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.
SMITEFire is the place to find the perfect build guide to take your game to the next level. Learn how to play a new god, or fine tune your favorite SMITE gods’s build and strategy.

UNLESS you're building
18PWR from 200MP is nothing. BoT gives 170PWR when evolved, highest DMG item.
I'd wait till 5th item for BoD, if I get it.
To get the most out of the (since reworked) Thoth, you want at least 1 or 2 mana+power items to go alongside it (though there are some non-power exceptions, like
The point is BoT isn't awful on it's own, it's just not as potent by itself as it was last season, and you get the most out of it when building mana+power items like (reaver, CDR shoes, poly, book of dead etc...). When non-stacking build paths exist, there isn't as much of a priority on stacking Thoth, especially when you aren't synergy building with it.
I did wonder how's BoT + BoD + Urchin ... though BoD is supposed to be our Def item.
If you need mana for Thoth's passive and needs cdr as well, why the hell build Magi over Focus?
Advantages: Very high power and mana at full stacks.
Disadvantages: High cost. Requires stacking.
Restrictions: Magical gods only. Banned in Assault mode.
Discussion: This item should be built no later than item #3 (and often as the 1st item), as it requires stacking and is perfect for laning stages of slower modes like Conquest. Allows for high damage and ability spamming without much fear of running out of mana.
