I think the priority of items makes blink dagger less common than you'd like. DS usually gets pipe or mek and then perhaps agha or shivas. At that point most games are over before the DS gets another 2k that he can spend(because he need buyback money).

Why though? Dark seer farms so well he's practically guaranteed his core + at least 1 luxury every game. Most builds I see are soul ring with a vanguard and pipe. And what's the point of building him so tanky anyways? You can cast ion shell and surge on team mates so you don't have to be the one in the middle to soak up damage.

Edit: I just asked ice^3 his thoughts on blink dagger dark seer and he said it was situational. I'm curious of other pro's opinions on this.

Wait, you are saying that you dont need to be in the middle of the teamfight, so he should buy a dagger, which will help him getting in the middle of the teamfight

I just realized that blink dagger is super good counter to naga ulti as long as there is no black hole. Blink is instant and you dont even have to spam it. There's almost always a safe spot to blink to and as long s you don't have blonk on cd when ult hits and it lasts more than 3 seconds you can always use it

So MUFC just won against Orange. Lycan pick by Hyhy. I think lycan is still viable but risky. The game was 71 minutes.

Blink to initiate and get your ult off perfectly. I figure you can just ion shell a team mate rather than build tank and self ion shell.
And I'm not saying building tanky items on dark seer is useless, just that vanguard -> blink might be better than vanguard -> pipe -> mek -> shivas -> heart etc.

You would probably only be able to blink in the direction you got slept in otherwise the turn rate would screw you over.

I just did. Instead of going mek/forcestaff, I went straight heart. He's easier to play that way imo. Also my pudge was raping.
And it wasnt in 40min but in 33. God he's super good now :DD

Rushing heart is never a good idea. Its like rushing a radiance... but doesn't accomplish anything after you get it. I would rather get a mek vitbooster/drums etc.

Rushed heart can actually be good on a few heroes, Krob included.

The point of Silencer is to stay alive. So you could go boring way of forcestaff/bkb or go heart.
