Literally the only reason I chose to use Corruption for this was because of the artwork....so perhaps they could reassign the artwork to these shoulders but keep their original functionality and apply it to a new pair? OR.....they could just make a more "Hydra friendly" looking pair of shoulders. I personally think this game is missing a serious amount of viable legendary shoulders....I mean especially with what Demonmonger said about the "ignores durability shoulders" like wtf is that Blizzard?

Support Items:
Magistrate- Your Frost Hydra periodically casts Frost Nova
Ancient Parthan Defenders- Each Stunned enemy within 25 yards reduces your damage taken by 12%

Ring of Royal Grandeur- reduces the number of items needed for set bonuses by 1 (to a minimum of 2).
New/Revamped Items:

(Blackhand Key) Spine of Three Heads- Enemies affected by your Blizzard receive 100-150% more damage from your Hydra.
(Overwhelming Desire) Red Banded Constrictor- Enemies affected by your Black Hole are immobilized and receive 80-100% more damage from your Hydra for 5 seconds.
