I always have farmed hydras outside augory, its my favourte place to farm, and i kinda got tired of the traditional 55 monk or 600 monk.
Since i also enjoyed the days of the prot bond 55 monking I kinda thought about how i could enjoy this again, so i came up with this build.
build code: OwUUMEH/YoQaR3VGE0kHAyD6DHEA
This build will work with any elemental based damage, you just need to switch the mantra out with the matching damage you are expecting.
Though it's possible without the mantra i would not recomend it, in the case of too much damage at once you will not be able to regenerate enough energy. The mantra helps alot with this.
First off, the equipment, max AL armor with survivor (sure you could go with something else, but the max armor is required, we dont want to trigger prot bond on something trivial)
Next off you need a +1+3 prot prayers head peice for casting protective bond a +2 would also do, but the +3 runes are cheap now.
You also need a +1 +3 smiting prayers head peice for your damage.
a +20% enchantments staff would do the job, anything else does not matter.
Usage:
cast your bonds, switch to smite rune, essence bond, balth spirit.
Cast your mantra
shout IAU before going into combat, followed by SoA whenever its ready.
and cast spirit bond to regain health.
remember to keep SoA and the mantra active and you should have no problem.
Enjoy, i certainly am
