Heh heh. Yeah, tell that to the enemy Bacchus in this game: he ran at us and was punished for it most times. I built the way I did because we were ahead and I was only worried about the enemy Nox (hence the missing Spirit Robe from your builds); I didn't see Vulcan as a threat because he dropped his on ult me twice and barely effected me. He did get an easy kill when I was low and didn't notice it, but that was it. If we were even or behind, I would have dropped spear of magus and probably gone with Emperor's Armor instead (another item missing from your build lists).

Right now I cannot in good conscience recommend these builds. If you want to discuss them, I'm more than happy to explain why I don't think they're good and give you examples of items that you should include. I will say that Bacchus should always have Void Stone either 2nd or 3rd after boots unless there are no magical threats on the enemy team.

Your builds aren't troll, but they aren't very good either. That blaster build needs to go, though, because it's totally not viable. Not only are you stealing farm from your teammates with Book of Thoth, Bacchus doesn't have the best scaling so that extra power is pretty much wasted. Revise your builds or explain why you picked the items you did and didn't list the ones that were mentioned and we'll talk. Otherwise I wish you a good day.

I'm a better Bacchus than you, Gulf. Muffin FTW. Also I'm working on my beer belly. Now I just need a farmer's tan.

I would say it wasn't even about the build he used though. He missed his flops and belches on me multiple times. I'd say the skill level there wasn't good to begin. His build was mostly okay. Only one I scratch my head at is Heartward Amulet.

Also, it's not fun playing against Nox =(

Not sure if this is for Conquest or other modes, but Stone of Fal should never be purchased on Bacchus (AND you overcap CDR on that first build.........).

Hide of the Urchin is also probably not preferred. There are plenty of solid tank items that provide some additional benefit/utility.

Midgardian Mail, Spirit Robe, Void Stone, and Oni Hunter's Garb are nowhere to be seen as options.

The blaster build is awful. Please don't get Book of Thoth on him. He's best as a bruiser, so you want to focus on pen (where the F is the pen???) over power, and CDR is still functional when you're going damage. If anything, you should be strongly considering Stone of Binding and Void Stone to boost your damage. Soul Reaver is also good in S5, but in S6, it's probably not going to be recommended.

Stone of Fal shouldn't be built on anybody.
