Tranquil, vit booster into radiance. Follow with an obvious heart (no other damn option in most of the games, a superfat radiance spectre is the most annoying one: following with diffu before heart is borderline dumb 90% of the times),diffu/manta Are you not having room for farming ? Phase,janggo,diffusal,manta. Some people aren't really convinced by janggo on spectre but it gives 9 to all stats,3 damage and some very useful perks for 1750 gold. Before it gave 9 damage instead of 3 but yeah... still very good. | ||

http://de.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/15w0zf/item_discussion_of_the_day_heart_of_tarrasque_jan/ has some good information as well. Skadi is a strong alternative to heart, but only if you're the primary carry on your team and will be building damage items later. You cannot passively carry with it by being unkillable, something enabled by heart's regen in oldschool radiance builds. It costs the same. It offers 25 IAS, 25 damage, 500 mana, a 20% anticarry IAS decrease, a 30% MS slow, 3.5 armor, and 300 less HP. It has no out of combat regen. You can't go heart as a first item or they'll ignore you, and rushing radiance leaves you with no HP so you're easily burst. You can compromise with a vitality then radiance, but can you actually farm 3800 without any real presence save for dagger+desolate? In contrast, Skadi first gives you good durability but also enough DPS and annoyance with the slow that they can't kill you or ignore you, as well as a strong early game. Skadi is also a strong alternative to diffusal vanguard. If you go diff+vanguard you have committed yourself to getting at least 5 kills in the next 10 minutes with it. Both are mid-game items that do not offer much at all past 25 minutes. In contrast, Skadi is a tier 4 item that, in my opinion, does a lot of what diff+vanguard does without giving yourself a timer. You can show up via haunt with realistically unburstable HP and use your slow to kill a support or two. You don't block yourself on slots or prevent a lifesteal orb. Skadi fits tons of stats into one item. It also gives you a strong early game. At the time vanguard is finished you will have a tranquils, point booster, and an OoV. OoV should be considered core on Spectre because of how powerful it is combined with desolate and dagger. Point booster is like a vitality booster in terms of giving you HP to work aggressively in the early-mid game, but also gives you mana for a second dagger -- something Spectre desperately lacks in the first 20 minutes.\ Perhaps best of all, you don't have to get heart or skadi. Get both. Assuming you got one AoE damage item (Mjollnir or Radiance), that and the Skadi slow means they really can't ignore you even if you have 3K+ HP. Alternatively, get damage items and lifesteal. Though a strong first or second item, you can grab Skadi as your 5th or 6th. | ||
