After reading the bkb nerf, I find myself wondering if BKB won't move to an even more charge-based system (like janggo). Where you can buy the recipe again to refund some charges (obviously 1300g to re-max the charges is OP so there would be some kind of limits here). Eventually it would go all the way down to 0 though where activating would be for 0 seconds (essentially just a self-purge) and I think the CD if it follows the current pattern would be 35 seconds. Maybe have the recipe cost 1K gold, start at 5 charges and every recipe u buy is worth 2 charges max 10 or something.

Okay that really doesn't sound like the direction IF is going with BKB but it feels better (to me) than "can't sell".

huehue i am planning on writing a 'Battle PA' guide, so hold on this PA discussion until then!!!

[image loading]

while 1 or 2 from the 3 losses were caused by stupid stuff.

I have a completely different understanding of the hero after doing this build on her, why would you want to go farmfest with the hero who can ditch out 200+ damage at Lvl6 and can snowball into a 800dmg dps machine at 18mins with only a Basher as her main damage source.

The definitive Battle PA:
[image loading]
Notice that sickening CS (basically you only farm during laning phase) in a 25mins game.

Guide Coming Soon TM!

The point of poor mans shield,phase,drums,magic wand PA is to fight.Urn is kinda meh as usually a support or mid gets it,drums is just too good on her.

Urn is really good on PA.

It's basically the most practical form of regen for a hero that expects to fight in the 6-12 minute time frame. Lifesteal and plain regen are both cost-inefficient as combat stats, while Urn is barely paying anything for the active and the heal also doubles as a combat skill.

The secret is exactly with that urn, otherwise I wouldn't bother with posting that huehue.

PMS/Drum on the other hand, believe it or not, are merely delaying your big damage item or that BKB. Yango talked about the drum so i am not gonna repeat again; PMS is just delaying your phase/urn, if you needed a shield during laning phase then the chances is you are not farming well with or without it, if you said you need it for the team fight then its cost-effectiveness drops too quick and you die or kill very quickly with or without it anyway.

PA is a hero who is all about how and when to engaging in any fight. Early game Blink is for sure kill (there is no turning back after you blinked while Mid game blink can be used as an initiation.

I don't think urn is that great,it's really really easy to build up on a support(and does more for them than you) so if you really want it you can get it that way.Drums is just too good on her idk,build both would be pretty awkward and you get slot starved insanely quickly.
poor mans->stick phase->wand drums-> basher(if there isn't too much need for a bkb), bkb rush is the standard with good reason now.Only thing I'm not sure about is if vlads or hotd is better,i kinda think vlads is better for pubs

Still looking for a solution tbh, the best way is just simply two of you walk together 24/7 or you can use an earlier Vlad but the thing is you can probably working through your big item quicker without spending on that urn but urn is just too damn good. Ganking gives you charges, use the charges for farming jungle for awhile when needed and then you are ready to team fight again.

You're overrating Drums on her. Attack speed and mana are both pretty low-value stats on her. It's an overall smooth item to buy on PA because the buildup through a Bracer is nice, but it's not an item that's "too good" for her. In a game where you have a really smooth early game, Urn->Basher or similar will take advantage of the fact that you are ahead much better. Drums are better while playing from behind (more emphasis on being able to stay alive and keep using abilities when you don't have the level/item advantage to straight up kill people), and what you do in an even game is up to playstyle.

Realistically that should never happen unless you're really behind (in which case Urn might not be a good choice for you anyway) or the enemy mid got completely crushed. Your mid has to go through Bottle to get to Urn, and freefarm safe lane should naturally get more CS than mid.

For the drum part, the poster named yango explained it better lol

The function of the urn would be pretty meh if it merely worked like what you said, the STR components in Urn is huge on PA. Yup I also use a beefy skill build for the Battle PA xD

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=128824668
With this skill build you have 1480hp at Lvl13 with Drum+Urn (iirc).

PA got stifling dagger that allows you to safely farm from afar so stout aint really gonna give any benefit unless you are on a safelane and supporter need to pull creep.

people wont suspect the pa going to be the aggresor at lvl 6 with phase and rob or urn

Why do you guys think Vlads is better for a pub? If you have another melee or two - I can see the other side of the coin. Otherwise I would still stick with HotD 90-95% of the time.

You can stack ancients yourself properly every time, and have a proper buildup later in the game if it drags on which pubs tend to. I'd much rather hound one of the supports to buy a Vlad later on and keep my HotD/Satanic.

The main problem is that Medallion doesn't solve the regen problem that Urn does. You can pair it with another regen item (Tranquil Boots being the most suitable), but that still doesn't match the combat effectiveness of Urn because Urn is basically giving you regen without actually making you pay anything for it--the only requirement being that you get kills.

Medallion is good if there are supporter who can rush mek or have healing skills

Vlads is for pushing (+5 armor and bonus dmg aura)

You can replace vlads with HoTD if there are heroes picking up or just pick up later if the games goes way too late lol
