Talk:Staff of the Frost Hydra

Has anyone managed to make a Mythical staff of Frost Hydra? I think it's impossible.
 * I have. Like most reforging, it takes a bit of (good) luck and a lot of spare platinum coins. Or you could just get really, REALLY lucky and naturally find a MYTHICAL Frost Hydra Staff when opening a Frozen Chest in the Dungeon. Don't give up; it's not impossible. 173.228.18.131 00:06, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I just reforged it to Mythical in 1.2.1.2. 100+ platinum. Thanx for verifying!

Modifier
Most of the "Mythical" mods only affect the initial summoning, and minions cannot critically hit. The best possible modifier is therefore Ruthless, which deals extra damage with (virtually) no downside. I have updated the page to reflect this.

is this really a summon weapon? I'd class it more as a magic one. it isnt affected by summon bonuses, doesn't count to your summon total, isn't permanent, is stationary ect.

It does deal minion damage, and is affected by boosts to minion damage, so it's an atypical minion. I question whether or not ruthless is actually the best modifier for this weapon, though, namely due to the fact that, unlike other summon weapons, this one does have high knockback, and the fact that it has to be repeatedly summoned over periods of time, so wouldn't masterful or mythical be a better modifier for this weapon?
