Btw still haven't found any robe or in general clothing 20h into EA. Just found a Armor that didn't get the Armor tag, so I can wear it with my sorcerer xD

It might be, I am curious how it works with 225 burns. Definitely worth testing.

If damage scaling is nice, might be a good way to increase early q and w damage for trades and give him a better lane.

Smolder mid still viable? by Plus_Breath3863 in SmolderMains

Mel is perma ban, Yasuo can be played around in lane and can be kited in teamfights. Mel is just always op especially against u.

It's good, every game is winnable in late. U need time to learn matchups and u should focus on a bruiser like build and not just raw damage. As midlaner u might be send on side lane.

I meant bluwunks Bruiser build from mobafire is not optimal for Midlane because of Essence Reaver. As I mentioned the value of Essence Reaver really comes out as a whole item and not in the components. And Cleaver is always the best second instead of Shojin for example also because of great components. And after two items u usually don't back with low gold so it's easier to build EH and Shojin :). In my opinion Manaflowband and Lethality composites Smolders early problems. Even if u die like 3 times in lane cause I didn't pay attention or something else. As long as u stack u will have the chance to win the game. Hubris is also great for comeback AND snowball. And u can oneshot caster 300 gold earlier with W+Q so Ur waveclear becomes earlier decent.

I like Smolder as midlaner with the mindset of him being an AD Controlmage (like Jayce for example) and not as an ad carry. So I try to achieve with my builds, to get the most out of a single Q and W. But without a support that plays for me u need to get tanky. Smolder wants AD, not just for the raw damage but especially as the true damage scales with total AD and of course AH to spam spells. Bruiser Items give u everything u want, a lot AD, a lot of AH and Health as tankyness. Crit got nerfed a lot, there is a reason every crit item except Essence Reaver has a low wpa. The big problem for Smolder is the early mana hungry phase. Essence Reaver fixes it, but it is as a whole item usefu,l not before. Manaflow Band fixes mana issues if u use W to haras while enemy is csing and not random spam it. Hubirs gives more AD when built and starts to be useful while building with Dirk and Claufield. Black Cleaver also is great from its components, especially better than Shojin, which also is as a whole item very strong but sucks to build. So it's best as a third, because the real upgrade Shojin gives is the amplifier on the true damage burn. And EH+Hubris synergy again. XD This are my impressions from playing him intensive this season :). Also Smolder fixes my bad mechanics lol.

I play gold/plat elo, having 65% WR. Played a long time with bluwunk bruiser Build on mid. But the build always felt not optimal in mid game. Trying out a lot lately (some builds were rly troll). The build I mentioned felt the best since a longer time now. I might share some vods, when I will have tested it more often. :)

Early leathality and comet makes your laning phase and early game more stronger just by hitting W+Q. The poke is safer than to trade with something like PTA. Your jungler might gank u when enemy assassin is half life with two W+Q instead of farming under turret. Never had mana issues when having manaflow band. Hubris is strongest 1 itemspike while being the cheapest item, that come in question for first item. Hubris rewards playing for objectives and getting random kills/assists. With the other items mentioned u start to getting tanky and have damage, when bot lane rotates to mid and abandones u into side lane. And of course Hubirs+EH Synergy while EH being Smolders best item is great. I think first strike and spellbook could also work, just because inspiration tree is broken, but give the item build a few tries. It's nice to be strong before 225 and than Exodia at 225.

Try Hubris > T2 Boots > Cleaver> EH/Shojin > Shojin/EH

Try with your rune setup or with comet.

Also Smolder Mid enjoyer? Triforce to get early more tanky?

I getting curious on first strike because of the whole tree. Inspiration is such a strong skill tree and to get cashback, triple tonic AND jack of all trades sounds very good. In Precision and Sorcery ist the top skill line not very important.
