I'd really like to see you flesh this guide out. If you've played Herc from 0-30 it would stand to reason that you have some keen insights on how to play him.

Also, should split up the pro / safe builds into different tabs.

This build made me herkulee very stronk and confident. At very first game with this build i managed to carry my nub team well and ended up crushing the whole enemy team with a simple blow to the groins of their minotaur. Keep up the good work, hope seeing other herkulee build variations from you later, one I would really like is arena destroyer build that can kill all enemies alone, because all my team is usually noob.

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.
