You can, but it just goes back to maelstrom so it's practically useless.

Mjollnir actually can be disassembled.

Somtimes lone druids will disassemble a mjollnir and turn it into a ac.

It's more reasonable on LD (since the bear can't use the active anyway)--though personally I'm with Zhou and Burning on this one and I think the Mjollnir bear build is actually terrible.

On Alch though, a large part of it's combat usefulness is the active.

blink vs backstab on riki, which one do you max first and is it matchup (lane) dependent? or we always max blink or always max backstab first?

I think of it this way. Backstab = max dps. Blink = survivability (since it lowers cd) - Most cases you need a slow or stun to aid you in killing someone pre-diffusal, if you want to be more self reliant blink is better, usually the case in pubs.

Maelstrom's very cost efficient, mjollnir not so much. Given that you keep the hyperstone for cuirass, the only not static charge bonus is 40 extra damage per charged lightning proc, so 25% x 40 magical damage, or 10 magic damage per attack to a single target.

Why do most invoker players never build BKB? Is force staff enough mobility in a fight? or is it just more situational?

Most invokers usually go Wex, which means you run like a cheetah - that is your escape. For Exort even just force staff is enough survival, and then of course you have ghost walk when all else fails. Plus you really don't want to be the target of the opponent as Invoker, more in the back casting away in late game, and early-mid ganking away with your mobility + force.

Invoker doesnt build bkb early game maybe, but late game after aghanims and maybe a hex or something similar, you will see bkbs on invoker

What are the best hard carries into lategame in 1v2-3 fights (assuming a reasonable gpm like 30-40mins in so 20000-30000 gold)?


Drow with bkb, buriza, butterfly and satanic (that should just abit more than 20000) can win a 1v3 right click battle easily.

3rd or 4th item manta, sure.

1st item manta? No.


No one is fucking talking about getting manta first can you fucking read some of the posts?

You're talking about how you need manta to defend the early pushes that come before the 3 item mark. That's a pretty early manta.

Also, get off your high horse.

I was saying vanguard is a good item to get because it increases your heroes capability allowing you to hold pushes and I said manta makes a good third item because of the utility it gives.

Listen, just stop arguing. EVERYBODY is disagreeing with you. You're making senseless arguments just like Shikyo. You're a new user here, let me show you what's gonna happen if you keep it up:

Really? o.O Because when I play Magnus and level up the spell in the second slot I use the same hotkey I use to level every other spell in the second slot for every other hero ... So you kind of will know.

Unless you use legacy hotkeys, I got rid of those as soon as I figured out how to change them but even so I'd imagine you know the slots, especially if you click to level up... If you use legacy keys to level up as well it might be tougher

User was temp banned for this post.


I'm going to tell you one final thing if i get banned for proposing that manta is a good item and getting flamed for telling people my build i absolutely give up on this forums because in the past, this is the build people go to on alchemist in competitive play before and unlike whoever that guy is and i have no idea what he is saying.

If I go mid, I'll run bottle and max blink first for maximum harassment. If I go normal lane, maxing backstab first is better.

Mid lane is always blink first. Side lane depends on your line up. If your lane partner or supports can hold down the opponents easily then go backstab, if you need more mobility to reach the enemy heroes then go blink.
