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.

where can i find item and skill builds for heroes?

You should just ask here in my opinion. There's this:
http://www.playdota.com/guides/vals-pretty-guide-to-every-hero

But it's outdated and suboptimal. It even says that they're just general builds that work in most situations, but usually aren't the best.

I immediately played Ogre Magi when I read his changelog.


-Added Aghamin's Scepter
Gives his other head the ability to cast a more primitive version of Fireblast. It has a constant (not modified by ultimate/level) 275 damage, 1.5 second stun, 20 cooldown, 400 manacost. It can trigger multicast. This is an independent 5th skill added to his ability card.


Consecutive 3x fireblasts are the best things ever.

I can't wait until they add him to dota 2. My fav hero by far to play in pubs.

The 5's guide to every hero here on TL is a pretty decent thread for telling you the bare minimum basics of what to do, especially skill builds if you have absolutely no idea what you're doing. However, item builds are completely dependent on the situation. If you're entirely new to DotA as a whole, I recommend watching:



to get an idea of what items do.

tbh tinker is almost as hard as invoker... you have to control a lot of information to judge and carry out your action accurately. Not counting to farm up the BoT is another story if u cant get free kills...

Haha ya I've seen the video, thats one of the reasons I thought it would be really fun lol

Also just played a game where the other team basically picked 5 carries, and our prophet just yelled KILL THEM B4 20 MINS... Its actually the first game I've ever seen the team coordinated enough to get mega creeps by 20 mins. Was some pretty good prophet play.

I love the change to Puck's phase shift in 6.74

Getting rid of autocast relieves him from all the funky business of what should be auto-dodged and what shouldn't, especially in the transition between dota 1 ->dota 2. It just makes the skill more clear cut and emphasize reflexes instead.

Making it 3.25 seconds on level 4 is also very welcome, making that dagger 100 % fool proof.

And finally buffing his early laning by removing the manacost is nice too.

I hope this makes it to dota 2 soon

So the Furion said kill them before 20 mins and got a midas seems kinda funny.

Dayum, now I want to go play Tinker. I remember I used to skill March of the Machines way early and just push, push, push forever. I didn't even care about the hero kills, I just wanted to ruin buildings. This looks quite a bit above my level, but that's what is going to make it fun learning. At least, that's what I think now.

Also, still don't dare trying invoker

yeah i only played invoker once i got into dota 2 like 2 weeks ago. start off with QW and emp tornado cold snap and ghost walk

then slowly expand to E and get deafening blast

then further into forge spirit alacrity ice wall

only thing is whether (if you play pub mmr) ppl will let you learn invoker or not :s
