A lot of you guys probably won't even notice but there was a minor issue with my mic, I have absolutely no clue why and it should be fixed in the next vid
Pythag is a GREAT item for Ares. It gives him more lifesteal than Bancrofts and almost equal power for several hundred gold less. If you get it first item, you get an ungodly power spike right at around level 5-6 where Ares is strongest.
@@RenReclaimed it's still only 70 power as an early item. The lifesteal is only more in high health scenarios and the cdr is nice, but bancrofts is a better power spike especially given the passive.
@@nothanks6784 Yes, it is only seventy power as an early item but Ares abilities do not scale well, as Mast mentions in his video, what you benefit from is helping your own sustain as well as your teammates while you are passing through and splitting a wave.
Ares passive is bad when you look at him as a jungler but as a support 30 free power for building like your supposed to as a support = busted when he can chain and flame any squishy for 100% their hp because he has 120 or so power purely from aura items
Yes but now think about a jungler that can build 2 full protection items and still get 30 power out of them... Doesnt sound so bad to me. I just tried it and out played a thanatos that builded full damage...
I love love how I can go looking for a specific video and can tell your videos by the 3 items you state on the thumbnail. Makes it so easy to find a video I want at a glance not having to read who it is below each thumbnail.
The more i watch your videos the more i love you. Especially in a community as toxic as smite. You are super chill and i love your positive vibes :) Keep up your amazing work, love you ❤
Mast, as ares jungle it’s really hard to gank early game solo lane. Warriors blessing is insanely resilient to tick damage. It’s not from the tier 1 blackthorn. Also, I believe pythags is 120 power on ares for like 2300 gold. Very strong early game maybe 3rd item if you rush spear
Probably the thing I love about your videos the most is that your Gamertag is “call me mast” The first character I ever created on world of Warcraft was a dwarf hunter named call me master lol (no spaces obviously) but that’s where I started spending more time on video games then I did outside lol even though I gamed before wow that’s where I started.
Ares support is amazing just because of his passive. A lot of my friends get confused at me buying pythags but forget that supports job is also to buff his teammates and debuff their enemies. My build has 6 passive stacks and is extremely tanky at 4k hp and a ton of protections. Being able to stay alive for a long period of time, be just as tanky as any other support, and STILL be able to be a threat to squishies and anyone at low hp is extremely valuable. Went 15k, 1 death, and 18 assists as support ares and won even with both my solo and mid feeding.
Read the passive on "Warrior's Blessing" and you will see why you weren't damaging Serqet in those early ganks. Warrior's Blessing is a great item to have against tic damage, and back in the day, when Mark of the Vanguard was a thing, I used to get Mark of the Vanguard in mid if I was up against Anubis. Cut the ult damage by ~33%. I wish the old starter items would come back; they added so much variety to the early game.
I main Ares, as a jungle, yes, his Passive is trash, as a bruiser support, god like (no pun intended) building. I start with Tank boots then directly into gauntlet of Thebes, evolved give aura so great protections and +30 power for free, then Sovereignty and Heartward, throws protections to your ADC on top of your 2 then give you 60 power, then Runic Shield and Jade Emperors Crown, kills some of their power making you more tanky and makes it harder to kill your allies. finally if you have the gold switch boots for speed potion and pestilence or go full hate with Mythic Mail, resulting in ridiculous damage and insane protections and protection throwing
Auras are amazing on ares it just gives free damage for being tanky. Even when jungling its hard to deal with a tanky jungler that still hurts. Also pythags piece gives 100 power on ares. Ares passive is awesome.
The reason Serqet was so tanky early is that Warrior's Blessing is such a potent counter to Ares in the earlygame! everything being ticks means that warrior's negates soooo much dmg :o
The reason you did so little damage to Serqet at the start is because of Warrior's Blessing. Your damage at that point wasn't high anyways plus the Blessing gives health, protections (it was evolved already) and reduced every tick of Ares's chain + flames by 3, it might not seem much but it adds up to a point where you deal almost half the damage. Edit:Also, yeah, more health from Shillelagh.
Hey Mast, at 26:12, why go for Obsidian over Spear of Deso? Obsidian's % pen coupled with Magus is a bit nerfed, is it not? (or has the internal math on that changed?) I figure Deso's flat pen works better both with your Magus and the fact that Ares doesn't scale super well, plus the CDR and passive is always welcome. Was it an econ decision? Or am I missing something else?
I tried looking at the patch notes and I didn’t see any indication that he even had that. But I think Ares himself should only get a 50% increase to aruas because 100% would just be over the top.
Is it normal as jg to take others people creeps, I've never really done that myself but I see it so often in your vid's I wonder if that's ok for me to do as well
I'm not sure why you said the scaling on ares' shackle is bad. It's 525 base dmg with 75% magical power scaling PER shackle. That's 225% if you hit all 3 chains with a 1 second gap between each shot.
pyth start is better than rushing magus i think you get for not that much gold: shit ton of health 100 dmg cooldown something around 25 % ls (or 24 sth like that) in general it's really good for that price tag
I've been playing a lot of ares jungle i personally value the cdr so prefer blue boots my generic build has been pythags, magus, ethereal staff, iso, witch blade and boots. having like 3k health in jungle is hilarious.
A lot of you guys probably won't even notice but there was a minor issue with my mic, I have absolutely no clue why and it should be fixed in the next vid
Mast Np keep the good work up
I noticed. It was awful. Ruined the entire video for me and I couldn’t finish it.
Jk
I like turtles
warriors blessing demolished your damage on serq XD
I like trains
Mast: Aura items are bad
Also Mast: So were going to build Mystical Mail and Void Stone next
He's just saying the passive doesn't make it worth it to build abnormal aura items like pythagorean just for 30 power
Pythag is a GREAT item for Ares. It gives him more lifesteal than Bancrofts and almost equal power for several hundred gold less. If you get it first item, you get an ungodly power spike right at around level 5-6 where Ares is strongest.

Yep. As an Ares main Void stone is the only aura item i ever build for Damage Ares, but when I'm support I have at least 4 aura items normally.
in SPL they're building auras on him in jungle too. Screamm would go jade emperors then contagion
I mean in a good comp for it pythags is nuts on jungle ares
Yes but now think about a jungler that can build 2 full protection items and still get 30 power out of them... Doesnt sound so bad to me. I just tried it and out played a thanatos that builded full damage...
@@kaijyuu_ka-ju48 exactly
Mast confirmed not alpha after not going blink first relic on ares.
5:22 in game chat. "You runned from my shell"
Mast: Goes 18 Kills and 2 deaths on Ares.
Also Mast: 29:52 Receives a commendation for being Friendly?
Your teammates are trolls

8:04 That sounded so genuine. Like you were so happy!
You have an unmatched ability to explain stuff. Well done sir and I wish you all the success you deserve in the future 👍
God damn 25:29 was beautiful. Zhong probably did most of the dmg, but that sword sliced through Ne Zha like butter.
Excellent game Mast, but I gotta give the highlight to Bluegeans for that absurd bait.

Joey Loreti ye warrior blessing it s the perfect counter to ares
yeah warriors is definitely nuts vs ares
I nominate Mast to lead the Area 51 raid.
you guys are slow af, i got in weeks ago
@@MastYT No wonder your mic was messing up, you’re recording in Area 51! The madman!
Ares 51
Probably the thing I love about your videos the most is that your Gamertag is “call me mast”

I'm addicted to your videos. If you posted 5 a day, I'd watch them all.
Lmao 8:00 that “I’m nutty” made me laugh so hard

What’s your build brother?
That Nike baited so hard and still killed Janus and that Cu Chulain support was going off gg
4:48 100% absolutly relatable 😂 same with me, i suck at ares chains, they have a weird delay and i dont get familiar with it 😅
Congratulations on the KFC sponsorship Mast! So proud of you lil buddy!
"I'm nutty" loved that part
You took the role of the god of war quite good. you went to battles time and time again and you came victorious. Ares would be proud of ya xD
You should’ve gone Pythagorem’s Piece instead of Poly, works way better with ares :) Nice vid tho
No xd
No way, that poly proc on Ne Zha near the end alone made poly worth it.
Or a Shaman's Ring bc DoTs and movement speed
Good work, Mast. It isn’t easy giving quality commentary while playing the game. I’m way too ADHD to have that talent lol
Just finished watching scream play this and it absolutely owned
Who next? Sylvanus jungle? ^^
Or good old Cu Chulainn solo
Read the passive on "Warrior's Blessing" and you will see why you weren't damaging Serqet in those early ganks.

How do you guys know about these buffs and nerfs? Where is all this information at? I’ve always wonder.
In the patch notes like every other game?
I miss the ares chain a lot. Maybe it’s the delay, but it never seems to go where I aim it
BTW the reason why people say go aura items you get basically +50 power each item along with being tanky
"Ares passive is bad" it is 30 power free on items that people buy anyway
It's a fine passive, but Ares' scaling isn't too great, so he doesn't get much use out of the magical power.
@@nawk278 the scaling on his abilities is a red herring. Look to the autos and and the poly proc
Can confirm, am Ares main, was angry... great video as always Mast 😂
The chain is like hit scan imo,the moment the targeter lights red,shoot and watch them accordingly
An item I’ve been loving on ares is pridwin, so nice to get cool down and I think should be last item mandatory
I aspire to be that Nike at 26 minutes. When I pull off great tank plays like that as a tank I feel like such a badass!! I'm in awe!!
Shamans Ring/Pythags is really nice for ares jungle
pytagorem piece 100 power for a really cheap item

What would you trade boots for?
Fourteen minutes in, Mast has been carrying around two wards for nearly ten minutes...
Auras are amazing on ares it just gives free damage for being tanky. Even when jungling its hard to deal with a tanky jungler that still hurts.
Also pythags piece gives 100 power on ares.
Ares passive is awesome.

Mystical mail messes up my blinks too often so I skip out on it.
Hey mast, try ares chains on instant cast. Makes them feel like hunter autos, a bit easier to hit.
I’m an ares main can confirm chains take forever to fly out
No, it means you can't aim 😬
Franky Split didn’t say I couldn’t hit them they just have a long travel time nice try tho 😁
didnt ares passive double the arua effect at one time?
i don't remember but that'd be a way better passive IMO
I tried looking at the patch notes and I didn’t see any indication that he even had that. But I think Ares himself should only get a 50% increase to aruas because 100% would just be over the top.
And why wouldn't you build Bancroft's Horn, Soul Reaver, and Rod of Thuti on Ares?
aaron laluzerne you don’t build soul reaver on dot gods
@@melikepeeps3001 alright, thank you for the intel.
They should make Ares 2 count toward his passive.. it wouldnt change too much but it would help
im so glad my fav god is buffed
Saw the notification and was like wtf is this guy up to now.
I'm so happy aries got this buff he's been one of my favorite gods since I started
Mast buying wards...where to place them? Ehh no need, good to have them on me !
Can you use the new item and throw like 6 chains in a row after ULT???
Yes
Best Ares item is gem of iso, prove me wrong Mast :D
You should try shamens ring. Extra damage does wonders
You did my request :)
Your intro sounds so much different than your normal voice
No gem of iso makes me sad. Those poly pimp slaps were priceless tho!
Even when Mast intentionally gives them a chance by walking into Janus ult at a decent range they still can't kill him.
Scream played Ares jg in 3 games in SPL already
is the intro theme by Flamingosis?
He's had a decent amount of SPL play
You know it's bad when the support becomes the ADC.
Is it normal as jg to take others people creeps, I've never really done that myself but I see it so often in your vid's I wonder if that's ok for me to do as well
Warriors blessing actually destroys Ares that's why the Serqet was so tanky in the beginning
Current Relic Dagger is so crazy 😍 all that health, cd, mvmt and 40 fkn seconds of relic 😍 😍 🔥
well technically Serq can ult out of your ult
You should’ve equipped the Fernando skin
I'm not sure why you said the scaling on ares' shackle is bad. It's 525 base dmg with 75% magical power scaling PER shackle. That's 225% if you hit all 3 chains with a 1 second gap between each shot.
pyth start is better than rushing magus i think
you get for not that much gold:
shit ton of health
100 dmg
cooldown
something around 25 % ls (or 24 sth like that)
in general it's really good for that price tag
10 penetration and 50 protection reduction is still better than 100 magical power.
@@nawk278 but not at as good as 100 power plus 250 haelth plus 24 lifesteal and 10 cooldown
BRUH Ares 2 is OP af.
That's... not sarcasm or a goof either. It's an insane aura.
u chain 3 ppl, pop the 2, pop the 3 and you are an unkillable flaming dog walker because of the 2's prots
u underestimate the lvld up ares 2. could have saved ur life MAYBE at around 21:52 rite after ne zha ult
Shaman’s ring would have increased shred and move speed. Better than Bumba’s?
Agree. But also gotta go fast
That cu chu was king
Gem of isolation is great on Ares
I've been playing a lot of ares jungle i personally value the cdr so prefer blue boots my generic build has been
pythags, magus, ethereal staff, iso, witch blade and boots. having like 3k health in jungle is hilarious.
yo mast can you do a tryhard adc vid cause i’m a legit potato at that role
Hey can you play Medusa? Maybe jungle but whatever you want lol
Someone tried to copy this build in my ranked game today. He went 3 and 16.
Did you know if someone is chained they cant go through Janus portal, this includes janus
This is actually very interesting
41 protections at level 4
"Yeah that's still pretty trash lol"
8:00 janus ult hits for 0
You not canceling the three at the start after clearing the buffs as a jungler main kinda triggered me not gonna lie
love mast
14:20 mast bipolar confirmed?
Ares will always be my main
Nike top 5 plays
Gg Mast
Day 1 of asking mast to play xiang tian jungle
probably will soon, been wanting to try it for a while :)
Mast it’s realky fun and easy to pop off in late game as xiang tian jungle
You talk about how much damage you do but you never check how much damage you do. Just press T
I was that Ares main😂
Splyce ran Ares jungle vs SSG
Love it
Hmmm.... first blood in the first minute .25..
Then oracles....
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee......
Play Raijin Mid PLEASE MAST
