IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

If verifying doesn't help, try reinstaling.

I had this happen and it turned out that updating my graphics drivers (raedon 6800) fixed it. Otherwise try starting with -novid.

Hey guys - quick question on item build suggestion. Say there is the following line up of heroes:
LD Nightstalker Windrunner kotl Undying
vs
QoP Luna Leshrac SK BH

On LD, I built Radiance, AC, and Vlads. What should my next item be? Butterfly for dodge (self, bear?)? MKB to hit the eventual butterfly that will be built on luna? double basher for double basher? What would you guys build? I always struggle to figure out whats the best item after AC on LD.

After AC if you want more damage on bear you either go MKB or Crit.

get a cloak always after radiance on your main bear, its really cost efficient. If needed dip into a Ghost sceptre for your main bear aswell. If no additonal survivability is needed, MKB.

i would probable get manta style for yourself or basher for the bear. Then the other.

I'd go maelstrom on bear. There is also a pretty serious consideration for BKB on yourself, but I don't know if it is coming to that or not.

I wouldn't be in too big a rush to get MKB on bear until you are sure luna is real close to that butterfly.

Yeah, already had a cloak. Luna glaives were very...powerful. Ghost scepter could have been good, but the amount of nukes from QoP and whatnot was pretty devestating (and ...well undying never built that pipe).

LD traditionally doesn't get BKB, but it might have been a good idea this game. the amount of nukes was really devestating. But maestrom would have been really nice against manta on luna.

Manta style seems / feels awkward. Why is it good on LD (particularly considering that luna glaives would kill them pretty quickly)?

Vlad's is also a consideration if no one else is getting one for you (there should be, but sometimes pubs don't).

Basher is a possibility, though lower priority than MKB/Crit.

But generally after Radi+AC, you're getting the little survivability stuff for your main bear.

If you don't need MKB soon, then get crit.

faster, you hit harder, you can dodge spells, remove track, useful against luna ult. At that point of the game, if you're behind your bear tend to fall faster than you, so manta is very nice to move some of the items to your hero ~~
and what tapicker said

Manta is too costly for the stuff it gives you compared to ghost sceptre,cloak, hell even a BKB.
