Attack870 Guide: Packmaster Shy’ek
In short
Packmaster Shy'ek is a Legendary Orc HP-type with Force affinity. He shines in Hydra, the Orc Faction Crypt and long fights alongside his hounds: self-heal, shields, Taunt and Block Buffs. Build him for HP, SPD and ACC first.
Strengths
- HP-scaled kit: A1 hits for 0.2×HP, A2 heals 50% of max HP and turns the overheal into a shield.
- Alpha of the Pack: self-cleanse, heal, shield, Taunt and 30% Reflect Damage; with at least one hound ally these buffs cannot be removed, stolen or transferred.
- Bloodhowl fills all allies' Turn Meters by 25% and places Block Buffs on all enemies at 80–100%; with a hound it cannot be resisted.
- Passive: when hit, places Hex on the attacker; allies deal +20% damage to his Hex targets and all hound allies counterattack.
- Aura: +19% SPD in all battles.
Weaknesses
- Best effects need a hound on the team — a real teambuilding restriction.
- Base SPD 98 and ACC 10 are low; he needs gear to cycle properly.
- Weak for Clan Boss (2.0/5): no poisons or HP burn, unreliable boss damage.
- Reflect Damage is only 30%, not a main damage source.
Where to use
Best area is Hydra (4.5/5): Block Buffs, Taunt and survivability are exactly what it wants. Orc Faction Crypt (5/5) is his home. Also Doom Tower (4.0) and Chimera (4.0). Arena (3.5), Dungeons (3.5) and Hard mode (3.5) are situational, depending on the stage and team. Skip him for Clan Boss (2.0).
Stats and gear
Priority: HP% → SPD → ACC. Targets for Hydra and Doom Tower: 70–90k HP, 220–260 SPD, 200–250 ACC (even if Block Buffs is unresistable with a hound, Hex still wants ACC). RES is optional, 200+ for Hydra. Do not build crit — his damage comes from HP.
Sets: Perception (SPD + ACC), Regeneration or Reflex for cycling, Retaliation for counterattacks, Guardian, Protection or Bolster to protect the team. For Hydra, 2×Perception + Regeneration works well.
Masteries and blessings
Key masteries: Invigorated (HP), Expeditious Exploitation (SPD), Gathering Momentum; tank/support Defense and Support trees suit him. Blessings: Brimstone for extra damage or Lightning cage for protection. Relics: Journal of Necrotos, Wand of Submission, Perched Shadow.
Tomes
Book Bloodhowl first: two books take Block Buffs from 80% to 100%, the third lowers the cooldown. Then Alpha of the Pack for -2 cooldown. A1 last, if you want more damage or debuff chance.
Verdict
A niche but excellent Hydra and Orc Faction Crypt specialist. He reaches full value with a hound ally; without one he is just a durable tank.
