Thanatos Mentor & Help needed

Hey guys and girls. So I've been playing smite for about a week now (first time playing a Moba), mostly as assassins. Started off playing Fenrir or Thor if Fen was taken but I love mythology & Thanatos is my favorite god. Currently I have Mastery I in Fen & Mastery II in Thana, but I'm looking to improve my play as Thanatos.

For the most part in conquest I start off by grabbing Death's Tool, Hand of the Gods & Sprint, following that I'll go for Mace & Cloak building those two up. Normally I'll build Cloak of Concentration then Jotunn's Wrath, then only finish off Spirit Cloak and this then give's me the full 40% CDR (or I think it does). My next items I do in a similar way Combat Boots, Short Sword, Round Shield, Tower Shield (normally both at once because it's semi cheap). Finishing I get Warrior Tabi, Malice, Shifter's Shield and argue with myself every game if I should take Bloodforge or Devourer's Gauntlet. Arena I generally follow the same pattern but start with Mace, Boots & Sprint.

Early game isn't to bad, start off taking the Speed Camp and the Mana Camp and I can usually get a few ganks in. Mid game is where it starts to fall apart though, damage stagnates and its harder to get kills. Lat game it picks up again. On standard I'm sitting at about a 1 for 1 KtD.

Oh yeah, If you are willing to mentor or team up with me feel free, add me game name is SoothSlayed, I play everyday for most of the day.

I'd say remove Sprint at least from your starter build. Also I'd say avoid split building too much on . Go from to then into from there consider getting and then and finish off with perhaps Magi's Blessing and or and (Or some other situational finishers).

how'd you get those little pictures in there? that's awesome... The reason I take that sprint is to get into and out of situations quickly, more often than not I find myself chasing a nearly dead opponent down and once it's over I need to get out quickly or face certain doom, It really does help me pull out first blood 1 in 3 games.

My biggest question at the moment is does & stack properly for the full 40% CDR? if its going over the limit its a waste in which case I would switch with something else, it's literally there for a little extra defense and to max out my CDR

They should stack properly unless a bug occurs.

Hello. As said above, I would recommend not getting sprint too. The thing is that you have to buy HoG as your first active, and then I prefer to get beads or aegis. I usually get - --> --> Jotun's Wrath and after that I sometimes get for extra damage that you will need in late game. Actually after the buff to I think it is a good item to consider, but I would recommend getting it as 5th or 6th item.

Also if your going make sure you got a or as otherwise you won't hit as hard because 20% is pretty low on crits

Hi SoothSlayed,

I do know a thing or two about Thanatos. He was, I believe, the second god I ever used. The first was Chaac and I absolutely stunk with him.

I tried sending you a request and messaging you in-game, but you were DND. If you ever want to group up and play some casual conquest, feel free to accept my request (if you didn't deny it already; I'm not sure) and message me when I'm on.
