miles pro-tip: before charging an Invoker (which I suggest doing early and often,) make sure he doesn't have a cold-snap ready before you end up on dotawtf
MoM is way overrated on SB. Don't build it. Aghs on SB is the ripe tits. Build it like second or third item.
I've been building spirit breaker in the following way: Urn Treads SB/SE (situatonal) Vlads (if no one else is carrying it) AC If the game isn't over by this point, you've lost.
Kill things. I'd rather pay more money for a Vlad's than get a MoM. In my experience of diving face first into team fights with him, the upped damage you take has a bigger effect than your increased attack speed.
>killing things post 11 minutes without mask ???? mask of madness offers insane dps and value for 1800 gold. Plus you can use it to farm the jungle.
I play (lol like I ever play anymore) him as a 4/5. Items that will would let me farm the jungle quicker are (were) of little interest to me. I farm(ed) people, not jungle camps. Treads wand urn glimmer was a nice early build for poverty cow.
Any tips on Arc Warden? He has horrendously bad win rates in trash tier but with Midas->Necro->BoTs->Rapiers build and rat your clone to victory looks really really tough to bring down aka What Fear raped a pro team with.
All part of the All-Hero-Challenge. After learning the game a little, I thought it would be good to learn to play all the heroes. Not my fault valve put techies next to AW. 37 left.
go safelane rush midas BOTs rapiers if you get an early midas, you win if they crush your lane, you lose.
Does an AoE bash on nether strike with a 20 second CD sound good to you (RIP 12 second CD)? It's the best thing you can do for him if the game is all 5v5 team fights.
Rat Doto. I took 5 towers and a set of racks and we still got beat. CANCEROUS http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2138736999 4th Rapier was on its way back from shop as they took the ancient. I've looked at Dotabuff and saw a bunch of high level guys get a MoM? Should I do that?
When the other team picks Ursa/SF/Omni and Omni just follows Ursa around the entire game, permanently casting repel Spoiler Kill me pete
Too situational to post a skill build, but generally poison touch and shallow grave are value points while maxing shadow wave and taking your ult whenever possible. Max grave over poison touch afterwards. Arcanes (into guardian greaves late game) and urn are generally a safe bet. You're a poor 5, so obviously all the wards, dust, sentries, smoke are on you.
If you do get a little stash of gold, Force Staff and Glimmer Cape work well. Also good to ALWAYS carry a tp scroll with you. If you happen to get ganked, and those doing it have no lockdown, you can grave yourself and tp away.
Concur on everything said so far, would like to add that MoC/solar crest is also very good on dazzle. Weave + solar crest is an insane amount of armor addition/reduction, and shadow wave is physical damage so it's got nice synergy.
FUCKING PUT THE TEAM ON MY BACK THO. You're welcome for my rat dota, taking your towers, gankin your snipers. 4 Rapiers is pretty hilarious. http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2141006953 Actually a miserable team to rat against, much prefer 1-2 supports who die in 3 hits. Also, MoM is excellent mid to late for rat pushing lanes before Rapiers are up. Also, so fucking impossible to stop cheese like that. I can take t3 towers in like 5 seconds. Never playing that shit again. They ended up turtling to try to protect t3 and racks after 40 minutes, they never crossed river after 50 minutes. Such a dumb way to play dota.
cegtfc friedskillet Stylee I made the mistake of rewatching the end of our 70 minute loss last night so I could understand what happened. It was worse than I imagined. For the rest of you: we have mid-racks down, a pickoff, and are heading down mid for the GG push. We've generally been winning team fights for the last 10-15 minutes. We move to high ground, initiate the fight... and our Slark walks outside their base.. and TPs away... to defend a tier 3 tower. We narrowly lose the teamfight, and they march down and end the game. I thought he just never joined the push. He was fucking there and left.
