Seeing as the Spiritborn will be getting a class specific mythic in the expansion, I thought it would be an interesting exercise to see what us forum dwellers could come up with for our favorite classes.
Lucky hit: up to 25% chance for any attack to critically overpower.
When this weapon makes contact with an enemy, a lightning explosion erupts dealing 600%x of your damage over time bonus as physical damage to the target and 100% weapon damage as lightning damage over time to nearby enemies.
Enemies affected by lightning damage are immobilized for 2 seconds and take 50%x increased damage for 5 seconds.
This weapon automatically returns to you after being thrown.
as a FO / Hydra lover, this could be interesting if not for the “other active no longer do damage” maybe if it was other conjurations no longer do damage instead of all acitve?
Or if you really want to make hydra the only active damage why not change +3 to conjurations to +4 to Hydra?
May as well make the implicit to burn damage as well to keep it pure to intent and not have it be bastardized for LS builds although the need for splintering energy might keep LS away from this anyway.
You don’t get it at all.
I want a pure hydra build because there isn’t any in the game.
I don’t want FO or LS to even take a part in this build.
Every build that actually exists is not a hydra build, it’s even fo or ls.
Hydra as main damage dealer is non-existent in the game.
I try this to make viable in every season.
It’s too weak.
i’m with you most of the way on this idea, it’s just that i feel the need to have something else more active to compliment hydra maybe Hydra/firebolt. I totally get wanting hyrda to be the main driver just don’t know what i’d be doing once all the hydras were down and spamming hydra like my current FO/Hydra loses a bit of appeal if the FO it currently spawns does no dmg. I guess it could still proc andy/tyrael.
Edit: Hell if this was an amulet instead of a staff it could even supplant Winterglass and allow you to add in Doombringer to the procs 0.o
Nice ideas!
Unfortunatelly I think that Blizzard does not have on radar that some people want to play a build with hydra as main damage dealer.
In the worst case scenario they are aware but don’t want that build to be in the game because “necro should be the real summoner” or something like that.
haha well it doesn’t hurt to share the ideas! You never know some poor shcmoe may be tasked with finding a way to make flame based sorc more appealing and find your post
Would be better to split this topic into item-postings and discussion so Blizzard could just scroll through the item ideas and maybe they will implement some similar things… xD
Whenever I see items or game mode ideas in the forums, my first thought is that blizzard would just ignore them IF they ever saw them in the first place. And to be fair, most ideas that show up in the forums are dumb. I do like a lot of the above mythic ideas though
Instead of focusing on Hydra, you need to focus on Burn instead. It’s more flexible than just buffing Hydra which indirectly also makes LS even more OP. I guess we wanted that to be more OP
I want Burn-based mythic to be buffed. Or maybe a class specific DoT Uber.
Alternatively just bring back the scaling Hydra from S0 and S1. No need for mythic. Back then folks thought it was broken but compare to the builds we have now (not only Sorc), the scaling Hydra is laughable so I guess now it might be acceptable.
I tried to give an idea for hydra with not buffing LS by saying “other active skills do no damage anymore”
Maybe that was a dumb idea… xD
But yes… you are absolutely right… they just have to buff the hydra skill itself by a lot and the build will be viable.
Hydra was so good in the beta and they nerfed it into the ground… ;(
