve played Typhon’s in non season push.

EDIT (3/7/2020): Reducing estimate. 6x down from 6.5x, and 1400%-1500% down from 1550%-1650%. Didn’t think about EE for LoD, and forgot that TV gets an extra legendary gem over LoD.
