Introduction

Devo's isn't really needed with hunters Cowl based on a few Conditions -

1.) You have Healers in your team making up for the lost Lifesteal

2.) You have a Support / Mage using Pythags piece gifting you an extra 10% lifesteal *See Synergy tab*

3.) You're using a God With natural lifesteal in their kit to make up for the lost 15% lifesteal (or at least some of it) - Cernunnos is the best example that I can think of here.

4.) You're playing with a heavy healer comp and expect the enemy team is going to Buy a lot of Anti heal.

5.) You're playing vs Gods with Anti heal in their kit - Odin, Osiris, Sobek, Serquet, Cerberus Etc.


So this build was Designed To Shred Enemies as fast as possible -

I've done some testing in Jungle practice and compared this to other "Meta" Builds, and the results were that this build Outperformed any other build that I tested in terms of Pure DPS -

I had my Friend Join and use a fairly Standard Support Build on Ymir,(Sentinels Embrace, Thebes , Sovereignty, Relic Dagger, Shoguns Kusari & Mantle of Discord).

On average It was taking between 4.5 - 5.5 Seconds to kill the tank, Nothing else really came anywhere close to this.

If I've forgotten anything then I will add it at a later date.

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.
