I'm currently attempting to obtain legendary with my Hydro. I'm stuck in W5 against the Caretaker and two Hellhounds. Cold builds can't bring anyone down, and hot builds can take down one hell hound before I start losing people. This is all assuming that I don't get killed before I can act, of course.
And yeah... their right. Max Ice wall and if you have the points (doubtful) max freeze so you can get 2 of them... Either way, they stop the others from hitting you/hitting nearly as hard. The long term statuses ought to be doing most of your damage.
Okay, here is my hypothetical build 1/4 Mind Freeze (Prereq) 3/4 Flash Freeze (Allows 2x Flash Freeze) 4/4 Ice Wall (More Crowd Control) 4/4 Impair 1/1 Hot Blooded 1/4 Warm Neurology 1/1 Avenger Form 4/4 Decimate 3/3 Regulate 4/4 Lasting Pain
Command Wheel looks like Regulate x1 (For when down to two or one enemy) Impair x1 Decimate x2 Ice Wall x2 Flash Freeze x2 Avenger Form x1 (Mostly used for full focus refresh)
Turn order (assuming I don't instantly lose round 1 from double wolf crits on Sonny)
Set both Veradux and Raould to Phalanx, Flash Freeze (top wolf) Raould to High Aggro, Impair (bottom wolf) Flash Freeze (Top wolf) Decimate (bottom wolf) Ice Wall (Top Wolf) Avenger Form (Focus refill) Decimate (Bottom Wolf) Flash Freeze (Bottom Wolf) Ice Wall (Top Wolf)
Continue until victory, or do you suggest something else?
Okay, figure people will appreciate learning how to defeat this one.
This was my build upon successfully defeating the Caretaker in Zone 5 for a Legendary run.
4/4 Ice Wall 1/4 Mind Freeze (Prereq) 4/4 Flash Freeze 1/4 Cold Neurology 1/1 Guardian Form 4/4 Dead Man's Plea 4/5 Stiff Upper Lip (And 1/X of relevent prereqs)
Put all points into Vitality.
