==Trait Synergies==Hydra benefits directly from the following [[Wizard traits]]:* No [[Glass Cannonsynergies]]: Increases damage done by spells and increases armor.* [[Intimidation]]: Increases damage done and reduces vendor costs.* [[Quickening]]: Increases spell casting speed.* [[Beast Hunter]]: Damage bonus against beasts.* [[Demonsbane]]: Damage bonus against Demons.* [[Just...Stay...Dead!]]: Damage bonus against undead.* [[Power Surge]]: Increase critical strike damage.* [[Penetrating Spells]]: Reduces with any of the resistances of your target to your spells by 20%. '''Note:''' The current [[traitpassive skill]] list is very out-of-date and will no doubt be overhauled before game releases are yet known.
<blockquote>''You could only have one Hydra active at a time, and it had a slow firing rate. Like [[Meteor]], it was useful to stick these out there to let them ping away, hoping the damage would add up over time. They were very commonly used near the end of rounds, when one or two characters were chasing one on the other team. Most Wizards would cast Hydras in the path of the fleeing enemy, knowing they’d get in a shot or two and help finish them off.</blockquote>
Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Hydra became a level 22 skill.
