The core idea of this build is all about spamming Ice Hydra summons for insane, consistent AoE damage. You’re keeping those Hydras active non-stop, melting everything around you. Combine that with Mana Shield, and your survivability skyrockets — you can stand in the middle of fights and not break a sweat.

Adding a mix of frost and lightning skills gives you the perfect combination of burst damage and utility. Basically, you’re a mobile, high-damage frost-lightning powerhouse. If you love summoning Hydras and watching everything crumble, this build is pure fun.

Skills and How to Use Them

Your main damage comes from Ice Hydra, which summons multiple frost-spitting Hydras to deal constant damage. To supplement that, use Ball Lightning for extra ranged elemental damage — it pairs perfectly with your Hydras. Lightning Spear helps increase the effectiveness of your summons while also adding coverage for extra burst. Finally, Mana Shield converts nearly all of your health into mana and boosts mana regeneration when you’re not taking damage, making you extremely durable.

Talent Guidance

Focus on three main talents to maximize your Hydras’ potential. Frost Element cranks up the damage of your Ice Hydra, making each summon hit harder. Lightning Element enhances Ball Lightning and Lightning Spear, giving you stronger burst and more utility. Summoning Affinity is essential, increasing both the number and strength of your Hydras so your summons can dominate the battlefield. Together, these talents keep your damage high, your bursts sharp, and your Hydras unstoppable.

Gear Recommendations

For gear, prioritize items that enhance your Hydras and lightning skills. The Hail of Verglas helm boosts your Ice Hydra damage. Fists of Fate gloves increase the output of Ball Lightning, while Axial Conduit pants improve Lightning Spear effects. Flash Fire Aspect amulet adds overall lightning damage.The goal is to maximize both your damage and your survivability.

Leverage the bonuses from your legendary gear to enhance both survivability and damage. The key to this build is staying in rhythm: keep your Hydras active, spam your damage skills, and watch everything around you melt away.
