How do you guys build OD, treads, drums , forcestaff and that new item rods of atmos look cool but they make him fairly squishy, do you guys get some additional survivability before you go scyte?

Conventional way to build OD is Treads, Mekansm, Force Staff, before working on Sheepstick and other lategame items. Janggo is fine if someone else on your team is getting Mek, but Mek is ideal because OD lacks a good source of HP regen while having great mana regen, so Mek is well suited to him. It also buffers your survivability comfortably. Situational items to consider are Ghost Scepter (great when dealing with other autoattack carries, as you can still manual-cast Arcane Orb while Ghost Sceptered), Blink Dagger, Shiva's, BKB, Heart.

Orchid is a good item for cc but OD's damage comes from an increased mana pool. However it all depends on the situation in game like always.

About OD items:
Shivas also fits him quite well, I personally enjoyed some success with it. Gives him an aoe-attack he lacks, useful against pushes. Orchid is basically one of the very few items that boosts intelligence and autoattack, so surely a good choice.

In case of money-trouble, euls is something to be considered. Or, since OD doesnt need manaregen (once his manapool is a little above 1000, probably before lvl 10), you might also buy midas. Attack-speed = yesyes for OD.
If you have 1000+ mana, be sure to buy the pure mana-regen components (sobi mask, void stone) of items last, since they give you absolutely no additional benefit on their own.

Result of the bug:


Why in the world would you post game breaking bugs on a public forum? What do you have to gain from it? It just increases the change of people abusing it in more games. This is not dev.dota2.


You know...so there's more public awareness of it and it gets fixed...?

Orchid spends a big component on mana regen, and the active is most useful during midgame solo-killing scenarios. For a late-game carry like OD that wants his item actives to have defensive utility in keping him alive (which Mek, Force Staff, and Sheepstick all do), it's not ideal.

I honestly would never really consider Eul's on OD. OD isn't short of "money-trouble" options, between Janggo, Ghost Scepter, and Null Talismans.
