Which doesn't make sense in the slightest, because DK is great for both pushing and counter pushing -.-

By the way, what is the best way to build PL? From what I've heard you go radiance then diffusal, then I guess late game luxuries? Manta/butter because they give agi for your illusions? Heart? For skill build - get a point in your invis then max your slow? Do you get ult at 6 for the MR, or do you just put more points in your invis? Do you get an early point in your third skill (ie level 4)?
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

I've always skipped ult until 9/10 and maxed Lance then Doppelwalk first - sure, the extra MR is nice, but without Juxtapose that's all it gives you.

The illus are more or less useless early compared to the dopelwalk and the lance IMO. And for Items, you get what benefits your images most. Diffu is a must core I think.

Why would you build Radi on PL? Please explain.
Diffu and some survivability seems a no-brainer to me.

max lance first
at least 1 early point in doppel; stats over doppel depends on situation/preference
max juxtapose and ult by 16

tranquil + vit + wand > radi > heart + diffusal > manta
alternately
treads + vanguard + wand > radi > heart + diffusal > manta

butterfly/buriza as super luxury since u don't really die to autoattacks anyway and buriza doesn't add that much damage to your illusions since they're so weak

u buy radi because it lets you farm ridiculously fast by throwing spears at creeps or doppelwalking into creeps
also u can throw spears at heroes and they get burned for a lot of damage

Don't illus keep the radi burn on them? PL with ult can just push with only illusions, they just keep coming and with radi its very fast and risk free farm.

Because your illusions can burn everywhere =) You can lance someone from afar and he'll burn with the chance of keeping burning if the illusion replicate. Well, I think it's the reasoning at least. An self replicating illusions can farm/push a lane by themselves after just one lance in the mid/late game.

i went on the test client and tried spectre, because patch notes also said her attack animation was slightly changed (frontswing seems to be slightly quicker now, but don't quote me on that), but didn't notice any model change.

They only changed to attack animation to emphasize the damage point more. Now I can finally last hit with her, earlier it was really hard compared to other animations.

Is I scepter an ok item to aim for as vs?

Don't aim for it, but it's worth picking up late game.

General item order for VS (taken from 820's VS FPVod):
Boots (Tranquils or Phases, depending on how well you're doing)
Urn/Medallion (Urn in 90% of cases, Medallion if someone else has Urn and Medallion is still useful for your team--otherwise grab a Bracer or something)
Magic Wand
Drums
Point Booster/Cloak/Ghost Scepter (depending on which type of survivability you need most)
Aghanim's/Diffusal/Manta (lategame luxury/utility, depending on which is most useful to your team)


its awesome in pubs.
and id say dont pick it up late, if its going good for you early pick up your boots, a bracer, wand and rush that agha.
if you have agha before lvl16 its basically game over.

yea dat gamechanging 10 second swap
it's more like if u pick it up in a reasonable amount of time ur team is owning and then u win
it's not a huge pickup since the cd is pretty short anyway and vs melts like wax but it's fun to have and can be pretty nifty if you don't die too quickly

probably right, if youre team isnt doing so hot you either wont get the agha or it wont change anything.
but 10 second swap is still amazingly good.
