Chapter Title

A Balanced build that works for basically all auto attack focused warriors. As always in my build a good mix of damage, sustain, tankyness and CC/utility!

And since Stone Cutting Sword got buffed, I would recommend that item more than before.
Nice synergy with the flat pen and lifesteal from asi. It shreds squishies like butter.

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.
