Skills

Blessed Presence

A very strong skill that allows Ares to increase his damage while still being a tank. Though this is a strong skill don't only buy aura items because there are better tank options that don't have the auras.

Shackles

This skill is a great skill to slow down an enemy so you can use No Escape. Take a level of it early but max it last.

Bolster Defense

This skill is VERY useful. This skill helps keep your allies, creep and even your minotaur alive a little longer. If you can, make sure to use Shackles in conjunction with it so you get the added bonus defense.

Searing Flesh

This skill is great for damage and harassment especially at early levels. If you can catch an enemy off guard and get the whole attack on them it could reduce their health somewhere along the 20-30% range early game.

No Escape

This is the most amazing skill in Smite so far. If the enemy doesn't have Purification Beads or if it isn't up for them at the time of the ult you could easily pull their whole team, stunning them for 1 second plus .3 seconds per enemy chained with the ult. This can allow your team to start skills such as Ymir's Shards of Ice then you can pull the enemy team into it.

Introduction

Just a litlle build from ares this is more tanky then dps but after all ares was made for getting alot of assist ^^

Pros and Cons

Pros:
-Can initiate team fights.
-Bring opposing players together.
-Many different ways to get good, unique builds.
Cons:
-Tanky, yet it's difficult to have a very high DPS.
-Can have very complicated builds and it is very difficult to tell precisely which build is

Summary

I am truly sorry for the lack of content in this guide but hope you will enjoy this item build and tell what i can change ! :)

He was stating that in the build this guide has posted that there are only three aura items. Not that there was only 3 aura items in the game total.

Sorry to be so negative, but getting a warlock's sash as the last item is bad, as it's a stacking item. Well, to be honest, it's just bad on Ares as a whole. I understand the stats are all good, but Ares can't farm for **** early game and even a bit into mid game. When mid game is halfway through, Ares gets better at farming, but it's already too late for stacks.

that isnt what he is saying I dont think. He was saying in the build there are 3 aura items when it was said to have no more than 2.

Far too short a build guide - actual game strategy is barely addressed and the information you do have isn;t very informative.

You say max Shackles last yet you max it second? And your skill sequence also maximises damage despite clearly stating many times that you are a tank, so the more logical option would be to max Bolster Defenses. Just my 2 cents.

I want you to think about that for a second.
Then do some math. What is 45% of 30?
Ill do this part for you, on average having that Spell pen is going raise your damage by a total of 6 points. Im sorry but if you need to buy Obsidian Shard instead of using your auto attack for the last 6 HP you are not a good player. Simple math and logical thinking show how wrong what you said is.

whether or not your enemies have resistance items, penetration IS ALWAYS a good thing. God typically start with 30 Magic resist so having 30 magic penetration will allow your abilities to do true damage. I disagree with the order of items here. Farming can be difficult with tanks early on so offensive items should be taken first. depending on who I'm laning against with ares I grab either mystical mark (if laning against physical damage), or voidstone (If laning against Magical damage). Mystical mark works wonders for farming speed along with getting kills especially early. Sovereignty is a great item on Ares, however buying it 4th or 5th would be more beneficial.

Actualy alot of gods can counter ares ulti ... like Sobek,Kali,Hades,Ra,Vamana and ymir (with there ulti)
Its sad in my opinion they shoud be obliged to buy beads and give a litlle advantage in the money with my team but i still like Ares alot and some enemies are just stupid and dont know this kind of stuff ^^
Hope you enjoyed this guide btw. ^_^

You should also mention the fact that beads will render your ultimate useless
and also hel will render your ultimate useless
