You can attack with GS if you have orbs and you manually cast them, so you are virtually immune to magic with berserkers blood and immune to physical hits.

You can shift queue your attacks I believe, so you don't need to orb walk.

You have up to 98% magic resist.~ 2% magic damage taken being incresed is not a big deal.

You can probally still go the HotD route if you don't do the Ghost Scepter gimmick.

Max blood if you're laning against something with high nuke kill potential like Sven CM otherwise Spear is a lot better for trading and stuff.

That's why you get urn.

Is spears worth maxing first now? Since they may actually be used, they seem like they could be very deadly in lane - since you don't get damage from passive anymore, is it worth it to max them so you can try to zone out the enemy rather than try to fight for last hits with average last hitting power?

Is it still worth getting lifesteal early on? Or is ghost/halberd/damage higher priority now?

I need to learn to type faster and/or say less.
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

The thing with going Blood over Spears is that you're tanky at low hp with lots of attack speed but there's no real health pool you wanna be at ( where formerly you'd have a ton of attack damage for csing/etc.) that gives you better laning presence than better spears.

I'm 9/3 right now as Huskar going this build and I'm just completely gung-ho.

Interesting.

Spears were always good

Now they might just be better in the early game compared to blood

Spears faces competition with lifesteal. On another hero they could have been quite powerful, but huskar works really well with lifesteal. Hence it was hard to justify losing +6 stats and delaying blood/heal for the sake of some laning power.

Until now, ofc, where they don't face competition while ghost sceptred, and they have been buffed.

I think maxing spars now is to compensate for the lack of power he gets from his E currently. They upped the speed by 8 and gave spears a justification.

140 damage per spear is.. Pretty strong

People have always underestimated burning spears, I used them at high hp even with mask of death to kill off supports quickly.
People don't realize inner vitality is a horrible horrible spell until you have a decent strength base.

Inner vitality:
2/4/6/8 base regen
+5% from main attribute each level
15% from main attribute each level if under 40%
16 seconds.

So each strength provides 19 hp. Each level of inner vitality will give .05 x 16 = .8 hp per strength.
At level 6, huskar has a whopping 33 strength, at level 9 40.
So at level 9, each point of inner vitality will provide .8 x 40 = 32 hp of regen from stats, and 2 x 16 = 32 hp regen from stats.
Wow, a 64 hp heal for each level. Now if you're low hp, it goes up to 32 x 3 + 32 = 128 per level, which is ok, but you have to stay under 40% for the full 96 extra heal, and it (was) dangerous to be that low.
At level 1, your have 21 base strength, so 25 x .8 = 20 hp heal from stats and 2 x 16 = 32 from base.

But compare that to tranquil boots:
250 hp heal. That's better than level 4 heal uninjured, about the same as level 2 heal if you're below 40%. +3 hp per second, so in the 20 second heal, that's another 60 hp. You can't cast it as often, but your inner vit costs more than half your mana.
Compare that to a tango: your level 1 heal is equal to 1/2 a tango. Wouldn't you skip a 1/2 mana pool level 1 skill if you could skip it with a 15 gold item per use?

Compare that to warlock/omniknight heal: 360/405 hp at level 4 compared to 256 from unbooster inner vitality.
Skilling inner vitality early means you choosing a vastly inferior skill at early game compared to other heroes over burning spears, and it also happens to be covered by cheap items?
