Zeus isn't a healer and having meditation cloak doesn't make him one, so Rod of Asclepius is wasted on him. Rod's more for consistent healers like Hel, Aphrodite, and Sylvanus, though even they don't always pick it up. There are really only three relics you should be looking at: Purification Beads, Aegis Amulet, and maybe Heavenly Wings if the enemy team has a lot of slows and you can't count on your team to protect you.

Zeus is a target no matter what you build on him because he can nuke an entire team if they're low and get caught in his ultimate. So you generally want to build power, pen, and cdr on him with a defense item if necessary (e.g. Magi's Cloak or Mantle of Discord). Build defense does lower his damage output a bit, so it's a tactical choice as to whether or not to build it.

As this builds stands I cannot in good faith recommend it to anybody in any mode because it's just not efficient and there are better items for him like the ones Bran mentioned.

Hi Rosy,

No offense, but this build is extremely questionable. That's putting it lightly...with no early boots on a god with no mobility, and not even Gem of Isolation to help you with separation when needed, this build is honestly awful. Although it has some damage potential, it's nowhere near optimal for him, and you've even got an item here that makes no sense ( Rod of Asclepius).

It does seem by your writeup that you're serious about the build, so I will give you a chance to explain your position and build IN DETAIL before considering this for straight archive, which it honestly should be unless actual build changes are made...but I still want to hear your thoughts.

@Bran please archive. Just look at the build.
