Actually, if OP reareanged the build order, this would be an ok arena build. Definitely not for conquest though.

@OP specify which game mode you're building for.

My arena build:

Shoes of the magi
Chronos pendant
Spear of desolation
Soul reaver
Obsidian shard

Why no early bancrofts or soul reaver on He Bo?

Because in arena, prioritizing cdr on mages/ability based gods is my playstyle.

I left a situational spot in the build. Thats for bancroft. Building it early is valid as well.

You prefer early soul reaver in arena? Early bancroft i can understand. The whole early soul reaver is new to me.

(142) |

is bad on . You don't need that early, and 30%CDR isn't necessary on . I would Swap with , get third, and get something like a or last (or if you really want it).

Just don't get that early on him and don't ever get on .

I'm actually curious as to why Tahuti is bad on He Bo. I know it's not a core item on any mage anymore, and I know it's very one-dimensional, with regard to basically only being for power.

And in this instance, I absolutely acknowledge that Ka4Drog is building it WAAAAAAAY too early.

That said, it still provides the highest base power of all mage items, and a significant power boost to enemies below 50% health (when it's already got a solid base of power from other items). has 80% scaling. has 75% scaling. has 115% scaling.

In a build containing , , , , , and , that's 605 base power, I believe, with a boost to 756 power against damaged enemies. 705 base power with at low health due to Bancroft's passive. Up to 881.25 total power potential.

Given that he usually will use multiple abilities to finish off an enemy, there's decent reason to believe he'll get that extra power boost in a fight. In a teamfight, he might have opportunity to benefit from it multiple times on multiple enemies. only has the one, and if it triggers against a squishy god, is only adding ~200 extra damage every 40 seconds or so.

I'm just not getting why you say it's bad.

(46) |

Well after reading your reasoning, i wouldn't say it's bad either. However, you won't get the max benefits from his ult if using it on targets with full health.

I think it works better on mages with tick damage like Anubis.

When you accept that asi bridge is love, asi bridge is life, everything will make sense to you my dear friend.

I thought Rod doesen't interact well with Anubis abiltiies?

Anyway, Rod is only good on healers, Chronos, Sol and Zeus at the moment.

(46) |

DV-8 thought rod was good on anubis damage build. I am speaking strictly about arena.

(392) |

As far as I understand it, if you start a ticking/channeled ability with an enemy above 50%, the Tahuti passive won't kick in for the remainder of the cast, even if they subsequently fall under 50%. Tahuti isn't immediately a go-to for Anubis in my mind, despite the very high scaling.

(46) |

Oh wow... did not know the passive doesnt kick in if enemy didnt start out with below 50% health.

Yea then tahuti isnt the greatest item on anubis. Thanks for clarifying.

(46) |

Dv-8 what are your thoughts?

I'm not sure that this is correct, honestly. I could be wrong, though.

Tahuti is merely an item that can be considered on , like most other mages. It isn't core or essential for him by any means.

Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Smite/comments/8cmtgg/all_rod_of_tahuti_interactions_with_dot_damage/

PonPon's response: https://www.reddit.com/r/Smite/comments/8cmtgg/all_rod_of_tahuti_interactions_with_dot_damage/dxggrug/

From HiRezPonPon:

"There are three types of damaging effects; Immediate Damage (Scylla Crush), Pulsing Damage (Anubis Grasping Hands) and Damage Over Times (Zhong Kui's Card). Immediate Damage and Pulsing Damage are applying Rod of Tahuti passive correctly because they update on each time they hit, because each time it hits it is considered a unique instance of damage. Damage over times are an initial hit that stores that information and does the rest of the damage according to the initial stats it had when it hit."

So for , seems like since each instance can hit if they're in range/area, or not hit if they're not, it's pulsing damage...so in fact, should work well in general with the Tahuti passive.

If it's a DoT that gets applied if the person gets hit, and the damage just then applies over x time/hits, then it generally doesn't work with Tahuti.

This is pretty interesting. But goes to show, Tahuti switches function as it transitions from >50% to <50% health in only some instances.

(32) |

Interesting. I never knew that. Thanks for sharing this!

(46) |

So ponponis is saying tahuti works with anubis?

But bran is saying the ***ive of Tahuti wont kick in for anubis?

Whats rhe final verdict? (I trust bran more than pon pon)

(392) |

LOL no, I'd heard that Tahuti's passive might not kick in for damaging abilities that continued to damage from >50% health to <50%. Thus I had originally said "as far as I understand it."

In fact, based on PonPon's response, it's only partially correct, and his explanation helps explain when it should work, and when it doesn't...and why healing over time, as a separate function, is still nice with Tahuti.

(392) |

You also don't get max benefit from if the passive is down, which it will be almost all the time. And with both passives down, Tahuti provides the higher base power.

(46) |

Kriega mentions getting soul reaver third, wheras you'd get tahuti later in the build.

(392) |

That is true. I personally don't like the trend of getting Soul Reaver at all, honestly. I've never liked the item. I do wonder how much of this suggestion is driven by what pros are building, rather than what is more functional in general for the normal player.

(142) |

Compare to and you will realise why soul reaver is so strong (Remember the last buff to it?). Power and passive (with barely extra gold added to cost).

(392) |

Yes, I know the benefits of Reaver compared to Thoth. Thing is, I haven't been a fan of Thoth for quite a while now. I would prefer to either stack Warlock's, or do no stacking at all. To that end, I can see the benefit of Reaver, but I've just never really liked that item.

(142) |

Stacking Warlocks is still good and all, especially in ranked to avoid being bursted too quickly, but other power items do offer higher damage and come online sooner than Warlocks. Yes generally Book of Thoth isn't good now save for maybe combining it with soul reaver on kukulkan. (ok combo on other gods)

(46) |

Right. Lets focus on gold+ level ranked conq rather than spl. Pro mindset is significantly different from ranked due to team synergy

(142) |

And in ranked conquest you can still get Soul Reaver soon on a lot of mages, not all of them necessarily.
