I have a friend who is newer to the game and he is playing Zeus a lot. I feel like Zeus needs at the very least, Chronos Pendant, and also I feel like Bancroft is so important to grab right away on him too, especially in Joust as that scaling he can get early game from it when low - drop his ult on himself and just get some insane healing is just too good to pass up.
Would Example Build 6 be pretty good in joust you think in most scenarios, unless needing anti heal?
I find it so hard because I almost want to have him get Shaman ring instead of Soul Reaver because of the 10% stacking with RoT's 25%. But would soul reaver just be better due to raw power?
Which example build would you recommend against a tanky team in joust?
Mind explaining the Rod of Tahuti 2nd thing?
And if it's because the pros do it...I just don't see it being that great for most regular players.
0 CDR from any item, and Soul Reaver as a presence in all builds is also something I personally don't prefer. At least a bit of CDR would be very helpful for consistent poke threat, though I know his burst is more important. And with so many AOE/multi-hit abilities, Soul Reaver might not hit the target you want (since it targets the enemy with highest health when it hits multiple gods at once).
With regard to that AOE, and since most of these builds have high power, I'm thinking health sustain by the means of Soul Gem might be functional. Standard lifesteal might not be preferred since it has that 0.33x coefficient on AOE/multi-hit abilities, but Soul Gem isn't subject to that, since it's more a heal than lifesteal, with set healing values. And it should stack very quickly in most cases.
Thoughts?
I'll add Soul Gem as an alternative item but I don't think I've seen anyone build it on him.
And for regular players I have the build with warlocks as recommended (Build 4).
Okay, so 162% scaling (3x charges) on an ability with good base damage, with Tahuti's potential for already being active due to hitting 3 charges, is a lot of damage. Got it.
