Hydrosphere is a skill gem that creates a sphere of water, or moves an existing sphere and resets its duration. The sphere continually applies a drenched debuff with a short duration to enemies in its area or those it moves through. You can hit the sphere with other skills to inflict cold and lightningailments (other than chill). The sphere pulses at regular intervals while afflicted by an ailment, and after moving, damaging all drenched enemies in a large area with that ailment. It is classified as an Intelligence Skill Gem.
Skills that hit enemies can also hit the hydrosphere. This can happen even when no enemies are around.[1] The hydrosphere itself cannot be targeted, so skills that require a specific target and are not merely cast at a location will typically not work with Hydrosphere.
