what's the "standard" build for spectre? (sTurtle is playing her right now)

usually i get boots into vanguard into treads, followed by radiance or diffusal (depends on my farm rate). thing is, is getting that damage item or hp item more important?

some gg granches, consumables

rush roh then vanguard

get (phase) boots, magic stick/wand somewhere in between, radiance then Manta/Heart(depends on the game, Heart more likely) Diffusal can be purchased if you need it but not likely unless the team calls for it, then can just go butterfly or whatever the hell you want really.

Sometimes you can just radiance rush, but if you are really doing so well, then something is either going wrong on the other lanes or your team is just dominating really hard.

Don't underestimate a Spectre with Phase and Vanguard, she will be very hard to bring down and has excellent chasing power.

then do you usually get vanguard? because you already have PMS, so you can just get that roh and vit booster, get radiance and get heart afterwards, right?

Tranquil Boots + Vit Booster + PMS is a reasonable alternative to Vanguard.

tranquil + vit + shield > radi, u don't need pms unless you're up against a lot of autoattack harass

alternately roh > boots + vanguard > radi, phase or treads are both okay it's mostly down to preference (but phases are better cus they make u run faster yo)

don't go diffusal it's not a very strong build

regardless of build always farm nonstop until your radi (ulti for kills or to help your team out, but mostly for kills)

Given Bulba's tendency to flame his teammates in game, wouldn't be surprised if he was the one blasting bdiz off the team.

Also there is no word, no rumors, of MLG having Dota2, and since its in Anaheim, you can probably be a shiny penny that Riot talked. Not to mention that like 250 of the peak 340k concurrents that IPL4 had was from LoL.

As much as we wish its dota2, Its almost 100% not going to be Dota2, at Anaheim, the game isn't even released yet so don't count your chickens.


arent bulba and bdiz brothers?


Like, literal brothers? Not as far as I know o.o if you mean like, bros, well Bulba and Demon are bros and they flame the shit out of each other all the time jokingly



Wait, bdiz is a pro dota player now? I played WoW with that guy, he was very mediocre at it and had a huge mouth, talked more shit than anyone I knew. Last I heard of him he was playing HoN and getting carried by looped (no clue what his name is now, in wow he was known as looped.) Pretty cool he got somewhere though, how good is he?

Question, why are they called gg branches anyways? I never really understood that, why not just branches, or their actual name, ironwood branches, why gg branhces?

Because they are really overpowered for their price, the most damage you get per gold in the game, so they become GG branches

Isn't it something like early on in DotA you could tell if someone was good because they brought gg branches whereas most newbies at the time would buy things like boots or fill their initial inventory in less optimal ways. So when the other team all brought branches and your team didn't it was gg (or the opposite).

It's really not all that different now, except most people are better. If some guy buys a full wraith band, boots, or null talisman at level 1 you think they're bad and it's gg (unless it's for some specific purpose that makes sense).

The team was universe, korok, bulba, bdiz, paintitgold

Nope. And I actually don't even know what happened to looped/se`busca in the hon scene.

Edit: he was part of coL's hon team until they got dropped before DHW

Oh ok I thought link was the tagless guy since he seemed to be playing carries more. Link played Puck and now SS, really not "Link heroes".

They buffed recipe items now so that wraith can be a good buy if you random. The recipe itself gives +3 damage, 1str, 1 int, which means the whole item is slightly better than 2x slipper + circlet for the same cost (unless you need the +3agi > 3 damage and +1 str/int) and saves you slots to fill with branches.
