ITEM TIER LIST - WHAT ARE THE BEST ITEMS IN SMITE 2?

[@caseycannon3282]

Small nitpick- when you do tier list videos can you say what tier you put each item in. I listen to these kind of videos driving from work so I can be ready for new patches and can’t always see the video

[@Weak3n]

Got you

[@MadJxsh]

Me too, I usually put his videos on the in background bc I’m getting back into smite 2

[@demifolk8940]

@@Weak3n i do the same, thank you weak ur the goat 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@Tribull9]

I listen while at work as well

[@guts1258]

I think they're moving in the right direction by listening to the community feedback. I just wish people weren't so quick to write it off based on initial impressions and not give it a second chance.

[@The_Geni]

Well when they fix the game so it doesn't take 6-10 weeks to unlock a god after lvl 50 that woud be great

[@Solvyr]

​@The_Geni you're worried about unlocking a 51st god when there is only 45 in the game rn?

[@The_Geni]

@@Solvyr right? and just a hypothetical if they add ALL 130 gods ITS GOING TO TAKE A FREE TO PLAY PLAYER 850 WEEKS of daily login rewards to unlock them all AND THATS not including new gods

[@Solvyr]

@The_Geni it's almost like they still have plenty of time to implement a system. If it's a God a week. We have 6 weeks before you run into an issue. If they don't have a system implemented by then I'll eat my words, but they very likely will.

[@Rojo13x]

Thank you weaken, getting back into smite and with the new game and items guides like these help immensely so i dont feel blind going in

[@Zoomscoping]

I think the only thing I need to re-learn in S2 is the items so this is really nice. Been using Smite Source because it is a great way to get easy builds fast, but I have just been lazy about investigating the items and what they exactly do. I like this type of video

[@naomirose7084]

So, I originally thought that dominance was trash too, but it turns out the extra damage from it is true damage. In jungle testing with the same amount of power and pen, you do equal AA damage with dominance and other %pen items, making it pretty much equivalent to smite 1's dominance. I have zero clue WHY they would do that instead of just making it pen normally, or why it's worded like that, but yeah it's effectively equivalent to smite 1 dominance, which I wasn't aware of until today.

[@papermachete8071]

Can I touch it?

[@EnJaded0]

well, becuz its technically extra dmg, maybe percent dmg increases like aphro passive on an adc work better on it? either way good to know that at base it works

[@shiggyboivods]

Glad to see an item tierlist, haven't been diversifying my builds very much, so this will help me use some items I might be overlooking!

[@helrazr44]

I think a good video topic would be role mentality, like the goals you're trying to accomplish in teamfights, your priorities in the roles, what type of mindset you need to bring to said role what makes the gods that are put in the role good for that role and how they accomplish their goals. There isn't that many videos on role mental and 'philosophy' the only ones are from Raynday back in 2016. And having a framework to keep in the back of players minds goes a long way to helping them get better.

[@astraios3349]

W video, thanks for your insights bro. Looking forward to the livestream tonight!

[@philvinc4]

I understand it might lengthen the video and that the order might be situational depending on the gods, but it would be cool if you ordered the items within their own tiers as well, so we can see at a glance which item is a High A tier for example as opposed to a low A tier.

[@DefyingPenguin]

thanks for the video and for the new builds on the website :D

[@ilphaesn]

18:27 i’m not 100% sure if you’re immune to attack speed slows as well, but i purchase this item every single time there’s a chaac on the enemy team and i just ruin his day. it’s a great time

[@mekacrab]

Attack speed slows ? You mean when you're the one attacking ? Yeah I'm almost sure it doesn't, otherwise fatalis wouldn't even exist.

[@ilphaesn]

@@mekacrab no i meant like chaac's rain attack speed slow you dork. the thing that happens when you auto is called movement penalty xD

[@mekacrab]

@ Oh this ? Well duh, of course it doesn't help against it. It's called an attack speed debuff, not attack speed slow. Slows only refer to movement speed...

[@Mr_Bobo99]

@Weak3n Is the healing shroom good against gods with Executes to try and heal your damage dealer when they are low?

[@ampayne2]

Reaper goes crazy in assault first item It’s still buggy though. It doesn’t always recognize that you killed someone I’ve also seen my prophetic stacks just disappear mid game multiple times

[@sickomobamba9619]

Ive been trying world stone on RA mid. With a CD build you very easily can get 2 ults per fight from my experience. Dont know if that makes it great but its fun.

[@DaCalZone]

Why does the Hussar's Wings on smitesource's tierlist say Prots 25 Max HP 200 and 2150g also you have to use an active. Did they change it as you made this or is this old on the site? I haven't built it yet.

[@Weda_Bretajune]

My favorite items so far is the Gargoyle, hex stone, stampede and sunwing bow I think its called. I need to try Hassars wings

[@ChrisRWitt]

Were laners using Bumbas starters ever an issue in Smite 1? I don't remember that. If not, why is it such a prevalent thing here in Smite 2?

[@caddell2432]

At one point in either season 8 or 9. Everyone was building Eye of Jungle. Especially hunters

[@mekacrab]

Because here bumba's gives more dmg against jungle camps, I don't think it was the case in Smite 1.

[@silent2652]

Will they add pre builds like they did with Smite 1?

[@alejandrobeltran4884]

I beg

[@mythiccmouse6214]

They have a recommendations tab if that counts.

[@DIsturbios1234]

They already have them

[@silent2652]

@DIsturbios1234 your thinking of the recommendation tab they haven't added pre build where I can load into a game and have the items I want in one section.

[@cluelesssaiyan4179]

I check for it everyday when I log on lol just praying 😂

[@Fish-h3c6l]

I don’t doubt that I could be wrong, but I think eye of providence deserves a higher tier. The reason you gave for not building it is why you should. It’s a sentry ward with a larger radius than normal wards, gives 100g for destroying wards, and has 60 second cooldown. I don’t think you give enough credit to the value of counter vision, and receiving a discount on your next item in a role where you have little gold

[@mekacrab]

but then you basically build a "bad" item just to get to your next item quicker. You could just buy sentries and it would be better.

[@tychobrandsma2929]

I still think they need to add warlock's staff with hp scaling passive. For example 1% hp cooldown rate. If you have around 4k hp you get an additional 40 cooldownrate. This may be a fcking lot but if you build around hp you don't do as much dmg as you would with a burst build.

[@randoidgames1004]

with dagger having a 15 sec cooldown for a sizeable 5 auto increase could be good if you could slot it for ullr. thinking in weaves between ability uptime ??

[@JunkyardFIghterCR]

[@rhinocheese7831]

[@god_bleach]

I think world stone is really good on gods like Agni

[@supdawg198]

Only 4 minutes in but I think blink has to have a longer cooldown compared to beads. Beads feels really weird right now

[@sclarke6969]

Hot take time.... -30prots is a LOT on a carry. -30prots is NOT a lot on a hybrid/tank get that necronomicon and thank me later 😆

[@ampayne2]

Especially on gods like Ama, Cab, Hades Ama 2’s damage mitigation has 5% int scaling - I’d trade 30 prots for 10% more mitigation all day. Especially when you can just go full int with myrrdin for 10 seconds of 100% damage mitigation 😂 As a squishy though, gotta respect the enemy comp, or you just get 1shot by a single kuku tornado lol

[@nozomashii821]

Eye of the storm has a fun interplay with nemesis, with her slows it makes it really strong + i often use it to make her aspect ult better, like over a wall i'll let it tick my health down and pop them if i was already low

[@hairysovietbear8222]

13:00 Gem of Focus in the first 3 slots (or even in general) might be bait imo. I would much rather have my midlaner build book/doom orb and play the farm game with an occasional rotation here and there, than have him go Soul Gem - Gem of Focus and try to permafight. I know it feels good to have a bunch of CD with that latter path but I value the one-shot capability of my midlaner more

[@kellysamuel3383]

I think myrddin might be good for Agni so he gets double stun

So funny to start watching and see gilded and sharpshooter get nerfed mid video.

[@Weak3n]

Those nerfs don't change ANYTHING

[@MTC566]

My big issue with smite 2 is that prots are hard to actually predict. Because every character can build int or str, you can't really predict a good build that you'll need for tanks that game as you cant know early what someone is going to focus. I could be way off and it not work that way. I admittedly havent played much S2 Oh and fuck Aladdin

[@Weak3n]

First off strength and intel DO NOT determine the type of damage you do. The character does one type of damage based on the character. ALSO pen is all pen. It is not phys or magical anymore

[@MTC566]

@Weak3n so it just determines the scaling of that character. Good to know thanks.

[@demifolk8940]

@@MTC566 tbf it was like that early alpha but they quickly changed it because it was too confusing

[@yungscoobert6279]

I pray they gut stampede and screeching gargoyle. They’re so awful. Stampede plus aegis makes everyone unkillable. Gargoyle makes it even worse.

[@deeksgaming8634]

does anyone else feel that chaac has to much damage for a tank?

[@mr.aquatic4694]

He's a warrior

[@ampayne2]

It’s because of his int scaling imo. Feels a bit unbalanced that you can just build a couple pure int items, and run around with 200+ prots for free (assuming you use his 2 correctly) If the scaling remains that high, then either the ability should have a longer cooldown, or the prot buff should have a shorter duration. So that the prots aren’t essentially permanent

[@ampayne2]

Even with zero cdr, he can constantly maintain those prots from his 2 Up to 52(+24% int) prots for 6 seconds on a 6 second base cd (with passive), just seems insane to me. Like he gets more prots from damage items than he could get from most defensive items

[@t.s.8430]

Def gonna share this tier list with the buds, just a few notes from experience after 300hrs in S2 (3:21) IMO, Aegis gets carries killed more often than it saves them and blink is the more viable option, slowly also teaches better positioning since you find times when you realize you are out of position and use blink to get away, making you want to prevent that next time and in next games to come. Whereas with Aegis all I ever hear is "I pressed Aegis WTF?!" or "They still got me" and on some occasions "Good aegis, idiot" Guess my argument is: Aegis keeps you a bad player, finding alternatives makes you a better one (35:01) I disagree for the sake of flavor in the video game. Ik in a competitive game the meta is all that matters, but there is a certain amount of soul in a game that is lost when the meta is the only important factor. I believe that it is a good thing that Thanatos has no mana and there is a reason why the item just wouldn't work clearly laid out. Its unique and letting him have it just because everyone else can just means we lose a cool interaction. I am kinda burnt out on the whole Smite1 "lets make every god equal to make a balanced meta, and fail" plan, I think now with Smite2 we are looking at "this god does X, figure out what's fun and what works on them" instead of "build this cause [role]" (also, never heard a Thanatos complain about being slow, often hear shock about just how fast they are sometimes, so maybe we don't need crutches for the newbies, something you preach a lot right?)

[@mekacrab]

I don't see how having a free escape tool (blink) makes you a better player in terms of positioning. I think it's the opposite, it allows you to get away with bad positionning more often.
