SB is pretty sick. I've been picking him lately and winning most of my matches. Items in order are Treads/Urn/Drums. I then go for Aghs or Bkb. As for the skill build, I max first charge,bash and aura after.
Is aura strong?
I think maxing bash and aura with 1 point in charge is the way to go, personally. You get a guaranteed bash proc after charge and ultimate, so you're improving both the skills at the same time. I don't think maxing the charge is useful at all, because the stun doesn't do much, cause you auto-bash anyway, and the improved movement speed form it isn't really worth it, I don't think. And the aura is just so sick... I think it's totally his best spell. It's a permanent drum charge and buffs your bash damage. The item build is perfect, I do the same all the time. :D

Don't max aura first. That's a waste. Rather max Charge and Bash first. The damage you gain from aura isn't that high. First point in aura is really good but aside from that rather max it out later.

(sorry if it's the wrong thread)
Cards are a collectible item that can be stamped into the international 2013 compendium. You can get some rewards etc for doing so.
If you have a bunch of spares and no compendium of your own you can trade them for items since lots of people are still looking to complete their own sets.

Playercards? They are for compendium. Item that is solely for The International and you can "stamp" those cards on it.

Dota is about more than simply 'more damage'.

It's not the damage. The movement speed i super important, tho. It allows your teammates to catch up to heroes they wouldn't otherwise. What does a level 4 charge give you that you don't have from a level 1 charge? You're running at them a bit faster (750 instead of 600), which I don't see as super useful, because even 600 is already really fast. And you get a longer stun. (2.4 instead of 1.6) You already get a good duration stun from the autobash, I don't think it's worth it at all. Aura scales really well from 1 to 4: 6% movement speed on level 1 is barely noticeable, but 18% on level 4 is really really good.

Ty for the fast reply. One more thing, is there a way to have enemy heroes' mana bar visible - like health bar? That's been really bothering me

Question about the group stage of ti3.
If i were to "farm" drops, how can i do that in group stages? I mean i could log into dota 2 client and watch one of the games, but i cannot be watching 2 games at the same time can I? The only other way i could think of was to watch on twitch with a linked account on a seperate game, but that's only 2 concurrent games...
Anyone with a better idea? tbh i think it's pretty futile to "farm" drops. there will be thousands among thousands of people watching, and there are like 15-20 drops per game.
So.....i know the chances are very low....but still....anyone can enlighten me?

Nope. You can only check it manually, clicking on enemy hero.

Lol you don't have to be a condescending dick.
Leveling up aura gives 4% more MS per point. It goes from 6->18 in 4 points. Compared to bash which goes from 10% - 40% damage and 1 -> 1.6 stun. Charge goes from 600 -> 750 ms and 1.2-> 2.4.
Bash seems like an obvious choice to max out first so it's about level 1 aura to level 1 charge. This depends purely on your role in the team. If you playing some kind of offlane SB who is predominately not with the team the Aura will be largely wasted where as the charge ms/stun is pretty important to make it to your target in time. If playing a more central role which is with the team it makes more sense to have aura leveled out.
I thought I specified offlane SB but seems I did not.

Sorry, I did not post that with the intent of sounding condescending. I simply thought it would be an efficient way of getting my point across.

Firebolt, ther'es next to no situation where you should be maxing aura over Bash or Charge.
You can ask Yango if you think its too much for us plebs to understand.

If you are off laneing spirit breaker, you will still be ganking and the aura helps other team mates close that gap when you stun. The charge does not have a huge increase in the stun lenght unless you max it and the aura provides you with a flat speed boost that is present all the time.
To each their own, but there are real merits to having a faster SB, even when off laning.

I like maxing charge because it doubles the stun duration and you run 33% faster.
|
i go 1/1/3 maxing bash first since i want to kill the target as fast as I can. I want at least 1 kill per gank
