So dendi is playing puck with a chen on his team. He asks chen to send him back to base, and just before it completes he casts his illusory orb. Gets a full bottle, then shifts back to the orb.

That blew my mind ahahaha.

Finally my favorite hero Luna, can't wait to try her out!
Voice gives her distinct personality imo, i think the same woman that did QoP did Luna's voice, if that's true then that chick has got some serious talent... but I will miss "Moonlight shines upon the guilty and innocent alike", looks like she doesn't say it, and blue hair instead of green makes me sad
It also sucks that 'the Moon Goddess, Elune' had to be changed to 'Selemene, Goddess of the Moon' stupid IP bullshit.
If i am ever... EVER going to buy a cosmetic item for a hero, Luna's my girl, looks like a lot of things can be personalized on her. Good. Me like
EDIT: about her voice... Dota doesn't need scantly clad women who keep throwing 'look at me im sexy' remarks every two seconds (like in some 'other' games *cough*), the more i think about it the more i realize our female heroes are more... normal? they have more personality... more fleshed out? don't know, just a thought

WOW

Anyway, I love Shadow Shaman. He is soooo strong.

QoP is a succubus, so she fits the roll of 'fan service' quite nicely... And you can't make a succubus into a goodie two shoes... or can you? Valve, react! Catholic schoolgirl skin now

So lifesteal was the default orb effect for luna because nothing else would work on her in dota1. Now in dota2 what do people think people will build on her? I'm tempted to say still lifesteal, though maelstrom/mjollnir is looking tempting as well.

Lifesteal, pretty much imo. Maelstrom looks tempting though.

Luna's damage is high enough to support lifesteal nicely, and I can't see her benefiting in any special way from other orbs

would the maelstrom have a chance to proc for each bounce? that would be awesome.

edit: the wording of the skill explanation on dota2wiki leans towards it only proccing on the first hit

I do that on other orb heroes. On Viper, there's pretty much no reason ever to autocast his orb, given that 1) it's a duration effect that gains no benefit from being cast more often than every 2 seconds, and 2) his ult is his only other active ability, so it's not exactly APM intensive.

It's also technically better to never autocast Drow's orb either, given that hers also gains no benefit from being cast more often than every 1.5 seconds, she also has only 1 other active ability, and you typically buy a lifesteal orb on Drow, so only using manual cast gives you more precise control of when you lifesteal and when you slow (since you can't do both on the same attack).

The best thing about lifesteal on Luna was that the graphic changed to the lifesteal orb bouncing around making imba noises.

My memory is a bit rusty, but what happened if you bought Deso on Luna?

Most orbs caused luna to not attack at all, think deso included

Luna's Attack does not function if she tries to attack a unit with any of the following: Maelstrom , Mjollnir , Stygian Desolator.

Moon Glaives take precedence over the following: Feedback (Diffusal Blade) and Cold Attack (Eye of Skadi).

Didn't Luna used to have an Owl ability instead(could set it on trees similair to Treant protector)?similair to the Huntress unit one from Warcraft III, I think it was waay back.
also yay, Luna 1800/1800 vision.

isn't it better to keep it on for heroes like tide, who can lose debufs after a set amount of dmg? (or I guess tide is the exeption to the rule)
I'll bite this hand that feeds me, and take it for my own!

Lifesteal was not only gotten because it was the only orb that worked on her. For several years, the "active" on satanic was based on vampiric potion (or something yadda yadda) which caused her to also lifesteal from the bounce. I'll probably still rush hotd on her in pubs (as I do with davion) to start stacking ancients with dominated creeps early. I could totally see mjollnir becoming cookie cutter on her though, as it's so ridiculously strong. Manta also rocks on a hero with such a sick base movementspeed already (and illusions get glaives IIRC?)

I think it did in Dota1 anyway, but if it didn't it surely will in Dota2.
