u don't actually need soul ring or rob, pl only has 2 spells and he has a pretty big mana pool
soul ring helps in lane but it's not very useful outside of that

Laning is a pretty important part of the game, so its useful. With soulring you can also farm neutrals much faster or push the enemy out of lane quite easily.

If bloodseeker's ult killed you if you TPed out (or otherwise prevented TPs countering BS), then would he be a viable hero?

I'm thinking adding in a ministun would be good so he can't snipe people as they are about to finish TPing, so don't have time to cancel TP (and hence get instagibed).

Still doesn't solve the fact that he has 2 skills that don't do anything in teamfights and that he has shit damage when he pops BKB(No bloodrage for himself) and no survivability outside of BKB.

I've tried to make non soul ring builds work, but even with wand + RoB I'm often uncomfortably low on mana. Soul ring also gives you the ability to farm jungle by spamming lance if you're forced out of lane.

He could really use bloodrage piercing bkb and for the half bloodrage heal from hero death to be a bit bigger of an AOE so that he benefits a lot from the supports dieing in the beginning of a team fight.

That sounds pretty dumb, doppelwalk is a very important offensive spell too. I don't think you can get away with much more than 1-2 points of stats

So now we have a person who can counter Enigma in BKB without using ult? If you want BS to be picked that'd probably lead into that but for all the wrong reasons.

The oldschool radiance bloodseeker is supposed to help him heal during teamfights but it's a pretty bad idea generally. Basher all the way.

Bloodseeker is obviously a great hero, u just have to build the proper team around him:

how is dopplewalk an offensive spell? The more real reason people skip dopplewalk is because a single point in it gives you the same escape as 4 points in it. +38hp/2dmg/26 mana is honestly going to keep you alive more frequently than dopplewalk. It's by far the worst escape mechanism in the game. People going the stats build are still going to go dopplewalk if they think they're getting ganked but there's no call for putting past one point in it. You don't want juxtapose early because it pushes your lane, thus stats are taken. The ult only gets taken at 6 because it gives 10% magic resist.

In fights it's an extra illusion which for PL is quite helpful. Helps with pushing towers. It's the cheapest way to kill a camp with PL after he gets a few levels into jux and ult. Speed buff for chasing more often, more mana for more lance, etc.

Conclusive proof that Chinese are OP - shikyo disagrees with how they build.

In his defense, if you are in a weak dual lane (like in a pub or something), it can be useful to pick up only one early point of doppelwalk. But stats are a must on pl.

Please stop giving bad advice.

PSA: Shikyo literally doesn't know anything about Dota 2. New players please dont take his advice. it's bad.

To be honest, no dopewalk until 9 isn't exactly good advice for new players either. Having a escape, as shitty as it is, is better than none if you are starting out. Specially considering how people won't buy dust/sentries anyway and you won't have a safe lane.

It's good offensively is probally the worst way to justify it though.

Oh man, poor Shikyo, him transitioning didn't help him become a walking joke who still posts as if nothing happend whether it's in the LoL or Dota 2 forum it is /was the same.

Poor guy should really take a hint, his advice is bad but by now it hurts to see him oblivious like that.

On another note how would you guys build DP in lategame situations? I really don't have an idea other than mana boots -> bloodstone -> phase boots -> bkb and then randomly blademail, hex, heart or shiva.

Am I completely off? Should I get meka or pipe and what not, I don't get it even if I love playing the hero

Well, in not organized games, you should always take his Wind walk spell, but you shouldn't really max it

Meka or pipe on DP can be very good for the team, consider getting them if noone else on the team is getting them(don't get both, get 1 of them), DP is not really a lategame hero nor a 1st position carry, the playstyle around DP will normally revolve around early pushing and trying to end the game as DP falls off in lategame.

Meka and or pipe will also allow you to do said push, which is quite important, I wouldn't say BKB is that neccesary, even if you are CCed your spirits will still do tons of damage. Also Ghost sceptre can be quite good on her depending on the enemy lineup.

as for PL, 1 point in invis is enough, when you do it is situationally dependant.
