I saw a thread early talking about hydras and it made me think, why would anyone use them. I tried a hydra build a while back and it took forever to kill anything. Can someone who is experienced in the ways of the hydra please educate me (or refer me to material) that helps me wrap my head around this skill?
If you get the serpent wand (which imho is a must for hydras) then it acts almost like a immortal kings build for barbs. I personally use mine with a mirrorball and a Vyr set. So, once my archon wears off I can put up 2 hydras and Spam MM for some pretty good dps. The only downside to this build is that I either have zero CC or have to drop sparkflint to grab blackhole but it helps to keep your dps while archon is on CD.
If you are fire you can use the mammoth hydras and with two of them down they hit pretty hard but it is only a build that works on higher torment levels where things dont get 1 shit (which imho works well with MM conflag as that is based on a stacking dot). So, basically you spend 2 globals putting up hydras, pop BH if you have it and then go to town spamming MM.
The most important (yet often forgotten) power of the hydra is that it will always deal damage.. Even when you're running around desperatly trying to get that health orb or running away from rotating pink lasers.
