Wizard Mammoth Hydra Build With LoD
Welcome to our build guide for LoD Mammoth Hydra Wizard in Diablo 3. Here, you will learn everything you need to know to play this build at the highest level. This build is updated for Patch 2.7.1 and Season 24.
Introduction
The ancient item-driven counterpart to the Typhon's Veil playstyle, this fiery reconstruction of the Hydra build takes advantage of the Legacy of Dreams versatility and a slew of synergystic legendaries to create a tough and adaptable summoner spec. This steadily paced, sustain damage build is meant for Greater Rift solo progression.
