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.

Maxing pact lets you put the fear of the slark into the enemy and go farm the jungle after 6 and then come out get a kill and go back to farming. If you want Wodota-ness, get armlet force staff shadow blade and just enjoy,


Personally I like this. 1 in each skill at level 3 then max pact to jungle (Pounce if your lane is set to make kills) and pop up somewhere for a kill here and there, a stack or two from your support should help as well.

Of course its all eventually dependent on your lane, like if there are a ton of stuns or annoying teammates who just force you on the off-lane and stuff like that.

Thoughts on Orchid Slark? I always thought it would be good for him provides good mana regen, damage and increases his solo ganking power.

He doesn't need that much mana regen. It doesn't give him any defensive tools either which is quite important. The only time that Slark uses a lot of mana is if you use his ulti incorrectly.

seems harder to use because he isn't sneaky enough. i suppose if you are maxing out on smoke then it'd be good but it just seems far less useful on him than say Atos or Euls if you wanted to commit money into your mana pool.

Drum+Tread switching or a Necrobook are usually much better investments if you want to improve your mana pool. Especially Necro allows for some cute shit since you always know where wards are anyway.

Edit: Orchid is kind of fun if you almost entirely aim to split push 24/7. Wins 1n1s and you are always full health/mana.

drums isn't spending money into your mana pool though. its just getting good items. same with necrobook. if your buying orchid your doing it for the mana on slark since the silence isn't that useful because you make yourself known before you get close to them. Atos and euls are both far better for that purpose and much cheaper than orchid.

So, my computer crashed and temporally Im going to have 1 or 2 months an old computer.

I started playing Dota with Dota2 and I want to play Dota1 this months because I love the game and I want to continue playing. In what server do you recommend me to play Dota1 this months until I come back to dota2?

What kind of PC you have there? Are you sure you cannot play dota 2 on low res & options? Shouldn't require that much from a PC.

I've heard that good thing about source engine games (Valve games) is that they require processor the most. So even with a shit gfx card, as long as you have decent processor, you are fine.

So I just found out that you can sell dota 2 invites on the community marketplace. Their current going price is $0.03 and there are 28390 listed. I think I figured out where smurfs/massive amounts of new players are coming from.

Also, Burning got 900 ck on his PL in a similar scenario
