I undestand the appeal of bulding Void Stone first item, since it will boost Ares' damage, but you should always consider your highest threats in the enemy team when choosing your first defense item.

Let's say you're facing a Neith adc, Khepri support and Thanatos jungle. Your 2 damage threats are physical, and Void Stone won't help you at all in this scenario.

Mystical Mail isn't a support item, you should pick something like Sovereignty instead.

Pestilence is fine, but you should build it only if against healers. Otherwise get Void Stone, Oni Hunter's Garb or even Genji's Guard.

Witchblade is a counter item, it should be built only if needed, and definetly should not be listed in an example build.

Mystical Mail? Jogo sério é você?

It lacks Reinforced Greaves :p

But seriously (no pun intended), Mystical Mail isn't a bad item, but only Solo laners should get it.

Good points, Vini.

Also with that Void Stone comment, well...the 150 health does help just a bit against all damage types...but the other consideration is minion damage. If you play aggressive, your best opportunities to attack the enemy are when the minions meet. If you aggress then, you're going to be taking minion damage, and they deal physical damage as well. Earlier physical protection is usually the better choice, depending on enemy comp.

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.
