Hi! I really liked to play blizzard/ poison hydra/ shock pulse back in the days when D3 came out. So I wanted to try something similar for the seasons when they hit live servers. The idea is simple, black hole to pull everyone in, blizzard to freeze for a really nice duration and hydra for fire dps.
I also tried to make a tutorial for it, I am a newbie on that field, so if you have some suggestions, leave a comment
I think this build actually has potential to build into something nice if you stack lightning dmg and and CDR, putting the lightning storm rune on blizzard and the lightning rune for hydra, or simply swapping hydra for the lightning runed Archon for melting those elites. You progression in tiered rifts will be hindered most by the speed that you can keep elites so therefore you'll need some kind of nuke for each other the elite packs.

Since you can easily incorporate 3-4 elements into this build, I would imagine it synergizes very well with Tal Rasha's 6pc? And if you can incorporate Arcane then you can get that 3000%+ damage meteors (see next 2.1 PTR patch) every 8 seconds to help with elites.

Thanks for responses. I will definitely try out some lightning variant when I get some needed gear. This is a starting torment build, not meant to be played "as is" later, in greater rifts. Fire build seems superior atm (considering current ptr patch notes).

I agree, Tal Rasha would be THE next upgrade for this build. Elites give me most problems.
Electrocute - Lightning blast should deal 2x more damage than other runes (sourcehttps://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/8770117237#7). So try it if there isn't any specific reason to use chain lightning.
Thanks for showing that blizzard can replace frost nova. It's seems better than frost nova for hydra builds, because it's ranged and can proc elemental exposure
Thanks for the tip. There is not a specific reason to use chain lightning, AOE dmg is already really nice, and Black Hole and Blizzard keep them in place.
Yea, I was kinda surprised when I saw you can almost permafreeze mobs with it. I guess some more arcane power generation, Tal Rasha 3 peace bonus and Templar would make it a bit more spamable, along with reduced cost of skills. Will need to toy a bit more with this build.
