What if the solo laner built thebes instead of the Guardian!?(Lets talk 4.11)

Somewhere in a Warrior build, it's a great item and it allows the Guardian to have more build diversity and maybe build into CDR earlier, on gods like geb or athena who rely on CDR this would help them a bit more.

The typical build could look more like this for Guardian: Boots -> Vangaurd and/or -> Sov -> HoU -> Spirit Robe -> Shoguns / Emporers Armor -> Mantle/etc.

....

Or we could do this by nerfing thebes or making it a physical power item possibly and buff the HP back to 400 if so or give it 10 base defs. I feel sov/heartward are solid enough aura items and we DO NOT need more on guardians at least.

I dislike having to build 3-4 core items (if you want to count heartward or an item form the robe tree or even shoguns as well) because that is stupid and completely ruins build diversity. This is an issue and is counterproductive to counter-building and tactically building.

I miss building bulwark on tanks too. Feelsbad.
