FHDH is correcto. the mana burn damage is a separate instance of damage, and is not treated as attack damage.

although from that thread, it's interesting that you can lifesteal the bonus feast damage on naix

@Nevuk, FHDH and ahswtini
Thank you. That table holds quite some surprises, like mana break and feedback having different interactions with lifesteal (wtf i thought they were coded the same way).
low gravity, yes-yes!

Huh, I thought that shadowblade's extra damage could crit. I might build it less on kunkka now :-p

You used to be able to, made it an amazing item on bounty hunter.
The damage can still cleave though and is still perfectly legit on kunkka. But yeah, blink has become a lot more popular recently.
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!

I just love the blink on Kunkka for self-x peekaboo antics. It's fun to do, and actually yields good results sometimes.

Ty

I didn't think it would be bear mid cause pubs (who knows who will be mid) so didn't start with stout, and by time I got bottle and stout it was too late.

illusions carry auras always
however the only ones that actually do anything for the illusions themselves are AS/MS auras
also its definitely easier to check the wiki than it is to ask here I think.

When you make a illusion of undying in flesh golem form, the illusion gets a full 30 second duration flesh golem according to dotawiki. Seems that sometimes the illusion can be more usefull then the original hero when flesh golem timer is soon to end.

When you face alot of aura's, maybe darkseer wall of replica could help out.

Exceptions: Illusions can benefit from auras based on Endurance Aura, such as Yasha's movement speed and attack speed bonus, or Beastmaster's Inner Beast

I'm actually not sure about kobold/necrobook auras. mb someone can check

Couple of questions on Bane support:
- Is he best played as a 4 or 5 support?
- Does he work well in a dual-lane or function more properly in a tri?
- How do you combat the mana issues? The hero has great abilities but they're all really mana heavy.

Bane actually loves items but he really just has no good way to farm (0 aoe whatsoever) so most of the time he's going to be the 5 because farm time on him just doesn't get you as much as farm time does on other supports. That said you should definitely be finding farm if it's available in a lane or whatever.

Bane's fine in dual or tri lanes. Nightmare is among the best setup skills in the game, but if ur say babysitting an AM who doesn't use the setup then enfeeble and brain sap let you fight harass wars really really well to keep ur carry relatively unscathed while farming.

To fight mana issues you just buy clarities and mana boots. Most of your spells aren't really designed to be spammed and often should be kills when they are used. Bottle is also not terrible since you are quite strong roaming to setup kills in other lanes but you generally don't utilize the HP regen as well as other heroes do and a full bottle doesn't really give you many spells lol.

Usually the plan is to get a kill with spells then if i'm low just base since i'm a support and if I still have HP i either try to finish mana boots or fly myself a clarity (and often a smoke). I kinda treat him like an ES where you just accept that ur gonna chew through clarities for a while.

PS: this is the shit we put in hero-specific discussion threads ;P

Thanks for the insight. I thought about the [H] Bane thread but that "3 months old, bump it and I'll ban hammer you" warning got the best of me. I'll make sure I post there in the future.

anywhere 2 to 5 works, assuming ur mid or support. fast levels and items are great on bane but not really necessary

depending on lane u can often skip enfeeble until much later which helps a lot
stats over nightmare helps too

most of the time u only spend mana for kills, or for the first few minutes of the game while u zone the offlaner soa couple clarities is usually enough

imo arcanes is a waste unless youre going to 5man. bane doent really spend mana outside of teamfights, generally enough for your full combo is enough. brown boots blink is rly strong on this hero

well u need something or else u literally can't cast all ur spells (ignoring enfeeble which u often don't skill) for quite a few levels without the mana drain from ur ult which isn't the most reliable thing ever.
