Hydra has been gutted

I revised my calcs above. Included all PTR values.

Compared to v2.6.8.66344 (5.5x multipliers) on PTR:

  • For LoD: It’s a decrease of 4.05GRs.
  • For Typhon’s: It’s a decrease of 3.55GRs.

It’s definitely another huge blow to any LoD Hydra build. LoD Hydra felt fairly well balanced at 5.5x. I could see it challenging Vyr Chantodo at that level, now I’m not so sure it can.

We truly haven’t seen the potential of Typhon’s yet due to all of the bugs.
However, even if the bugs are fixed, I have real trouble seeing how the set could perform well in a push scenario given how tight the gearing options are, and (based on what I could test) how ‘middle-of-the-road’ the set damage felt on PTR.

I’ll be interested to see how TV performs on live, and to know if these values for LoD & TV are final? I really hope they are fishing for more data before season go-live in intent to readjust again on both fronts.
