ARTEMIS BUILD? HIGH DMG/CRIT

[messi]

Hello, i haven't played Smite for like 2 and a half years and i forgot what's the best build.
PLEASE, SUGGEST BEST ARENA & JOUST HIGH DAMAGE AND CRIT BUILD FOR ARTEMIS THAT IS NOT INCLUDING "HASTENED FATALIS"

[Ragnoraok]

Why play with Artemis? Her passive rework ruined her once reliable and threatening dps output. You might as well play a hunter that has an escape since they more than likely has just as much, if not slightly lower dps.

If you're bringing up Hastened Fatalis, it's definately been longer than 2 1/2 years. At any rate, a build that most auto attack focused hunters go for is death's embrace, ninja tabi, devourer's gauntlet, odyssess' bow, qin's sais, and titan's bane. If the game drags on long enough, you can sell ninja tabi for dominance. This should give high enough % pen for tank shredding, enough flat to deal with squishies, and enough sustain to keep yourself in the fight.

If crit is what you want, go for ninja tabi, devourer's gauntlet, executioner's axe, odyssess' bow, rage, and deathbringer. Might want to consider going for wind demon instead of odyssess' bow.

Pretty much any hunter is a better choice than Artemis.

I used to exclusively play Artemis in season 3 and 4 and since they removed Hastened Fatalis and reworked her passive, I just can't really justify playing her over any other hunter in Smite. In fact, even a Bellona ADC is more viable than Artemis.

For gods in a similar vein of Artemis, take a look at Heimdallr or Chronos. They're relatively easy to get into with certain bits of kit that give them an edge against the opponent.

I see you have a lot of game knowledge.
1) Could you suggest me any OP God that is overpowered just like Artemis was (like high damage per shot) (back in the days artemis could hit 1000 per shot)
2) What do you think about Cernunnos?

Exactly. At some point, Hi-Rez decided that crit was too RNG, and reworked some characters that had crits in their builds, like Artemis and Hun Batz. Since then, these characters have been weaker, especially in the case of Artemis, who will always be flat out worse than whatever hunter is meta.

Its mind-boggling that a company that designs a MOBA doesn't comprehend how important crit is to DPS, but then again SMITE is more of a brawler than a MOBA to begin with.

DPS-oriented hunters don't really exist anymore, and all of the best Hunters rely mainly on their abilities for burst or utility. However, If you want a Hunter who deals massive damage from their autos, then Izanami is a good pick. Rama and Anhur can also deal a lot of damage, but you need to use them in conjunction with their auto attack stimulating abilities (For Rama its his 1 and For Anhur its his pillar).

But they left the crit in Ne Zha's passive lol. I'm personally not a fan of crit at all. It feels like a cheap mechanic in any game and I always hate being forced to buy Spectral in order to have a fighting chance.

I'm not sure what Artemis needs in a reworked kit in order to make her viable. Maybe add crit back into her passive, but make it so that she has increased crit chance and enhanced crit damage on stunned/crippled enemies to synergize with her current passive and kit. Also, maybe add a slight increase to her movement speed with her 2 so she'll have a better chance at escaping.

1) Hmm... I'm not sure. I haven't played too much ADC lately as I'm trying to get better with jungling. When I did heavily, Izanami and Heimdallr could easily chunk just about anyone. Heimdallr probably has the hardest hitting autos in the game, but they don't benefit to terribly from crit as he only benefits from 70% of the potential crit damage. Izanami is able to double hit everything, making her clear one of the best in the game and one of the best boxing potentials.

2) I haven't seen too much of Cernunnos lately. I didn't ever play him enough to have a solid opinion on him. His ult is nice for some disruptive CC, similar to Hera's 2 but in an AOE. His two is nice for a cripple and damage to help his wave clear, but a little hard to confirm the CC without the proper setup. His three is good for some AA cancel burst damage or a small dash away from danger. That all being said, I feel like his 1 is a bit clunky to use. But like I stated earlier, I haven't spent enough time to have a well-informed opinion from personal experience. He probably relies more on his auto damage than his abilities all things considered.

Crit is an integral part of a MOBA and is one of the major components of having a dps class. I understand if you don't like it, but then that must mean that you either don't want to play as dps or you don't want to play competitively. Both of these options are okay, but the basic tenants and strategies of MOBAs become trivialized. By that, I mean how the dps class is supposed to be able to deal most of their damage from autos and not be as reliant on their abilities (besides self-buffing or enemy debuffing).

As for Artemis, the ONLY reason to pick her was her high dps, which back then made her one of the hardest hitting gods. Nowadays, anyone can deal massive amounts of damage AND have insane utility. Even hunters that can't outdamage Artemis are better since they have team utility or at the very least can protect themselves. With Artemis, a team pretty much has to babysit her all game as she is very easy to gank without her ult out. To make her viable, they need to give Artemis some sort of a dash/escape and make her trap easier to land or to have a higher payoff.
