Introduction
Welcome to the Hall of Gods Series
Vulcan, Smith Of The Gods has become my new favourite God! Oh yeh, this beast is unstoppable!!
I play Vulcan a bit like a Ranged believe it or not, which is why i don't pick so many Defence items early on. I don't spend any points on (Skill 1), because 2-3 are the main weapons of Vulcan, and are the ones you should use to Gank and all that.
If you play him right, you will become a Tank like Odin, and the extreme power to gank enemies when they are full health! I have managed to take down 2 full health opponents with both my turrets and Ultimate with this build.
Why not use Frostbound Hammer? Because Creeping Curse fits the build better, and makes you get the max DMG possible.
Pros / Cons
Cons
Extreme ability to gank
Decent Tank
Turrets!
Can hold a lane alone
Can place Turret in mid lane and continue in left lane
Can place Turrets to farm Buffs in jungle
Pros
Mana can be a problem early on
Low basic DMG, due to build
Them enemies be targeting your turrets :(
Skills
I no longer place the stats of the Items/Skills, just in case they change the stats.
Forge
Lovely passive
Backfire
I do not spend any points on this skill, before it forces me to, its not that useful, but later on it servers as a finisher
Inferno Cannon
This is the one i take second. However, when i have taken 1 Thumper, i change and make this one the main that i level up, i keep 3-2 at the same level, but always take Inferno first
Thumper XVI
This is the first skill i take, as it damages several minions, and is useful on the start
Volcanic Overdrive
The perfect gank ult, well kinda >.<.. Use this as any Ult, purely to gank, however don't be afraid to start the gank when they have full health, as you will still manage to take them down, with a bit of luck and Creeping Curse
Items
I no longer place the stats of the Items/Skills, just in case they change the stats.
Reinforced Boots
The basic start, Speed and Phy/Mag Protection
Meditation
This is a must, and may save your life
Creeping Curse
Makes sure those opponents don't escape when you are ganking them
Warlock's Sash
A perfect item at this point, gives you all you need
Obsidian Shard
Gives your Turrets high DMG
Rod of Tahuti
Gives way more DMG to your Turrets and MP5
Stone of Gaia
Now its time to get some protection, the first is Magical Protection, and as a super bonus you get HP5/MP5
Hide of the Nemean Lion
Now we get Physical Protection and some more Health, and the passive is EPIC!
Cool ty! :)

you can make your items a link with this code: itemname Just a tip to improve your skills :D
good guide overall
Cool ty! :)
good guide overall
The slow you're trying to utilize with this build's focus can be achieved with a Gem of Isolation. Far more consistent than waiting for Creeping Curse's cooldown. Also, Meditation is never a must. Play reserved, place your turrets wisely, and keep an eye on your mana. It's cheaper and smarter to just back when you're out of mana.
I feel the Meditation is a must, in case someone takes you off guard or in the jungle, when you have low Mana. Simply using meditation can save your life when that happens :)
and yes Gem of Isolation is a nice item, but you would lose one of the items that you could use for more DMG and Protection. That's why i feel like the activation item is better :)
