Doesn't seem bad though. i don't see what he needs more than like phase mek ghost scepter aghs. those 4 items cover pretty much all the bases imo. at least at first glance. need to test it. | ||

So the build would be: Bottle -> Boots -> Treads -> Mekansm -> Ghost Scepter -> Aghs | ||

also worth considering as an item would be heavens halberd for more of a ganky style huskarr. sange will probably proc pretty quick with the attack speed. sange provides a pretty cost effective amount of hp/damage to husk and then halberd with its evasion helps him survive greatly, and then the disarm would pretty much accomplish something similar to ghost scepter in that it makes him invulnerable, to a single enemy instead of the group, so if you were to jump on a critical hero and just wail on them, they have to either blow big cooldowns to keep you off, or rely on their team since they can't fight back in any other way. this sort of build would scream, FOCUS ME. and give the enemy little recourse to actually do so. Its worth considering as an item as well. | ||

It's only potentially useful early against someone with a large physical damage spell that might kill you from low-ish health but is also easily dodge-able (e.g. Jugg ulti). | ||

I'd throw out armlet all together it doesn't seem really conducive to the hero as much anymore. and burning spear maybe? overrides sange but you get 2 attacks a second you can not use burning spear except during the duration of sange and still deal massive damage. consider the maim as a mid game use for the item where as the game goes on the other stats and abilities are more important and the maim is more of a when you need it sort of thing. EDIT: read yango. it USED to be an orb right? i'm not crazy? lol T_T i get so much confused that has changed since slark patch. | ||

Mek would top you off once you pop it but if the fight continues you have no real way to stay in it until its off cd (whereas with armlet you can run away and toggle a bit). my understanding is you would jump in with mek attack and mek when you need it then when you need to retreat ghost scepter and orb walk while you heal from inner vitality. could also with aghs just jump to somone on the outside of the fight and do the same thing | ||

I can picture a random nub reading his guide, buying Ghost Scepter and having no idea wtf is going on. Plus the flames from his teammates for the random items. | ||

I can picture a random nub reading his guide, buying Ghost Scepter and having no idea wtf is going on. Plus the flames from his teammates for the random items. i don't think i've ever seen anyone flame for buying a mek, and using it. even seen an antimage not get yelled at for mek buying. | ||

Even people with a lot of experience on the game wouldn't really know how that works and a steam guide isn't exactly in depth. People from the lower levels of play would probally have far better sucess with something more standard like Armlet -> Aghs/Damage. It's better to keep it simple, more mechanically demanding builds like Blink WR, Blink Meepo, etc. are better left to people that don't really need a guide, even if they are as good or even better. You can just list them as a situational item, if that. if you aren't going for ghost scepter then i think urn -> medallion -> aghs is gonna be better for you than armlet ever will. | ||
