unstoppable herc

Ok I'm keeping these parts quick and simple. This may not be the traditional build for Herc but this is mine and it works in a different way from what I've seen. This is not meant as a tank but more of an assassin Herc build.

As I said this may look wonky but I have my reasons. First are the boots, most people start with them to be able to run but I use it for the penetration passive. Next is the Asi, Herc's attack speed is slow and he needs some life-steal to stay out longer early game and the penetration is another great part. The qin's sais are to boost his basic attack, this not only deals great damage but increases attack speed again to dish out even more. After your qin's sais you will want to get transcendence. The sooner you get this the better because of the stacking effect. This item will give you some damage output and give you alot of mana and mana regen. This will help keep you on the field longer and able to use your abilities freely. At this point you will know the general thorn in your side whether it's a mage or a physical attacker. You will want to get some protection to be able to stand up against your opponent so choose the armor that fits the situation. Finish your build with any item you want. I like the hastened fatalis because it let's you run faster, swing faster, and keep up with fleeing opponents.

This build is used to keep you alive as a priority and pull and stun enemies afterward. Herc has a great way to combo his abilities and I will go over them in order of the combo. Use the Mitigate Wound's whenever going in to a fight or doing anything risky. This ability turns you into a tank late game as it heals all wounds taken when during it's activation. Earthbreaker is used to pull far or fleeing enemies in closer and damage enemies who are close. Using this early game to lure under tower or late game after buying the qin's sais makes way for an easy kill. Driving strike is used to clear enemy waves, get away from danger, or stun enemies so you can lay into them. Use this after Earthbreaker to keep enemies under tower or give you an extra second to hit them with your club. Excavate is used to break groups of enemy gods apart, kill a fleeing opponent at low health, or throw into a conflict to deal massive damage. You can use this after Driving strike to ensure a hit.
