Smoke is better if you are on a tri lane against a solo WR/DS/mirana since they have escape skills you stop and your tri lane makes sure you can walk in with cloud. Third skill is better if you are on a dual or tri lane that can't kill or be killed by the opponent until level 3 when you have blink anyhow. Though the fourth skill is one I tend to take. :p  Ur level 1 for a very short time. You can't catch anyone with riki blink is required when a fight occurs to get a hit off. | ||

I've heard from people it stands for "Stay Safe" IE Mids missing, stay safe! Also, i prefer Riki's blink over other skills - i've seen some snazzy riki escapes using it in my day, so it could be used to avoid firstblood :O | ||

 but the discussion make me think about going blink first at level 1 (always back stab first because of the passive-ness of it) | ||

Blinkers/windwalkers you smoke before even revealing yourself, rest it should be hit hit smoke blink keep hitting so that they have no real time to react but you maximize the effect of slow. Don't blink in on a target you can walk upon, you never know what will happen and the damage is very minor after level 9 (backstab deals like 150 by this time) | ||

a) Next shd I go for energy or void b) Next shd I get a Hood of defiance - i keep thinking DS becomes more of a tank than support Also, what is the combo for DS - Shd I go in an vaccum or go later and then help team? Wall first then vaccum or vice versa sorry lot of questions | ||

I don't understand your second part. Also it's "should" not Shd. | ||

What do you mean by "energy or void"? I vacuum first if they have someone that might promptly leave the area, such as qop or AM. It doesn't really matter otherwise, anything that gets the job done. | ||

they provide more mana regen than a void stone for most of the game, plus they help out your team, give a nice boost to your pool, and take 1 less item slot | ||

Void stone doesn't build into an item that Dark Seer normally gets early. Arcane boots is better than void but it costs 1.5k, almost twice soul ring, and DS doesn't need boots that much IMO, but it's not a bad alternative to soul ring if you need the slots or get boots early. As DS is quite tanky, he can afford the HP loss of soul ring, especially if your jungling and not under threat from the enemy. You may consider tranquil boots to mitigate the soul ring effect if you are worried about your HP level, or just continue with ring of health into vanguard or hood/pipe. | ||

Wondering whether tp stands for town portal or teleport now, I always thought the latter. Not a big deal . I also used to thought jk stood for joking, not just kidding. Same meaning .It's from wc3 item scroll of town portal. But I usually call it "Scroll of team play" | ||
