Pre-PTR thoughts on the Wizard's new Hydra Set

Imo, it’s not an issue for sets to boost most, if not all, skills. Boosting specific skills is where legendary powers should come in.

Random legendary powers:
• Enemies hit by blizzard takes XX% more damage from your pets, blizzard deals XXX% more damage and last X seconds longer.
• Casting a blizzard over a hydra will destroy the hydra and release a wave or nova that deals XXXX%.
• Increase Mirror Images life and attack speed by 50%, Mirror Images deal 100% more damage.
• Upon taking fatal damage, instead kill an active Mirror Image and heal to 70% of your maximum hp. This effect cannot occur again within 125 seconds.
• Hydras within 30 yards of each other are linked together with a fire chain that deals XXX% damage. Regenerate 1-3% of your maximum arcane power whenever a linked hydra attacks.
• Casting three blizzards within close proximity of one another, turns the blizzards into a slab of ice that’ll deal XXXX% over 3 seconds. Or Blizzard now deals XXXX% over 3 seconds, but now cost 120 arcane power to cast.
