Ok, lets see what this change in the meta for OB7 means for tank builds. I'll be using SmiteBase for my calculations of character base health and overall stats of OB6 as well as the base for OB7 before changes. Lets go with Achilles as our example with this build as representative of the meta: Sundering Axe, Runeforged Hammer, Mystical Mail, Glad Shield, Ancile, Glorious Pridwen, Magi's Cloak
OB6 NUMBERS WITH THIS BUILD:
Health: 3675
Strength: 70
Cooldown: 40
Phys Prots: 251
Mag Prots: 221
Glad Proc Damage: 133
OB7 NUMBERS WITH THIS BUILD:
Health: 3625 3475 (u/PonPonWeiWei clarified that Runeforged and Mystical are also losing health and ive updated the numbers to reflect that)
Strength: 65
Cooldown: 22
Phys Prots: 221
Mag Prots: 201
Glad Proc Damage: 184 (or if its only 40% of prots and not 15 dmg + 40% prots then its 169 proc dmg)
Honestly not a huge difference, just 30 off phys prots and 20 off mag prots. Health is practically untouched with only a loss of 50 hp. Cooldown got hit but can be upped by replacing magi's (which lost all cooldown) with mantel or another item. And Glad got its damage buffed by 51 or 36. Tanks are eating good.
What are your thoughts on the upcoming meta?
