diablo-3diablo-3-wizard

As per the title, does the Wizard's lightning hydra proc the passive to stun mobs?

Best Answer

Amongst other abilities, Hydra with the Lightning rune do not cause the Paralysis passive to proc. The abilities reported to be affected by this are:

Storm armor's basic damage component
Lightning Hydra
Dartling

Source, second source.

For attacks that hit multiple enemies, Yes.

I haven't explicitly tested all on-hit effects. I will update this answer as I do.

Life on hit: Confirmed. With a +2 life on hit weapon equipped, I often saw healing popups of +6, +8, +10, etc while using area attacks that hit multiple targets.

Chance on hit to fear: Confirmed. Using Deadly Reach I saw two enemies get feared and run away.

Diablo – What’s the wizard’s main strength (or role)

The wizard needs some time to become really effective. A friend of mine complained about his wizard the same way you do until he hit lvl 25 and got the meteor skill.

The archon ability also boosts your damage tremendously while giving you a lot of sustain. Not to mention Teleport and the different armor types like ice armor and diamond skin which are powerful tools in the wizards's skill set to keep him/her alive while dishing out damage.

Try to experiment with different combinations and really use every rune at least once to know what your character is potentially capable of. If you find that the wizards is not working at all it might just not be your playstyle.
