Hi,

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.

keep you hot hydro build, but use ice wall, or flash freeze, its an easier battle with fewer enemies attacking you

Uhh... Karkan, I think you mean concur...

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?

Obviously my math is off in the above.
Take 1x Ice Wall off
Reduce Lasting pain to 3/4
Reduce Regulate to 1/3

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.

Turn 1: Both allies on Defensive, Flash Freeze on Top Wolf
Turn 2: Roald Aggro, Ice Wall Veradux
Turn 3: Flash Freeze Top Wolf
Turn 4: Ice Wall Top Wolf
Turn 5: Dead Man's Plea Veradux
Turn 6: Ice Wall Veradux
Turn 7: Flash Freeze Top Wolf

Continue ad nauseum.
