For some reason, I almost always avoid this item on heroes where it's usually core/recommended. I seem to always argue with myself that Arcanes/Treads or even Tranqs (not as much anymore after the recent nerf) would be better. Anyone have the same issue? | ||

A lot of times you want phase boots on gankers (e.g. bounty hunter, also synergizes with jinada) for extra chasing power, sometimes it's good mids that can rely on bottle for mana since it not only allows you to chase people better but also gives you better rune control (death prophet, tiny). Some heroes need it just so that their last hitting isn't absolute shit (QW invoker). Hard to discuss when you don't give specific examples. There are definitely heroes that have phase boots recommended in their build that don't need it, but phase boots are definitely not a bad item. | ||

If phase boots is picked up for the damage output, I don't see why Treads wouldn't be better. That's generally +8 along with the +30 attack speed, and the stat gain too (HP/armor and more attackspeed/mana). For heroes like DP, Lesh, etc., why not just get Arcanes to allow spell spam, help team too. | ||

Laning isn't going to allow you to utilize attack speed during harass (you're not both going to be in range to constantly autoattack, it's going to be individual attacks). Attack speed helps a little with last hitting / denying if you're not used to the animation speed, but generally more straight up damage is better if you're decent at last hitting. Arcanes isn't BAD on DP but I think phase provides more laning utility and synergizes incredibly well with the drums/euls build if you choose to do that. A fast void stone + your bottle should really solve your mana issues as DP, not worth it to sacrifice the speed for rune control to get arcanes. Lesh should probably get arcanes until he no longer needs the mana regen (e.g. he turns arcanes into bloodstone then gets phase / BoT to be able to chase people with edict / ult). | ||

Phase Boots are almost always picked for the movement speed on positioning-dependent heroes, though. This is actually the aspect that's more relevant for BH rather than the damage output--he's 100% movespeed reliant for his in-fight mobility after he reveals himself, so it's absolutely critical that he has 522 MS as early as possible for easy engaging/disengaging. While later items will eventually get you there anyway, Phase lets you have it early. BH needs 41% MS to cap movement speed with upgraded Boots--Track gives 20% and Drums gives 5%/15% when activated--Phase lets you cap early without getting an additional Movement Speed item. You'll eventually hit the cap with Yasha/Manta, but being able to have 522 MS with just Drums is very useful, especially if you have to get BKB before Yasha because of the way the game is going. The typical Phase Boots heroes like BH, Jugger, Naix, sometimes Razor or TA, etc. are heroes that are heavily dependent on their in-fight positioning to maximize their effectiveness--but don't have natural movement skills, and therefore Phase Boots are important to give them the necessary movement speed to properly position/move around in fights. The situations where Treads are the right choice on these heroes are typically scenarios where your teammates have sufficient disabling or movement enhancing ability to make the Phase Boots movement speed unnecessary. | ||
