Build Item Soul Eater Soul Eater

%-HEALTH DAMAGE, BABY!!!!

Build Item Qin's Sais Qin's Sais

A Simple, Brutally efficient Jungle build.

There really isn't too much to say about this build except...well...LIFESTEAL. By the time you have full build, and the Devourer's gauntlet is fed completely, you will have 2.11 attack speed, and 85% physical lifesteal.

As you are building up, simply allow the auto-skill-level system to take care of the skills for you, and worry about going after a damage camp. Once you have that, continue to feed on XP camps while making short trips in-lane to assist, kill-ste *COUGH* I mean..um Kill SECURE...and feed on minions. THIS BUILD IS MOST EFFECTIVE MID-GAME. YOUR ENTIRE OBJECTIVE IS TO BE ABLE TO KEEP THEIR JUNGLER AT BAY, FORCE ENEMY LANERS TO FALL BEHIND ON LEVELS BY EITHER KILLING THEM OUTRIGHT, OR FORCING THEM INTO A RETREAT. ONCE LATE-GAME BEGINS, YOU ARE NO LONGER THE ULTIMATE BADASS. AT THAT POINT, KEEP TABS ON ENEMY GODS VIA YOUR PASSIVE AND TAKE OUT PEOPLE WITH YOUR ULT. YOUR LIFESTEAL WILL NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP YOU ALIVE AGAINST LATE-GAME GUARDIANS OR MAGES UNLESS YOU HAVE A FULL WAVE OF ENEMY MINIONS TO FEED ON WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY FIGHTING AN ENEMY GOD.

I am still fairly new to smite, but I have used this build every single time out of the many I have played as Thanatos and it works beautifully.

Downvoted for all the reasons posted above. you have no real power spike,you pass the lifesteal cap by a TON. 20% wasted lifesteal. you have no crit. Than can box... for a little bit. But once your 1 is back down on CD youre probably screwed if the target isnt dead. With this build, they wont be. Get yourself to 30 and get some better games in against more practiced opponents.

I tottaly agree with the person above me. Because you are fairly new now this build will work but passing lvl 10 this build will get really hard. you get killed by gaurdians easily. You ask why? You got no penetration so you won't do damage.

My recommendation dump all life steal items except for one. add a penetration item yotunn's wrath or Titan's Bane.

Add a Deathbringer for the crits.

And the other slots are for more power, pen, attack speed or maybe a more defensive item.

No offense, but this build has more than a few problems.

As Pentargonite said, you pass the lifesteal cap.

You also forgo Hand of the Gods to get both boots and Draining Blade, meaning your early game camp clear is going to such, and you will have problems securing objectives and camps.

The stacking build you present also means you will have less-than-efficient returns for your gold. You should complete items ASAP.

This guide also lacks gameplay. And without CDR or crits, your damage won't be too high, either.

Answer this: Why not just build crits to make the lifesteal you already have be more efficient?

Downvoted. This guide was clearly written by a peasant.

60% lifesteal is the cap, you don't need 80 cuz 20% won't count.
