It will just make me miss Terrorblade.

This is pretty much true of any carry that can be stunned easily with relatively few exceptions. There are plenty of carries that are ok being the hero that takes that first round of spells rather than turning on BKB and avoiding them. E.g. Razor. Given that Huskar traded farming power and straight damage output for a survivability passive. I can see him falling under this category. To me, it seems like he is too vulnerable of being chain stunned once he is half HP and focused with whatever physical damage exists (IE a lifestealer or whatever). I think its worthy of considering it situational based on lineups. so if you have aghanims you should be able to dodge some/most stuns. if they are blowing all their on you, and DON'T kill you within that stun duration (due to inner vitality or whatever) you can mek up, ghost scepter and keep going. all while your team is doing their spells/attacks. unless they have physical/pure spells then evasion + inner vitality can easily keep you alive 4-5 seconds against a lifestealer. and if they don't stack you with stuns, you kill the big teamfight heroes and win the fight because the mag/chen/ect is unable to cast their spells.

They are seriously not comparable for damage output. Since then the recipe cost has gone down and the slow is no longer a unique attack modifier, and it can now build into something other than s+Y. Not getting into the sange vs armlet debate, just saying sange has changed since it was called the most useless item in dota. Well, yes, but the main point was that it was never a good damage item, and its damage hasn't really changed. The fact even Str carries that go SnY go for it mainly for the Yasha, and ussually get the Yasha first, shows it still isn't really a great item by itself. I don't think anyone hardly ever goes for a Sange specifically. I can sort of see BKB being "less useful", since magic damage is less meaningfull, but not being disabled at low health is still key for Huskar. Depending on the oponents team it should definatelly be core. But I don't understand the logic behind Armlet being worse. If anything, now that you get atk speed instead of damage, high damage items are even more effective than before. because you aren't going to be dealing most of your damage with DAMAGE. its going to be burning spears, ultimates. you aren't really going to be building crit or more attack speed for the most part. so armlets main purpose is to absorb damage, and when you want to absorb damage, there are better items. armlet is easily the best item in the game for any str hero. It gives extra health, gives great raw damage, gives attackspeed, gives armor. I don't see why you wouldn't get it.
I'm convinced you live longer with ghost scepter over armlet. You literally can't die during the 4 secs of ghost form and that's 4 more seconds of chucking op as fuck burning spears at 200IAS. If you go aghs after its like 2 more ults probably.

razor puts out a lot of his damage via his skills and can avoid a lot of damage by kiting around. huskar generally leaps into the middle of a teamfight and autoattacks until things die. i think huskar is more comparable to ta than razor
also xizor, have you actually tried aghs? because it's not very strong in teamfights, nor is it a strong item in general have you tried dodging stuns with it? it's the same as dodging stuns on storm except it has a cd, so it's not exactly something you can count on and how exactly are you going to kill "the big teamfight heroes" if they position themselves properly?

yeah i've tried aghs, it makes new huskar impossible to deal with, unless someone is dumb enough to go aghs after building pure damage items
"Positioned properly" so that they can't be reached by huskar would imply that they are over 950 units from the nearest ally. or around 2k units out of the fight. i can deal with them being that far out, and biding my time for them to try to approach closer.

anyways this is a waste of time. i'll challenge you to a 1v1 grudgematch since you have no idea what you're talking about

also including the last jump which may or may not even be needed, thats only 20 seconds. Are you somehow having every teamfight last less than 16 seconds?
I'm more interested in how you are saying that new huskar somehow does more damage with straight damage than his spells, and aghs ghost scepter huskar somehow isn't good at avoiding trouble. Huskar does 140 per burning spear and 65% current hp with his ultimate, which comes off cooldown every 4 seconds with aghs. fighting a 1000 enemy (somehow) he does 650+(140+Damage)#ofattacks. in order for his damage to overcome that 140 from burning spears at level 16 he needs 80 damage, which is relatively easy to get, but then the difference of (Total damage - 140)#numberofattacks has to be > 650 so for having 120ish bonus damage at level 16 (armlet + phase + demon edge) he has to attack 17 times. but by the time he attack 17 times, his burning spears and ulti would have killed the target 14 attacks ago. if we ramp this up to attacking a target with 10000 hp, then his ulti does 6500 damage, and you'd need 170 attacks, which again takes too long. on enemies of less than 500 hp you still lose out to his spell damage. there is no value of an opponents HP in which damage will outscale his abiltiy damage. within a reasonable amount of damage (a divine huskar would outdeal his abilities for instance, if you rushed divine instead of ghost scepter aghs.

thats not what a grudgematch is about tho u hafta accept or u aint no man

it's a 1v1 to prove that you have no idea what you're talking about and you're awful at dota i'll play up to 10 games, if you can win 2 of them i'll concede that i was wrong and awful at dota
well when you said "re applies inner vitality" i assume you meant that it came off cooldown and you used it again rofl
edit: also if i lose i'll give you your choice of 10 non-mythical/legendary/immortal/taunt items from my inventory

It's like betting, only if you lose you don't lose anything except street cred and your sig for a week, but if you win you get 10 rares and his sig for a month.
Set up a date and a time, I will cast and provide "expert" insight. This community needs this grudge match. Ain't you a man?
