they recently patched to original dota so rearm will affect blink, unlikely that this will be the nerf of choice but i think tinker will get some attention that tinkers with his farm speed. (sorry for the pun)

I think imma try soul ring arcanes blink maybe. I'm not really 100% on what i'd buy after though since I think u'd need some raw hp. Maybe like BKB and hex.

While those items are fine for regen, the nice thing about BS is that it gives Timber an innate amount of tankiness with the farming speed / regen. Soul ring actually detracts from HP, so it is essentially a farming item (not a bad one really), but doesn't solve the HP issue. Going blademail is nice in that it acts as a tanky item for a limited amoutn of time, which allows you deal a ton of damage while you aren't being attacked. Blink doesn't help with this at all - its typically a better second item (after bloodstone, bkb, blademail etc).

if you drop the arcanes before using soulring you gain permanent mana.

It's not a valid reason to buy it when the item is all about not dying, it's nice boon when you can benefit from it but thats all

maybe you guys can just not die? respawn timer can be infinite if you never die. (: (; (; (; (; (:

Can anyone tell me why bloodstone on DP is still popular with pros?
-You get enough mana regen with bottle euls (where euls is usually core)
-You get more tanky with a heart or skadi but you get life regen/slow
-Reduced death time not effective cause your ulti will still be on cool down if you used it before you died

Bloodstone is also risky as it loses its effectiveness if you are behind and keep dying, and the payoff if you get charges is just more mana regen which you cant utilise.
The only other thing is the team aoe heal, and it seems pretty ridiculous to spend so much just for that.

I am going to be honest, I have no idea why they get BS. I think it helps with mana regen and tankyness so they don't have to go back to base. The only thing I can see it being good for is counter pushing with crypt swarm, since that does add up after a while.

But yeah, I think rushing heart after euls, or BKB is better. But I am not a pro.

Edit: I am super bias because I hate BS on DP, because idiots rush it when they could just have a Euls. Same with shadowblade, but thats a different story.

Honestly, I think there are better items for her, but its essentially gotten as a pseudo farming / tanky item. Having the mana regen to farm, while having more HP. Should never be gotten before Euls really (most pros get it after Euls anyways). The lowered respawn time is nice (though not super synergetic, as you said), and the aoe heal is fine.

The mana regen + hp is really why though. Lets you farm like crazy.

I like bloodstone on dp but I remember a well written guide here that declared bs retarded on her. authored by rocketbear maybe?
I thought it made sense because her damage comes from surviving a long time in fights.

Heal usually doesn't do much because she is initiated on and focus fired to prevent using ulti or she is so tanky that most of her team die before her.

during TI4 i think most DP players got bloodstone as a late-game item for reduced respawn timer, they ususally built it after euls

It is sort of pants backwards retarded. You are mid, will have a bottle and likely have gotten euls. You have one spell that you spam that maxes out in cost at 165. No one spams silence when there are no heroes around and it doesn't do shit unless you are setting up for a team fight. Its like Bloodstone on Sven because you want to use storm hammer to farm.

One overlooked benefit of Bloodstone is the team heal. If you die in a team fight you heal all your allies. That can make a huge impact in late game team fights as your ulti damage starts becoming less relevant. So they focus you down and you heal your team or they ignore you and you can mass spam from the BS charges.

Well, BS gives 500 HP, vs something like a Heart which gives 1060, a BKB which gives 190 + magic immunity, a shivas which gives the...well everything it gives and 15 armor. So really the only rational for picking up BS is additional regen, a heal, and reduced spawn time. Given that heal + reduced spawn time is average on her, the most logical explanation is for farming faster.
