getting blink dagger as the first big item after arcane boots and a bracer is fun, catching any who are out of position.

but damn he is squishy, dies from a few aoe spells who aren't even meant for me if I ain't carefully.

What does people think of a bkb or linkes after blink dagger ?

BKB is virtually standard on a semi-carry style rhasta. Aghanim's scepter pieces aren't bad for buffing your baseline survivability as well. Urn, mek, ghost scepter are all options too.

The disabler supports tend to die first. What item to get depends on what's killing you. If you're getting nuked, then bkb (single target) or pipe (aoe) might be good. If you're getting right clicked, then a ghost scepter is a really cheap and good option.

Blink Dagger is the first item Rhasta should always get. You need good positioning to throw all the spells you need to in order to be useful. Skipping dagger in order to get tanky with other items isn't worthy, because you will not be tanky at all, you'll end dying. So you really need a Blink Dagger to pull quick ganks, Blink + Sheep is very strong to pull ganks and initiate fights.

After that, BKB, so no one can keep you from disabling the other team. Much cheaper and useful than Linkens in Rhasta's case.

Drums goes with everything.

On a more serious note, i hate rhasta in pubs, rhasta needs his team to follow up, and you can't always expect that
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

nah, in pub just fucking rush tower split lane pushes. Once all gone try to call them to rosh, else stack ancient and farm with ulti isnt bad either. The point is to make sure u got scepter + blink -> eul and you are pretty much an unkillable SK/puck.

if you're playing an int hero, including rhasta, your first item should always be bloodstone
it gives you the most hp and mana and makes you basically annoying as fuck for the other team cuz if they kill you your team gets healed and shit

best follow up on that is rod of atos for the decent survivability and pretty good int increase + a surprisingly effective slow
nothing else you could want on a caster

except maybe veil, that item is grossly underused, but it should probably be your next item cuz it amplifies all your magic dmg, why dont more people use this sicknasty item

after that i recommend travels for quick gank support

though by that point you've already won so just get battlefury

A good shadow shaman is hard to play against in mid
But yeah drums into blink into bkb is pretty good.

Can you stop trolling. I thought the warning after spamming "bloodseeker" in multiple threads should have knocked some sense into you.

can you point out what is wrong with my post instead of denouncing it as trolling
maybe that build actually works?
have you tried it?
i dont think so.

Rhasta is not primarily about magic damage. Why don't you just a medallion instead.

Yeah, and just flat out saying you should always get X is one of the dumbest things to say in DotA. Seldom are there items that you should always get in X order, it is dependent on so many variables that to suggest otherwise is ignorant. It is similar to how there are builds on sites like dotafire which are fine and all to learn a hero. But the builds change based on your team makeup, laning, kills, time, etc.

Bloodstone... lol... Yeah, first thing you should get for tinker (who is an Int hero) is a bloodstone... what a joke.
