Going by everyone's previous comments, you still haven't listed spear of magus as core.They’re not going to and it doesen’t really matter at this pointPls disregard my earlier comment.

[notes] => Get Spear as third item. ( [url] => serqet Bancroft's can be a flex/situational pick, but the standard top 4 of Focus, Chronos, Magus, and Gem are not only functional for Conquest, but for any teamfight mode.Cooldown boots, gem of iso, spear of magus, then any other 3 items you want.cd boots, spear of the magus, bancroft's talon , gem of iso, chronos pendant and whatever you want/needLiterally anything.

Your source for all things Smite builds and the current meta. Also when his frostbolt says it deals bonus damage to anyone afflicted by a slow, it ends up applying gem's slow first, then doing the damage calculation for frostbolt, essentially meaning it doesn't need his blizzard to setup the bonus damage.Those 4 are kind of his core items, so what you build next can be pretty situational, but shaman's ring and rod of tahuti are both nice cause they round the build out with some high power, and have some pretty decent passives. ) ( You can buy many different other items, but your damage anytime will be the same."

Hi guys, I’m pretty new to this game, my friend put me onto it, slowly getting better. Thanks! [display_name] => Nox [display_name] => Athena [god_id] => 59 [scoreVal] => 2 [0] => Array Find top Merlin build guides by Smite players. By your logic I can build 6 magical defense items and still have the same damage output.I tested different builds, including yours. MFN.

[god_id] => 34 ( [url] => poseidon ) [url] => da-ji Off the top of my head some of the most important are; ALWAYS build antiheal (divine ruin) if they have a healer like Aphrodite or Hel, build %-based penetration (obsidian shard) if they have more than 2 tanks (or maybe even if they only have 2, but they're a big problem for your team), and consider building a defense item if you're getting jumped on a lot by the likes of assassins especially, but warriors as well - mantle of discord's stats and passive can really work wonders.Feel free to ask if there's something I left out or didn't explain properly :)Bancroft talon is almost core on him since it provides mana and a way to survive a gank thanks to his high aoe damage.
[url] => athena This is still 100% a core item for him.Spear of the Magus is for tanks and squishies. [scoreVal] => 3 Build all the rings, you’ll still hit a full prot Ganesha for 800Chronos Pendant, Spear of Magus, and Gem of Isolation are all core regardless of the game mode.Due to his ability spamming nature, he also pairs excellently with Soul Reaver (even post nerf), Soul Gem, Shaman's Ring, and potentially Rod of Tahuti, although that's still generally an over costed that doesn't work super well most of the time.
