Hydra has been gutted

They both took a hit to power though. This change decreases the clear potential of both LoD and Typhon’s.

EDIT2: Correction, per math below, TV ends up ~1.65 GRs higher in comparison to LoD when comparing initial PTR values to patch notes now. However, my main point is still valid, both builds are severely in the negative, and ~6.07GRs difference between LoD and TV is just shy of making up for Mammoth Hydra.

EDIT4: refer to comment #84 for more exact TV 6pc required multiplier to combat mammoth. Looks like it would have to be ~1400%-1500%. Hydra has been gutted - #84 by Cratic-1413

Typhon’s will likely lose out with this arrangement, because of how good mammoth Hydra is with LoD, and how configurable LoD will be in comparison. EDIT: after factoring in 3rd gem, and testing out TV, Typhon’s is closer than I was originally thinking.

EDIT: adding math below to explain values. Results are in GRs = log(base 1.17, value x). Rounding up to nearest hundredth GR.

EDITS:

  • 3/7/2020: Forgot to include 3rd gem. This was actually a significant impact on the result of how close the TV is damage wise to LoD. Revised recommendation for 1400%-1500%.
  • 3/7/2020: shortened values to hundredths and updated with 3rd gem, EE, and ele% difference. Gave LoD 20% elemental above… so 1.6/1.4.
