Zeus, Greek God of the Sky
|
Below, I've listed the items involved in my builds, as well as a brief explanation behind why I chose them. I will be going into greater detail about the items and the kit (as well as Abilities) in later sections regarding Early, Mid, and Late Gameplay.
Every good build starts with a choice in Shoes. For me, I always grab Shoes of Focus, especially for Zeus. They give me a nice Magical Power, Cooldown Reduction, and Mana buff. The Cooldown Reduction and Mana buffs are more useful than the extra Magical Power provided by Shoes of the Magi. Plus, Cooldown Reduction will be a big part of this build. |
Bancroft's Talon is a really interesting first pick for Zeus. I was playing with an online friend when I decided to grab it as Item 2. It shocked me how good it was because I normally go Warlock's Sash for Item 2. Bancroft's Talon excels at granting a large Magical Power buff when you're Health is low. This makes it great to us Detonate Charge if it looks like you may die as it will now deal a lot more damage. Great for finishing kills in tight situations throughout the game. |
Warlock's Sash | We put off purchasing this staple for one item round, but we're gonna grab it now so we can farm some stacks. Warlock's Sash is a core part of any Mage build due to the fact that it grants a large Magical Power, Health, and Mana buff that will be critical in the late game once farming is complete. |
Meditation | Although our build containt a lot of MP5 buffs, Meditation is an essential pick for maintaining a full Mana pool especially in the early game when we will have less MP5 buffs. This doesn't need to be upgraded (unless you like the appeal of Greater Meditation or Salvation as we mainly grab it for the instant 75% Mana refill. |
Eventually, you will be targeted. Your a squishy damage dealer and you're probably gonna be seen as a threat to your enemies. So when you find yourself in a tight spot just pop this and walk away. For 2s, you're Invulnerable. And with the power of Bancroft's Talon behind you, you should be able to finish the enemy off or survive long enough for reinforcements. |
This guide is a Work In Progress (WIP). As such, more information will come when I have the time to post more. For now, enjoy what is posted. In the comments section below, give me some constructive criticism as well as requests for future sections. Thanks, MattNorton365.
