Hydra has been gutted

Mammoth is somewhere in the range of 2.3-2.8 times as much dps as the other runes.

  • 5.31 GRs = ~2.3x multiplier
  • 6.56 GRs = ~2.8x multiplier

The difference between TV and LoD (non-seasonal) would have to be placed somewhere in the range of 6.5-7 GRs, favoring Typhon’s. Currently this is only ~6.07 GRs at 1300% per head.

Regardless of the multiplier on SS, Magistrate, that would mean Typhon’s 6pc would have to be adjusted to:

  • 1350% per head to match 5.31GRs difference (favors only the best of non-mammoth runes to be used with TV), not enough IMO.
  • 1400% per head to match 6.56 GRs difference (favors multiple non-mammoth runes)
  • 1500% per head to match 6.98 GRs difference (favors multiple non-mammoth runes)

Change from PTR start with 1400% per head TV:

5.5x 4x
LoD -3.07 GRs -7.12 GRs
Typhon’s -0.94 GRs -5.00 GRs

No real comments as to whether this is good enough balance wise as yet for Typhon’s, since we haven’t had the chance to test TV in push without bugs.

EDIT (3/7/2020): After testing Typhon’s, realized I had forgotten about the 3rd gem in my calcs. Updated math from previous post and updating recommendation here to 1400% to 1500%.

Disclaimer: the above is a general estimate. Values above don’t account for variances in builds (such as using / not using Arcane Dynamo, attunement, spellsteal, etc.).

Despite these, I think the above paints a clear picture of how much the 6pc bonus would actually need to be competitive with LoD Mammoth.

We’re talking 1400% to 1500% per head, not 1300% per head.
