You don't. At least you can't 1v2 it. Probably will need an Omniknight or Dazzle with you. Even then it's still tough with heroes currently in dota 2 pool.

And Bane is one of the best lane control hero anyway. There used to be a very popular strat with Bane solo mid and roaming Potm. The opposing solo mid can't even touch the creep because he will just get nightmared and hit with 5 second arrow out of nowhere.

well both of those 2 has really low mana pool so if you just play safe defensively and deny hard core so they can farm to mana boots you should be fine... Bane taking sleep instead of stat often have 0 mana to spam their skill so it shouldnt be too much of a problem. Mid game on just avoid going alone i guess... its a waste having 2 heroes skill set just for 1 kill so you should always win teamfight if you have enough disable.

Yeah i agree. I find Bane often gives you a very misleading sense of advantage. You feel like you are doing well with bane on your team and have the advantage over the opposing team , and suddenly during teamfight , you still lost easily because bane is a non factor in teamfight most of the times. I guess that's why he is not used anymore.

don't get nightmared out in the open, and if you do your lanemate has to take the debuff asap
it's not that strong of a lane once you learn how to position yourself
pretty much any kind of strong stun/slow + pudge is hard to deal with, but bane has short range on everything and has mana problems early on

val's guide is pretty outdated

Btw, you can't attack a teamate in order to remove the sleep from him and put it onto yourself, iirc, in dota2.
Is this a bug or an intended change?

I don't see why they would change it... that was a pretty important part of the spell.

This is not a change - this is how it worked in Dota 1. Anyone attacking the nightmare'd unit, even an ally, takes it.

Yeah, I know, you didn't comprehend my post. It's not working like that in dota2. You can't attack your teamate.
The game doesn't let you.

icefrog wouldnt agree :

• Does not stack with Cranium Basher.

• Does not function with other Cranium Bashers, Abyssal Blades, Troll Warlord's Bash, Slithereen Guard's Bash, Faceless Void's Time Lock or Spiritbreaker's Greater Bash

just as we are all still calming down our nerves on the epic finale of The Defense, more excitement heads our way as Fnatic PLAY RaidCall Dota 2 Cup begins today.

If you have missed out on the announcement of the Fnatic Dota 2 Cup a week ago, this tournament will be a two days affair beginning on the 5th of March and rounding up on the 6th. The showdown will begin at 18:00 CET today, just a short 15 minutes after the bracket announcement.

Schedule:

March 5th

Round of 64: 18:00 CET
Round of 32: 19:15 CET
Round of 16: 20:30 CET
Round of 8: 21:45 CET

March 6th

Semi-Finals: 17:00 CET
Grand Finals: 21:00 CET

As for the format, it will be a best-of-one single elimination tournament, up until the semi-finals and Grand Final, where it will be switched to a best-of-three format. In addition to the champion team being able to walk away with the $500 prize, the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the whole tournament will receive a SLAPPA Fnatic M.A.S.K. Backpack worth 140 Euros.

Our very own TobiWanKenobi will be casting this event, so make sure you tune in here for more "BLACKHOLE!".

JoinDOTA will be keeping a close eye on this tournament up till the round of 16 in which the matchtickers for the tournament will be activated for your Cheese crave. More information on the bracket and teams participating will be updated here as soon as it is made available.

http://www.playdota.com/guides/vals-pretty-guide-to-every-hero

Best I've found. Probably not optimal but none of those are bad.

This is what I use right now then I just adjust based on current meta and things I find while playing

dont buy too much into it though... some of those build are not used for noobs or very very situational...

me personally prefer quelling blade on PL bc its like a mini battle fury which help u get rad much much easier. Also huskar has so many build and should always be justified depend on your lane and your team.

It's meant as a reference, but how's PL got anything to do with DotA2 and how is hood + Armlet not a Huskar build you'd want to go pretty much always?

hmmm not sure about hood on huskar... most of the time people prefer lifesteal husk rather than hood fire :-/

With only 1 lv in spear to 'keep your HP low', your DPS always go insane to finish off multiple target... after armlet either rush BKB or buriza depend on how much disable the enemy team have.

this is what i stole from sing_sing stream:

Show nested quote +
skill:
1 W (spear)
2 E
3 E

after that just E and stat, ulti get normal.

item:
2x gannet of str
tango+potion
2xbranches

get boot first or mask of death (morbid?) depend on how much disable they have on their team.

once got life steal, you can either lane or jungle and proceed to get MoM (yeah MOM ~_~)
MoM->phase boot (wtf?)-> armlet(15->18 mins) -> buriza(god-like) -> 2nd buriza (2 lanes mega) -> GG :-/

once you cant take any more stat and have to take 1 level of Q, use that Q lv 1 to rosh.


really? I'm quite sure that he didn't add W at all when he did jungle huskar, or maybe it was a different game.

actually 1 lv W is very useful in life steal build since you want to keep your HP bar constantly around 40-50% to get the extra DPS. Early lane control is huge too, but mostly its used to quickly reduced your HP to 50% after the life steal farming.

i remember he was mumbling: 'ah i took quite some HP there'-> proceed to turn on W -> 40% HP -> turn off.

early w is just for lane control
you don't want your hp at 40~50% unless you enjoy dying a lot

there's not much to discuss about that item build; it's pretty obvious he was just screwing around in a random pub game
