Diablo 4 Sorcerer BuildHydra - Hawk Tuah
Hydra is know by a few names. Cerberus. UwU Derp Danger Noodle. But one thing is for sure, his name is Dylan and he spit hot fire.
Hydra is back on the menu after a round of serious buffs to the skill and relevant damage multipliers. The addition of the Hydra Head Weapon Temper solidifies Hydra as a serious build that isn't to be laughed at anymore. This build utilizes both direct damage and burning damage over time.
Once you get the Tyrael's Might Mythic Unique Chest this build should really start to shine as every time you cast Hydra, the Tyrael's Bolts spawn and collapse inwards onto the spawn location. This build should be decently strong on bosses and visually appealing.
• Can kill T8 Horde bosses in 1:30 worst case scenario with Flame Boss
strengths
Single Target Damage- Visually Appealing
weaknesses
Area of Effect Damage- Burst Damage
Build Notes
This build spam casts Hydra, you do not sit there and let them attack • Hydra attacks very fast when initially casted, with all the heads rapidly firing the first attack • After the first round of Hydra spits, they begin to spit in a weird staggered rotation • Thus you get the most Hydra spits by Spam Casting for that fast first round of Spits! • Spam Casting will also get the most Value out of Tyrael's Might's Artillery Bolts
Cooldowns • Basically use all of your cooldowns whenever they come up, with the exception of Flame Shield which you often will save for dive bomb teleporting into supressor elites, and sparring with Desecrators
How this Build Works Hydra is a conjuration skill that deals fire damage. It lasts for a set duration spitting fire projectiles at enemies. You can increase the number of heads from a base of 3 to a whopping 16 total heads!
How Hydra Scales Damage Half of Hydra's damage is direct fire damage and can critically strike. The other half is burning fire damage from the Summoned Hydra Node that is a damage over time, which cannot critically strike.
As a result we try to balance the two damage types, as you don't want to only scale 1 side of the coin. This is done through taking Hydra Damage Tempers to scale the base damage, and then attempting to take as many generic damage multipliers such as the Tactician glyph.
Tyrael's Might is special with Hydra Tyrael's Might is a Mythic Unique Chest that provides a lot of damage reduction. In addition when you are full health, casting a skill will create artillery shrine bolts. It is special with hydra because every cast will create 8 or so artillery bolts that collapse inward onto the spot Hydra was casted. It is hands down the best skill Sorcerer has to utilize Tyrael's Might. It aids tremendously in clearing trash.
