Gulf, yeah I probably would've, and should've, but once I realized that they started avoiding me towards the end, I was finally able to focus out their since he was the bigger threat. They definitely played it smart though. Focusing us early with Guardians, and then switching and relying more on Merc end game. Either way it was a difficult situation since going wouldn't have been very good against Merc, but wasn't good against the guardians, so it was a toss up. Either way, a better team would've helped more than either item.. Way of the road I guess.

Double tanks should technically be common...in what would be a "balanced" team, you would have one of each class, and the guard/warrior would both build on the tankier side. In this case, double guards, but again...not all that uncommon.

I'd suggest an adjusted build route for . I don't feel he's quite as much of a hybrid as . Even though he's been built with Trans in the past (which isn't bad), I'd currently go the more basic attack route, and agree on the Qin's direction rather than crit.

In others' example builds, I feel that Qin's is being built too late. It should be the 4th item latest.

Ninja Tabi
The Crusher or Devourer's Gauntlet (if you don't mind stacking) or Bloodforge (if ahead)
The Executioner
Qin's Sais

The rest would be situational. If you went Devo's or BF, you could consider or . Anti-heal . Additional pen effect .

As for that Nox suggested build, you left out a core item..., which I feel should be purchased 2nd after boots...and you can refer to Tlaloc's build (tab 3, non stacking) for a good Arena build there.

Yeah double tank should be optimal, but it seems like most common (in Arena) is

-Mage
-Mage
-Hunter
-Assassin
-Insta Lock LOKI

Lol

But really, I've seen a lot more of a 3 mage, hunter, and some kind of tank.. Not saying its ideal, but with that set up, I'll pick tank Fenrir and as long as I'm constantly in the enemy's grill pressuring them, its pretty easy for our team to frag out.. Especially if there is a on our team... cuz Zeus is sooooo hard to play in arena. Lol

Cern's a lot like in that he's a hybrid hunter who uses AAs and abilities. Since he doesn't have an attack speed steroid, the route is usually the way to go, especially with 2 tanks. That being said, I would have gone something more like this:

<-can swap out with late.

<-swap out with .
<-replace late game with .

is a waste on . Get instead. Swap brawler's for or .

No Urchin and/or Spirit Robe? Build's pretty lacking for health.

That build order is pretty bad. Go: , , , , , . (Magus/Reaver can be swapped around, Magus can be swapped late for Obsidian, or swap Soul Gem for Obsidian)
