Hydra dmg. Hiow good can it get?

[Doc]

Hiya all.

  I wanted to ask the ppl that have used Hydra to some extent.  I am thinking about making a hydra sorc and was woundering what kind of damage that the hydra could do with mabe 1 or 2 max synergies.  I know that the hydra damage is 135-161 at 20 with no synergies but with hell/realm monsters in mind its far for a good skill for those type of monsters (In my apinion) as apposed to mabe a fireball or meteor skill with the same points spent.  This sorc with be played onlline on the realms hell in mind.  Thx for the help in advance.

Hydra is no Meteor or Firewall.

That said, Hydra is supremely powerful, but only in the hands of a highly skilled and smart driver. It can, at times, be a lot more powerful than Meteor... Not in the damage numbers, but in how it is used. Hydra is fire and forget. It is a scout, a steady damage dealer, a ranged artillery piece, and a source for choke point massacres. It is not an instakill spell, it is not one shot death. It is a source of safety. It can fire arround corners and kill enemies that you will never see. It toasts gloams and things like black souls in relative safety. It allows you to safely kill all act end bosses with out ever once looking at any of them if you are skilled.

Hydra is, in the end, what you make of it. In the hands of a thoughtful imaginative well skilled player, Hydra is a wonder to behold.
