The trick with Venom Hydra is to try keep your enemies grouped around it. That means, if your hydra attacks for 2k damage, and you manage to keep an enemy standing relatively still, there is very rapidly going to form a pool of venom underneath him that ticks for 20,000 damage.
You have to understand how it works: Venom Hydra spits out acid attacks, which hit enemies and do damage, however those acid attacks also drop a stacking AoE DoT at the enemy's feet, which stacks up to (I believe) ten times. Either teleport far away in order to put some distance between a group that's too powerful for you, or teleport a few inches away, in order to create two mirror images that will keep the monsters standing in place for a short bit, long enough for an extra few acid stacks from Venom Hydra.Īt first, I thought Venom Hydra was going to suck, but in reality it is absolutely incredible. When you teleport, you create two mirror images at the location where you land, which significantly cuts the amount of attention your own character receives. We'll discuss the use of it later, but just understand that it's a combination of Teleport and Mirror Image, which is incredibly useful for effectively any situation. This right here is one of the most glorious combinations in this build. It's a bonus, it's not your mainstay damage dealer. The point of this is, only use shock pulse when you aren't taking damage. Depending on the situation, this is either going to be the majority of your damage (such as when standing back and nuking a grouped pack of slow monsters), or it is going to be very sparingly used (such as when kiting an elite pack of extra fast monsters).
