Hydra Season 2 Rotation Pros & Cons

In this short blog post I share the Pros & Cons of Hydra Heads Season 2 Rotation in RAID.

The Heads of Decay and Suffering are taken out of the front line-up and Heads of Blight and Wrath added. This creates a number of advantages and disadvantages:

  • We will have multiple poisons, poison explosion, poison cloud and leech from the Head of Blight. All of this makes it harder to survive.
  • HOWEVER, we will no longer have the cleanses from the Head of Decay which means we can load as many debuffs on all the Hydra Heads as we want. Especially AOE Attack down and Defense down (+ Weaken + Slow if possible) and filling up the rest with other debuffs such as HP Burn and Poisons.
  • Then the Head of Wrath will bring very powerful attacks which have the potential to wipe out the whole team not letting players to replay.
  • HOWEVER, we will no longer have all the Head protections from the Head of Suffering, which means they will have 50 less resistance and will take 20% more AOE damage!

Note: we have to put all the debuffs BEFORE the Poison Cloud because it forces Weak Hits which do not allow debuffs (unless it is a "Place" type debuff).
