I would in no way take his Shroud of Darkness that late - the fear utility is just unparalleled for escaping, initiating, or repositioning to set up an ult.

And if you're going to take damage hades, take Focused Void Stone over Obsidian Shard -- you need at least some magical protection, and the number is better than the % statistically unless they have over 210 protections.

Nice to see someone taking advantage of Soul Reaver though. Can initiate into a full health person with a 1-3-2-4 combo and instant-gib someone.

Disappointing this build has no magical lifesteal, but that's just how this build plays - no item is really out of place outside of Shard imo. +1

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.
