YOU DO NOT NEED A 15 PAGE GUIDE TO UNDERSTAND
I'm not teaching you how to play Smite, I'm telling you what works well for me- shortly and simply.
I've been playing Geb since he came out. At this point in time, 01-26-2014, I am rank 3 mastery with him and am currently at over 75% win percentage (25-8). I realize this isn't a conventional "guide" but this is here to show you in a nutshell what works very well for me- even with his recent nerf.
I start with Winged Wand for the health, cd reduction and the passive is great for escape. You should buy level 1 Meditation and two health potions. On my first return, I follow this up with the always necessary boots- either
or
work very well. This is where things start to become situational... Usually, I have returned to base after a initiate on the other team and have less than 500 gold- thus I buy Magi's Blessing because it is cheap. If you have enough gold you'll want to decided whether you feel your Physical/Magical reductions are sufficient at this time. Normally I feel too squishy and choose
, but
is equally as good in my opinion. Finally, and again based on your enemies damage type, pick between
for magic power/magic resist or
for the great physical reduction passive and magic power/physical reduction stats.
A brief overview on his combat and initiations:
Buy starting items, initiate the Mana Jungle buff for your team by utilizing all your abilities: roll into the pack, turn around, shockwave the pack, shield yourself and move to Damage Buff followed by speed buff. Using your abilities will help your team clear quickly and save you from taking damage- use Meditation and one of your health potions and you should be back to fighting shape.
I honestly just roll around as much as possible and continually pop the other teams more squishy players as often as possible and let my team initiate around my attacks. Geb does amazing Area of Effect damage once you have your ultimate and the fact he has a slow/knockback:
and two stuns:
/
allows you to hold an entire team in one spot for a solid few seconds- which is more than enough time for your DPS to do some major damage.
Keeping yourself very aware of your allies health and position as you fight is essential and it will take some getting used to between deciding to shield yourself or one of your allies. Geb's
ability makes escape incredibly easy with this build- pop on
and use Roll Out away from your attackers and say goodbye.

Amazing guide, thanks alot!
No matter how you build geb, he will almost never outdamage pretty much anyone else on your team built for damage. Geb isn't really meant to deal damage, he is meant to take damage and disrupt.
The way i play geb is to tank out and annoy the hell out of the enemy team in team fights, forcing them to pay attention to me in order to do anything which simply wastes their time while your teammates destroy their team while distracted.
Even if their team is adept enough to know not to focus the tanky geb, being in the middle of them and knocking them around will frustrate and put extreme pressure on them, and it takes a very disciplined team to stick to the plan in those circumstances.
Sacrificing some of your tankiness for magic power seems to be to be counter productive. It means you are easier to get out of the middle of a team fight, which is where geb really does his best work. It isnt about damage, its about disruption.
Pretty much the way i play geb is, stay in the middle of their team as long as you can. Magic power doesnt help me with that so i find it not as effective :)
CDR tho... love me some cdr :)
I may be unremarkable with a few a posts, but I have a well written guide: hi, click me. This well written guide got to the standard that it's at now because I looked around and talked to some people who cared about the community of this website. Being able to get to this point, I take the time and effort to look at new and upcoming guides which need help.
This guide gives me no insight on
Looking at how this guide only has 2 bars now I can assume the people have spoken. It's useless and your piss-poor attitude didn't help your case. Much love!
Sincerely,

I can go on a hunter and build full defensive and do well - it has nothing to do with it being a smart built.
That's all I'll say. I don't like getting involved in arguments.
The only thing I can agree with this guide is the bit I supplied for it...
