Build still overcapping CDR. You don't need that much CDR on him.

Build him like this: Book of Thoth, Shoes of Focus, Spear of the Magus, Rod of Tahuti, Spear of Desolation (Or Shaman's Ring), Book of the Dead.

I would build stacks but i can never get them cause people dont listen in arena when you say im building stacks. I get told to be quite so but i see your point and ill try buulding book of Thoth

Because of Spear of the Magus third and the fact that Book of Thoth and Book of the Dead are in the build.

Lategame you can sell Magus for Obsidian if you want.

Could probably get Rod of Tahuti since it’s Zeus we are talking about.

TBHNotADragon | July 22, 2018 9:38am
In my opinion Rod of Tahuti is not as good as it used to be but i can see how it can be useful. Ill do some screwing around today amd see if this item is an asset.

I feel it's absolutely valid for Zeus. He's going to deal multiple instances of damage, and finish off with Detonate Charge. In many instances, the enemy will be at < 1/2 health at that point, triggering the power boost.

Although Bancroft's Talon is absolutely a functional item, I also think Soul Gem could be considered instead. A single Chain Lightning should be able to build stacks, and then Detonate will get the heal off, not just for him, but for nearby teammates. That passive portion is a heal, rather than lifesteal.

For Zeus, all lifesteal items are less effective, at least to a degree. Why? His abilities are AOE/multi-target. This means the lifesteal has a 0.33x coefficient (only 1/3 the original amount). This is okay, because he's more likely to reliably hit multiple targets, allowing the damage to ramp up and still get good lifesteal...but it's something to consider.

Items are ok. Build order needs some work

Shoes of Focus
Chronos' Pendant
Shaman's Ring -Don't build this last. You won't be able to get your stacks.
Bancroft's Talon or Spear of the Magus
Bancroft's Talon or Spear of the Magus - don't build spear second. Enemies don't have enough magical protections for it to be effective at that stage.
Gem of Isolation

Of course, consider other items to fit into your main build:
Shoes of the Magi instead of Shoes of Focus
Divine Ruin against healers
Spear of Desolation this item seems overall ok right now-power/pen/cdr
Mantle of Discord since you have 0 escape potential

Other relics that need to be considered
Phantom Veil against a competent enemy Odin
Purification Beads first if enemy has Ares or Fenrir

Thoughts?

Ill give this a try and that is a valid point about building spear of the magus early. I never really put that into perspective.
1
Gulfwulf (81) | July 21, 2018 3:08pm
I'd go Shoes of the Magi, Shaman's Ring, Spear of the Magus/ Divine Ruin depending upon enemy team comp, Chronos' Pendant, Gem of Isolation, situational (defense or more power as needed).

TBHNotADragon | July 22, 2018 9:42am
This might work so ill give it a try

Gary169 (7) | July 21, 2018 3:21pm
As per our Poseidon discussion, I think Spear of the Magus is a bit too early for my personal taste.

If I get Divine Ruin and Shoes of the Magi somewhere in my build, I might as well just get Spear of Desolation instead of Spear of the Magus.
That gives me a total of +40 flat magical penetration, which is enough for most squishies.

But again, it depends completely on the enemy comp. If enemies have 2+ front liners, +40 flat penetration will only tickle them. So Obsidian Shard needs to be considered as well. I would never buy it in the same build with Spear of the Magus. I miss the days when Obsidian Shard had +33% pen.
