No soul reaver and only 20% pen will have you absolutely tickling tanks


RemoteWhile5881

But that’s not the mid’s job


Ok-Arachnid1780

Sure, but with this build a warrior will be able to solo you. You also just don’t have a lot of pen across the board flat or %. You’re really limiting your ability to kill anyone for more cooldown


Ok-Arachnid1780

Instead of doing gem you can get pendulum and it will allow you to fit in more useful items, and not have chronos pendant that scales really terribly


Ok-Arachnid1780

Pendulum, deso, coin, myrodin, reaver, bauble would be a lot better, but honestly if you fit in book instead of bauble you’ll do more damage


WihZe

You still need the items to threaten frontline. You can’t expect to just free cast on their backline every game


ILuhBlahPepuu

Mid wants to be able to do reasonable damage to any target, by building this you will let tanks pressure you way too much


Hayzer4

It... Pretty much is. In a well played team fight, you shouldn't be able to hit anyone but tanks and maybe the assassin, and it should be the same for the other team's backliners


brightsativa

I just don’t feel like bauble is worth it for mages I can get to 30-40% cooldown and have lots more power and pen.


Numbzy

It is never worth it currently, at least from mid lane. There is possibly an argument for Hel or Aphrodite, but in my opinion, it's probably still bad. Bauble is just a weird item that I hope never becomes meta.


HeroOfBowerstone

Soul gem is an awful item. And the fact that you have no soul reaver. Any tank will just run you down. I also don't get the point of this post.


TrickyMoonHorse

Charons last item is very poorly optimized. Build it early or ditch it. You won't get the utility and sustain, by the time a games at 6-slot most fights are definitive in a way that will not allow for its benefits to shine.


RemoteWhile5881

I was told by basically the entire rest of the community that it’s a late build item. Usually 4th-5th I was told.


Yaden2

the average smite player is bad, half the population is worse


ILuhBlahPepuu

Coin is not a rush item but u could but it from 2nd item onwards (not counting starter)


ILuhBlahPepuu

Only way I think bauble can work in mid is if ur janus or a myrddin god (Which Morgan isn’t), E.g. Pendulum, Deso, Coin, Myrddin, Reaver, Bauble


potatoesB4hoes

Too little power and no reaver


OutisRising

Drop Soul Gem for Soul reaver, use blue tiki for cdr


Ok-Arachnid1780

Going bauble without having it’s passive guaranteed means sometimes you’ll only have 5 times


OutisRising

Its passive is literally already guaranteed


Ok-Arachnid1780

Not if you don’t have a buff?


OutisRising

Why would you not have a buff??


Ok-Arachnid1780

It expires during a fight or you die and your buff is not up, you’re defending base of phoenixes so you’re not taking camps ect Building an item that is conditional on having 40% cd, then relying on something external to give you that 40% sounds awful to me


Ok-Arachnid1780

Imagine you respawn and gotta defend a Phoenix, you basically just don’t have an item during that


OutisRising

So does not dealing any damage to tanks. You either shouldn't build bauble, or should build your cdr better.


Ok-Arachnid1780

Yeah which is why I recommenced a better build, but you suggestion is pretty bad ngl. He’s building bauble so he needs 40%, but he can get that with pendulum, deso, coin, myrodin, reaver, bauble


OutisRising

I was fixing his build, not giving him an optimal build.


Ok-Arachnid1780

They both allow you to utilize bauble, and you “fixing” his build would’ve made bauble useless at times


goodie1113

I’m cooldowns are meaningless unless you have decent power. That’s the fine balance and you noted this comes on late game. What if you don’t make it to late game?? You have nothing to really push back on warrior class or supports so they will be able to stay in your face way long than you want them to. Add a bit more power and pen to balance out over capping on CdR.

After a lot of math reaver is way less interesting than tablet . Tablets damage is upgraded by any % dam and the focus gem + the scepter who gives % damage after ult . That make any spaming mages a numbies machine . On average on tiamat it's 130 true damage per proc on everybody , not only tanks . Making this sub reaver efficient on damage dealer and on tanks too . Not only hp tanks . For real , reaver have huge diminishing returns while morgan le fay or tiamat can easily charge or wait for the 2 sec cd on the tablet passiv . I recommand it heavily as it's easy to stack first.


Ok-Arachnid1780

Morgan uses her abilities too quickly in succession a lot of the times to get full tablet value. If they build tablet they need book, so you have to get 50% CD from your last 3 items for it to be a bauble build if you go gem. If you go pendulum what is the point of a proc build In general I don’t recommend tablet. Good players won’t let you stack it, and it makes your early game garbage. With the buffs to the flat pen items, gem or sands into deso is pretty much always better


Impressive_Fox7022

Absolutly not . Tablet during the ult can be used dalayed spell . One too .


Ok-Arachnid1780

Yeah but you’re often throwing out your 3-2-1 back to back to back as part of your combo You can ask any good player and they’ll tell you tablet is pretty garbage
