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

Well, by PA i think you mean PL, which is currently an awful hero, and The whole point of spectre is the global presence and threat of buyback haunt, so if it compares to those just the plain fighting ability of either hero, its probably pretty awful.


If you actually meant PA, then its even more awful.

Uh.

Treads/Drums (or more often Phase/Drums) is an early fighting build. It's good on basically every hero in the game. The only thing better for early fighting is fast Mek on certain heroes, or the occasional mid hero's Treads/Bottle/Stick/double Null.

The more you know.

Really doesn't sound that bad. He's definitely a hero with a major early timing. I'm not totally sold on it, though.

massing nulls is really bad on furion

if you want the do-shit early game build just get a mek

if you want /damage/ just get another hero

those are the only two options because massing nulls on furion is pants on head retarded

Yes, but he was asking about diffusal... Which that build is only really good on Spectre, and only because of things specific to that hero.

It's 'good' on PL, but in a relative sense, as PL is still bad with that build.

He said the word "similar." That should have clued you in.

Then it doesn't compare at all. The reason you get a radiance on naga is so she can farm the map, and eventually be relevant with 6 slots. Without all those items, the hero isnt relevant.

An early fighting Naga is pretty useless, as the illusions die easily to any aoe, and she does doesn't do any damage. In a support role she can fight early as she isnt used for damage. She is used for CC, - armour, and engaging/disengaging.
