BTW Bran... I think that Asclepius , during a fight, will give in total 30% extra healing, so it's a buff to aggressiveness of the item, and a nerf in the defensive use everyone was complaining about healers

@Everyone, PTS part 2 is now live, with some significant changes to items and gods.

https://www.smitegame.com/new-in-smite-season-four-4-1-patch-notes/

@Pris, yeah I like the push Hi-Rez is trying to take with healers...in-combat healing being significantly better than just sitting there healing outside of combat makes for much more interesting fighting.

What HR hopefully will understand is that their anti-healing is easy to apply, with lots of different options, and for those mages to be able to survive those teamfights, they're going to need a lot more help...either they'll need to be inherently tankier, their in-combat healing needs to be higher (for Chang'e and Hel at least), or they need to encourage the feasibility of tankier builds by increasing base functions with lower scaling.

Enough people complained about the Hercules and Hel changes that some of them have been reverted to a degree, lol.

I'm really surprised about the Soul Eater nerf...guess I just don't know how well it's been fitting in, as I can't figure out where it should be implemented in a build.

Interesting Rage buff, and damn if it's not enticing for Clash/Arena now if I'm Bakasura or whatever, but don't think it brings it into relevance for Conquest.

I absolutely called the Silverbranch Bow adjustment in my PDF comment. Woot.

Regarding magical lifesteal, pretty ouch to Pythagorem's Piece. I think it went from being almost core to being a situational pick. The buff to Bancroft's Talon really makes it the core item for Hades and Anubis...wonder who else might pick it up.

I like the Spear of Desolation adjustment. Magical pen items are in an interesting situation...Bullfrog also mentioned this to me. For the lower cost, significant pen items (NOT Shoes of the Magi), you don't get the same amount of options as physical gods...your choices are Obsidian Shard, Spear of the Magus, and Demonic Grip. Keeping the cost high on Desolation means it's still more of a late-game choice.

Granted, inherent magical protection is lower than physical...Level 20 squishies usually have between 30-50 magical protections and 60-70 physical protections. 10 magical pen is basically 20-33% pen, while 20 physical pen is between 28-33%, so I guess it's not all that bad.

Stone of Binding took a hit too...went from obvious bridge item for Guardians to...not sure I'll pick it up. I mean it's not bad, and is still on the aggressive side, but...

Anyway, things look like they're going in the right direction. Your thoughts?

TBH the most interesting change was decreasing the pre-game time. It was something DM complained about was "not needed", but it's quite needed for New Players, so now CQ rewards players who know what they want out of the gate. This actually might be a good reason to start the match with Auto-Buy, so it buys your Starter Item and stuff, turn it off right after, and leave the base as early as possible.... huh....

Or set up your custom builds tab at minimum for starter options...

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
