Introduction

Sobek is one of the most inherently tanky gods in the game but is also one of the highest damaging guardians. Sobek is a great offensive support that is extremely safe to play as well, with all of his abilities dealing damage while also helping him to survive.
This build has been built up for over two years now and has finally reached its best, (both of them), and has proven itself an amazing build even at high level play.

Pros/Cons

Pros

    High defense
    High support Damage
    High survivability
    High CC
    High pressure
    Decent initiation
    Good at singling out targets
    Decent sustain

Cons
    Can be poked out easily
    Missing Charge Prey can result in death
    Uses abilities quickly
    Uses mana frequently

How To Play

In the early stages of the game with Sobek you will want to put as much pressure on the lane as you can. How I do this is by first healing off the wave with sickening strike (be sure to hit all minions if possible), immediately after that I pick the weaker target and throw them out of position with charge prey. Finally it is a good idea to try and knock them up out of their movement ability or you can use it to just put them further out of position.
Remember that his ultimate does not do very much damage at the start of the game unless it is fully charged.
In the mid and rotating phases of the game, Sobek is mainly used to single out targets that make for easy kills, however this is risky so be careful not to over extend. Lurking In The Waters is also a great objective secure ultimate, not only because of the high damage output that is possesses but also because of its large radius, meaning that even if the Gold Fury or Fire Giant is no secured, the opposing team will be at rather low percentages of health.

No offense, but this guide kinda sucks. Celestial Legion Helm is never core AFAIK and should only be a counter to hunters who build crit. Mystical Mail should only be built on a few warriors like Chaac or Amaterasu. For guardians, there are just better items than that. I'd recommend throwing in Gem of Isolation or possibly Midgardian Mail somewhere in your build instead.

On top of that, there is practically no BB Code and it is very boring to look at. You also go into very little detail while claiming you've been building this up for 2 years. I'd think you should have a little more to say if that is the case. Maybe check out my Medusa guide for some general ideas on what to add and how to make it nicer to look at.
