There's no way this is right (yes I know ur better than me).

Even a full wand is only one stun+rift. And those spells dont have a long cd. And phantasm is like 275 mana out of a 470 mana pool at level 16.

Although appropriate treads toggling makes a big difference and I never manage that.

I think his point is that if you use the stick, you can get the kill you are looking for without the need for drums. Clearly you need that full mana pool if its go time with phantasm.

But yeah, I get drums on him until someone figures out a better way to get that mana that doesn't involve a support not having his mana boots off CD(which never happens, they spam that shit)

Are right clicks ever the thing that kills slark? I always felt it was nukes and all the stuns. Also, it seems kinda risky with dark pact. Thats a lot of shit draining your HP.

Would be a good way to end up on Fails of the Week however.

Drums just fits well with CK's overall timing because you should reasonably have Treads+Drum+Stick/Wand at level 8, which is his first major peak in fighting power with Bolt+Rift maxed.

Nothing's good on ck if you can't get on top of people. Drums actually helps somewhat in that regard.

I guess you could play CK as a blink-dagger ganker but realistically he needs too much farm for that to be good. Which is part of why he's a fucking awful hero overall.

Then you end up wasting he kill potential at like level 8 or so when everyone is made of glass and getting their first big item.

He is a weird hero, but fun to play if you can get him farmed. But thats a lot of heroes.

Midas ck is fine, especially b/c you shouldn't be playing ck unless you have a free farm lane anyway

CK has no flash farm and with 5 minute midas you aren't behind on treads/drums?/armlet/bkb timing

Well other heroes have core items that result in huge boosts in utility (most notably blink users, mek carriers, etc)

CK doesn't really care if he has treads/drums at 10 minutes or 14. If you are behind as CK your game is gonna be ass. The strength of his combo: pull + stun + followup (gotta have a team that synchronizes) is intrinsic to the hero
