IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

Well yeah post-patch the 1 in crit is almost certainly worth it. Hell you can level it first to get a free lasthit :3 (this is probably bad).

Well its really not since it doesn't count-down if you auto so unless you can avoid attacking for 10 seconds which is unlikely while csing it's not much better in lane.

E: its really really good against jinada though lol

I think the early point in it is still good, especially for the dodge as well; that may help. Unless two points in Stats is really still needed as per before.

On mid brew, I think they key benefit to stats is that it allows you to blink rush pre-arcanes and still be able to cast blink -> clap -> ult and when ult ends have clap mana etc.

I haven't done the exact math but brew's mana pool is generally sorely lacking.

So that is what you are balancing the point in crit against.

Edit MATH TIME:

At level 7, brewmaster has 273 mana naked with nothing levelled. In order to cast clap -> ult he needs 275 (150 + 125). Of course, 1 gg branch fixes this but that means that in order to even cast both your spells you have to enter a fight at literally 100% mana.

The points in stats give you some lee-way here as well as getting you closer to the magic number that gives clap -> ult -> clap (425/450/475 depending on ult level).

Note that having 1 point Crit early does not preclude you from leveling Stats from 8-10. Both Brawler and Haze are one-point-wonders (especially Brawler after this change), and until carries have a completed major item, having more Stats is quite arguably more effective than leveling either skill.

Yeah I'm happy with that

Also I like the item-combine noise but I have no idea how anyone came up with it. Imagine the guy in the office "lads i've made this sort of blublublu noise that I was thinking can play when you put an item together?" - "yeah alright then"

Good sound designers are genius people. How do you even come up with those sounds. Like the weapon swap sounds from half life fro example, they just feel right.

Drow's frost arrows noise is hilarious though, it sounds like a tennis volley or something.

PS: I really want PA to be legit now, 50% evasion is so unreal o.o

PA is so good with that as long as she can farm at a reasonable rate. I find that she can fight a little earlier than most hard carries because of her crits. Plus killing people with a dart that crits is hilarious.

Man, I just did the math for the number of games I need to play to get above 3k MMR, assuming my current win rate of 3/5. This shit could take a while.

The time of PA has come. Luckily enough I will get my desktop soon so I will be able to spam PA all day. muahahahaha.

The very first core item for PA is more prominent now:

The "item spawn" noise when health kits spawn from HL1 is to me one of the most iconic sounds in gaming.

I actually remember an awful lot of the sounds from HL1 lol (For not having played CS 1.X)
