It's one of those items that is borderline OP if it's used in pro matches but in your standard pub, it's probably wasted gold. If the players in the game aren't good enough to react to the increased vision and make use of the control, you're better off just getting AC or something that will allow you to do more damage and help the team more directly. I mean pubs get ganked or take terrible initiations with full ward vision etc., so I can see why some would say it's not good. The money is probably better spent on something else in low/mid skill pub games, but if you are a skilled player with a real team, it's very nice situational item. | ||

Honestly, NS's items have a lot of variation. Other than the majority of games requiring BKB at some point, I wouldn't say there's anything that you absolutely have to buy on him. It all comes down to how the game develops and your understanding of what situations require which items. | ||

What it doesn't provide is right click damage, or in-fight damage of any kind. If you're snowballing, why slow down by throwing money at an item that doesn't directly help kill people. | ||

The aghs/gem combo can work to provide situational awareness as well as spot shadow blades and other invis engagements. What it doesn't provide is right click damage, or in-fight damage of any kind. If you're snowballing, why slow down by throwing money at an item that doesn't directly help kill people. Because it cements your map dominance and control completely, the enemies can't hide from you, and will almost never have vision | ||

That obviously doesn't/can't happen every game, but again, all situational. | ||

edit: I think I may have misread and people are talking about rushing agh? If so then don't really agree with that at all | ||

The odds isnt that good on Zenith either, 6.4 for 4 isnt worth taking considering the risk is way higher than that. I might have to sit this out actually. | ||

They do have the talents but they are just not taking the game seriously enough and with such unstable ban pick style, it is quite hard to measure their level.

Main reason I get it is because I'm always out of mana on him and the HP is a nice buffer so you can get out of fights to heal up fast. Better to go basher first or something? Necrobook. | ||
