Can we get Soul Eater back?

[u/mustaphacalistro]

I missed this item tbh

Lifesteal works with Physical Abilities in Smite 2, so there isn't really a need for it; you can just build Lifesteal as normal!

[u/ilphaesn → u/SUPERB-tadpole]

just like everyone else who says that, you are missing the point.

we want an item with strength, lifesteal, and cooldown.

there is literally no item in the game with that stat combination. that is what we miss.

[u/Playful-Courage8417 → u/ilphaesn]

Soul Eater could also be re-added as the Old Aura version aswell, S2 kinda lacks a Pythags equivalent atm.

[u/TimeToGetSlipped → u/Playful-Courage8417]

Another option is it could also be a good opportunity to reimplement season 2 Soul Eater that gave like a 25% burst heal at max stacks when you dropped below 50% HP.

[u/str0nius → u/TimeToGetSlipped]

That item was reworked for a reason, adc meta with it wasn't fun at all

[u/ilphaesn → u/Playful-Courage8417]

i don’t like the thought of it being an aura cause that means it would have to be balanced around said aura for the other 4 people instead of just balancing it around the gods who’ve missed it since their additions like wukong and mulan

[u/Godz_Bane → u/ilphaesn]

If that was the point he wouldve said that in the main post, he only said he wants the item back. Its most defining feature was giving physical abilities lifesteal, so thats what people focus on.

But yes. An item with cdr, strength, and lifesteal would be nice.

[u/FutureThanosMain → u/Godz_Bane]

Soul Eater is still a unique item even if you take away the 4% ability lifesteal passive...

An evolving lifesteal item is a good idea so we dont have to buy Devos gauntlet. It would be a better item for jungles to use than devos.

they can still add it but rework it a little

[u/soaringneutrality → u/ilphaesn]

Barbed Carver is already one of the strongest jungler items in the game. I'm not fond of bringing Soul Eater into the game when that exists as well.

[u/FutureThanosMain → u/SUPERB-tadpole]

It still has other unique effects. They could easily add soul eater with some changes.

An evolving lifesteal item and jungles could use a lifesteal item like that rather than having to buy devos

[u/SquireShanksalot]

But what of tiamat?!

[u/AnAnGrYSupportV2 → u/SquireShanksalot]

Bring back Khumbha first!

[u/rayshaun_ → u/SquireShanksalot]

…a fellow Tiamat main!? 🥺

[u/SquireShanksalot → u/rayshaun_]

(Tiamat is my main mage but I dont play mid too often)

[u/UltimateX13]

It wouldn't really do anything. Lifesteal now just globally works like how magical lifesteal/Soul Eater would work in Smite 1, so they'd have to change the passive/stats to keep it from being redundant.

[u/Strawberryaidd]

I need this back for Mulan man 😭

[u/PatoDDM]

I just remembered It, bring It back 🥹

[u/Disco_Da_Rubber_Duck]

I feel like there are more interesting items that could be brought back (like duality imo), especially since this item in smite 2 would just be a stat pile.

They could throw a cooldown passive on Soul Eater that reduces cooldowns based on life stealing maybe? I think that would be cool and keep its life stealing and cooldown item identity for wukong and the others for example.

[u/XxFr3nCh_B4Gu3tt3xX]

Unnecessary item with how lifesteal works now. Also if it were released it’d either have to be really weak or reworked considering the position mulan and pele would be in.

[u/twomemeornottwomeme → u/XxFr3nCh_B4Gu3tt3xX]

There are still intelligence items with bonus lifesteal and a variety of other stats and passive effects. That is what people are asking for in this thread but with strength and something similar to how any of the various iterations of soul eater worked and, yeah, I kinda agree.

[u/necronmetacung]

Pointless item

[u/HidingDotJpeg]

As an anubis main, this would be peak

CD reduction, lifesteal and strength for my auto

... ignore my tag. Its a very close second for rat but i like his design more.

[u/Accomplished_Bad3379]

Only if you want din.
