[edit] Notes

• Spacing and movement are crucial to surviving an encounter with Mahgo Hydras. On the most basic level, these maneuvers prevent Meteor Shower from pummeling your party.
• Protection Prayers like Protective Spirit and Protective Bond that limit the amount of damage dealt to a player are highly useful in neutralizing the havoc these creatures can cause.
• Interrupts can largely neutralize Mahgo Hydras as well. Skills like Concussion Shot, Broad Head Arrow and Skull Crack work best, as they cause the Hydra to become Dazed, which both slows down their casting ability, as well as making them easily interrupted.
• Despite being casters, Hydras use melee attacks on close targets rather than the standard wanding attacks.
