Diablo 3 Legacy of Dreams Hydra Wizard Build

Hydra is one of the most iconic sorceress spells from Diablo II. In the third part, this skill has become more universal and made it possible to create a build based on it. Not without the help of the Legacy of Dreams gem, of course. This build allows you to keep your distance from dangerous opponents, leaving the killing of monsters to your pet Hydra. Moreover, in addition to good protection, LoD builds also have the main advantage – the lack of binding to the set, which affects the variability of the equipment, which can be replaced at will. Except, of course, the key Legendaries for damage and defense.
