I have a question. Is there some sort of bug where all your attacks miss for hydraulic? I'm playing on easy to test out the class, but i'm getting less than half my hits in.

I prefer attacks from all trees:

Vapor cannon
Slam
Flash freeze( or mind freeze)
Restore
Wreck*
Frost
Hypothermia
An empty spot(you can place whatever you want here. I usually choose Shatter)

This is fighting clean without using your abilities effects and it is again pretty strong(this sounds ridiculous i know but it was my first class when i first played sonny 2 and my first tree)

*you can use demolish instead of wreck

Some of my hydraulic Build during my Legend run:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1# DOT Tank
Objective: Tank yourselves and using DOT(Damage-over-time) skill to damage your enemies at the

same time.

Skill needed: (Maxed = Higher Priority)
Ice Wall (Maxed)
Flash Freeze
Restore
Cold Neurology (Maxed)
Hypothermia / Decimate
Lasting Pain

Additional Skill:
Decimate / Hypothermia(Additional DOT power)
- or -
Vascular Arrest (Prevent enemy's healing)
- or -
Subvention (Escape certain death like Warden's Death Sentence.)

Attribute: ALL Strength

Pros:
Even The Guardian's 16000 shot can only deal <4000 to you. You can restore your health to cover

the damage you take.
Damage some "Direct Damage Shielder" such as The enemy before Corrupter's Stage and Corrupter.

herself.

Cons:
Pathetic direct damage and low DOT.

The build is used to solo some tough Boss(s) if Shatter fail to "one-shot" your enemies.(e.g.

Twin Guardian)
Using Icy Wall can reduce the damage you taken (75%) and boost the healing(restore) you received.

While it also reduce your direct damage, it will NOT affect your DOTs.
DOT of Hydraulic is pathetic compared to Psycho. So patience is the most skill you need.

Steps:
1.Cast Ice Wall to yourself first.
2.Hypothermia / Decimate your enemies.
3.Recast Ice Wall if it indicate "1".
4.Hypothermia / Decimate your enemies again.
5.Cast Flash Freeze on your enemy if Ice Wall indicate "1".

Although Decimate has higher DOT than Hypothermia, you can barely hit anything post zone 5 due to

your low speed. So the lower CD , lasted longer Hypothermia maybe an alternative.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2#Stun Lock Hot-Blooded
Build based on the "Hot-blooded" mentioned here, but replace Bloodshed to Flash Freeze, and max

Regulate.

Objective: Stun your enemy, damage/destroy him before he can hit you.

Skill needed: (Maxed = Higher Priority)
Flash Freeze (Maxed)
Regulate (Maxed)
Hot Blooded
Warm Neurology
Decimate / Demolish / Wreck  - leveling them as you see fit.You just need 2 of them.

Additional Skill:
Lasting Pain(Additional Decimate's DOT)
- or -
Stiff Upper Lip (More health so enemy won't target you too much. )
- or -
Restore (Recover you health AND Focus)
- or -
Vapor Cannon (if you don't use Restore)

Attribute: ALL Strength

Pros:
High direct damage without "Buffing"
Lock a target, and damage/destroy him without needed to defend.

Cons:
You are just a glass unit thanks to Warm Neurology, and you can't heal your team.
Facing high speed enemies (e.g. hounds) may post a problem.
Useless against some "Direct damage Shielder" such as The enemy before Corrupter's Stage and

Corrupter herself.

Steps:
1.Flash your enemy.
2.Decimate / Demolish / Wreck him
3.Flash him again.
4.Decimate / Demolish / Wreck him again.
5.If the enemy is dead, Regulate another enemy.If not, Regulate him.
6.Restore yourself.
