I tried that tonight, but then you can't watch what happens prior to jumping. You still have to scramble around looking for a target. Whereas before I could locate my target, then queue up a stun the instant the second circle appeared, even if they were about to exit the circle. Now it's too jarring and I miss the target pretty frequently.

What makes Guardian Angel better than Warmogs on Pantheon? My thinking is that the sustain from warmogs would be more beneficial than the revive since I'm usually not diving carries but instead peeling for my own carries. And my first thought was that his passive has better synergies with HP than resists.

His passive doesn't synergize with either, actually. The amount your passive blocks is linked to how much your opponents autos doe rather than your total HP/resists/ehp.

GA (revives you with 750 HP, has 68 armo, 38 MR)is awesome because it just gives more effective hit points than Warmog (975HP+stacking) assuming the refresh is active, and it costs 400 gold less.

And actually, I've been building Aegis on Pantheon a lot recently, feels like you get it at a nicer breakpoint than GA. I do quite like having Aegis/GA/HPitem here.

GA gives 750 HP every 5 minutes, while warmogs give 1350 every 1 min. which is a big difference (150/1350). You can trade armor, MR for health regen.

This is true, regen is really solid, however I'd much rather have GA proc and resists in a teamfight than a warmogs. Just a better teamfight item.

Well my thought was since his passive only blocks enemy autos (physical damage) that armor isn't as needed and therefor MR or HP would be better overall. However I can see where having a nice mix of HP, Arm, Res, and some damage from Aegis is actually a great all around item.

Also the lifesteal from BT works better in combo with resists than flat HP so is it effective to build Aegis then GA after damage items? Basically boots > Bruta > BT > Aegis > GA would be the all around build.

What boots are best on pantheon? Are the resists from Aegis and GA enough to warrant Berzerkers Greaves early game? I've seen people recommending it on some builds but Pantheon doesn't rely on autos enough to make it more cost effective than defensive boots does he?

I dont like Zerker greaves on pantheon. Imo Merc treads best boots hands down, if there absolutely no magic damage on the enemy team then ninja tabies good buy, but usually Merc treads my purchase.

If you roaming a lot i'd consider Boots of Mobility.

I did some numbers on the builds using the Champion builder on leaguecraft.com

Mercs,Bruta,BT,GA
Physical Damage Health: 5,103 (+1359.32)
Magical Damage Health: 4,308 (+1259.37)
Effective Hit Points: 4,706 (+1309.35)

Mercs,Bruta,BT,Aegis
Physical Damage Health: 4,931 (+1186.41)
Magical Damage Health: 4,912 (+1863.91)
Effective Hit Points: 4,921 (+1525.16)

Mercs,Bruta,BT,Warmogs (full stacks)
Physical Damage Health: 6,123 (+2378.71)
Magical Damage Health: 5,802 (+2754)
Effective Hit Points: 5,963 (+2566.36)

Looking at base stats alone Warmogs easily out classes the other two defensive items at this stage of the game. It's also slightly more expensive. Interestingly Aegis is slightly better than GA for raw stats so it just comes down to would you rather have the respawn or the team aura.

I will definitely switch out GA for Aegis in my builds because it's cheaper, better base stats, and supports my team. Although if I am fed I will go instead for the warmogs

Your GA numbers are off, you need to add the 750 HP you respawn with. GA is definitely a much stronger personal defensive item than Aegis or Warmogs when you factor in the revive in teamfight. You are also able to play really ballsy with it too.

So at 18 with GA you'd have 1999 base HP (although realisitcally you likely have dblades) as well as the 750 from GA revive in a teamfight giving you 2749 hp. So you eHP vs armor would be 2749*(1+1.55)= 7009.95, and an eHP against magic of 2749*(1+1.16)=5937.84.

GA>Warmogs.

To add to what iCanada said, there's also the fact that Warmogs is quite a bit mroe expensive than either GA or Aegis. Not to mention the amount of farm/kills/assists you'll need to stack it. Not only that, but you're completely forgetting about the ehp you gain from your lifesteal, which scales better with resists.

Yeah, this too.

In terms of gold efficiency Aegis>GA>Warmog.

Not to say that Warmogs isn't a good item, but i'd much rather have just a GA than just a Warmogs.

And just to chime in, leaguecraft often has a lot of mistakes in it's champion builder. I noticed that for Kayle it states that http://leaguecraft.com/builder/kayle Kayle has 130 AD at level 18. Kayle has 53.3+2.8*18=103.7 damage at level 18.

I'm not sure if your Effective HP calculators are off or not due to wrong armor/life values. Try to consider how much magic and armor pen enemies will likely have. I don't use builders anymore. I find that they're wrong way too often.



Add in that armor and mr work better with health pots for sustaining in lane, or with sustain abilities, and that having extra health can help combat true damage from ignite in lanes where everything is decided in one trade, and your math starts to look pretty shabby. Consider that GA isn't up for every team fight if you die and you lose out on even more there. GA can help you revive but you might be reviving to 5 people waiting to chain stun you or you might revive and have all your CD's off and be able to put some hurt on your enemy squishies.

Most pros have no idea what items are efficient or are not. They just know that they can win some games with the skills they have and the items they chose. Most items are situational. I recommend you throw this kind of math out the window and try things out. The best kind of analysis comes from replays.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

21-9-0 typically, I guess you could get away with 21-0-9 in some easy lanes (mp5 for more spear harass, stuff like that).

The first 11 points in defensive are so much weaker now than they were in season 2, so I always run 9 utility for mana regen/summoner spell CDR/Buff Duration.

Have you changed your views on item building with s3, btw?
Most people seemed to buy dblades->bruta->BT in s2, even when they could straight up BFS (with or without dblades), and they seem to have kept that in s3, going straight up bruta->BC in every single case.
I feel like it's a good item for late game peeler Panth, when you can stun and immediatly shred anyone diving your carry, but that it's a total waste of Panth's midgame compared to BT, even when there's other sources of damage on your team.

Depends on lane matchup, but typically bruta -> BT -> BC is my progression. I tend to try to smooth out the build path by going ruby and vamp scepter any time between before bruta and before BT, when it seems prudent to do so as a replacement for Dblades. LW next, then GA, then Aegis/Hexdrinker/BT as necessary.

When you play pantheon mid, what do you do in the team fights? I mean when you are mid you have to build damage: Brut, Cleaver, BT, etc. but when you dive in the middle you are "instagibbed", you are not like the AP carries who can shoot from distance, pantheon real damage is in the melee auto-attacks, but if you build him tanky (like when he is top) then not enough damage in the team?

Okay dudes, new build order against AP heavy teams (or even standard AP mid).

The idea is to max out your CDR and utilize your heartseeker your massive Armor shredding. You should be peeling for your ADC with your short cd stun and your armor reduction. If not, you can try diving their ADC with your ult.

Bruta
Boots
Longswords + Ruby Crystal

Convert the Bruta into a Black Cleaver and then buy another Bruta with the longswords.
Afterwards buy yourself a Spirit Visage.

At this point you should have:

Black Cleaver
Bruta
Spirit Visage
Mercs or Dodge Boots

Note: Now you have 40% CDR and your mid game core is essentially done. At this point you shouldn't really be getting more damage for a long time. You should just try to get tanky using your own discretion. Usually I get a warmogs and a randuins and then get a last whisper for my bruta spot (you can use a blue pot to keep your CDR capped later on). ALso, something worth investing in during the midgame is a vamp scepter. using panth's passive crit it can help you get some life back relatively easily. You can replace the last whisper with a BT in the build below if you feel it necessary.

Your end game build should be something along the lines of:

Black Cleaver
Last Whisper (or BT if you opted for the vamp scepter)
Boots
Warmogs
Spirit Visage
Randuins/some armor item

I've had some success with it, and I think it's worth giving a shot.
