And yeah, it's as Blitz said. Just rotate heroes in your head and keep the skill on CD. If you can't remember to do it every 12 seconds, then just practice till it's second nature. Not really any special tricks to it.
I see. What I'm doing now is kinda like WoW. I buff myself and then buff another hero immediately. When my empower expire means it's time to rebuff myself and the other hero. It's my way of keeping the buff up on myself and 1 more hero. Guess I need more practice.

Whenever you see it off cooldown, use it on someone.

If you want to maintain 100% uptime then yes, spam it on cooldown. If it any point spamming becomes a risk for keeping the buff 100% alive on your positions 1 and 2 then don't spam. Prioritize that empower.

Does using midas on the bear give syllabear the xp boost?

No it doesn't. Midas on bear gives the gold only midas on hero gives xp and gold. This isn't necessarily a bad thing though as once you hit 16 you don't really use more levels that much and a lower respawn time becomes fairly valuable.

lately my friend starts playing support so I could start practising a carry hero. there I stumbled across lone druid. so, after reading some short guides I took him into jungle with stout shield and that axe for more dmg on creeps and farmed and farmed and farmed in the jungle, after lvl 5 poping sometimes out of the jungle to help a gank in the near lane, and then farmed further till bear got radiance and 2x boots.
most games where like that:
farm farm farm farm gank farm farm farm till 20 mins, after that i got the radi + 2x boots. then in teamfights i dont really have much to contribute: bear tanks and i'm in trueform somewhere in the back as i "only" have 1.5k hp compared to the bear and casting the two buffs on the bear. he deals the dmg espc. with radiance. but my lack of items somehow let me stand behind fearing CC spells/nukes that brings me down. in the end i have like stats like 1-2-20 or so.
is that the role of the lone druid? to open and use the source of jungle so one other hero gets more xp/gold? what can i do better? is there something in the teamfights i forget? it feels like in the first parts of the game i'm playing a pve game, at mid game ganks i hope for procs of the bear. and in the lategame i feel weak and i feel only my bear is helping.
please help  thanks in advance

Lone druid is a good jungler, but he is a even stronger laner. Admittedly in pubs you will often be forced to jungle, where you should be fine, and you seem to be going for the right starting items.
As long as you have true form, 1.5k hp is more than good enough for most of the game to allow you to run in and do damage. If you don't feel safe, don't commit yourself; use your bear to deal damage and burn the enemies with the radiance.
Keep farming more items, such as AC/basher/vlads/MKB/Abyssal. Once you find that your bear is no longer able to stand up to damage (IE, the enemy kill it quickly whenever you send it in), start putting the big items on yourself.
Something that LD is excellent in is applying pressure to towers. Whenever there is a stalemate around a tower, send your bear up to hit the tower while your team stand back safely. The opposite team is forced to commit to the teamfight or suffer a lot of radiance damage or tower damage.

yeah i'm fine jungleing, also paying attention to time that i dont fight with the last mob and block a spawn. i was just wondering that the only thing i do for my team in the first 20 mins is maybe 1-2 gank attempts and just farming in the jungle. later i can help with split pushing, but (ok i only have now 2 games with him  ) it felt that i'm not really "helping" my team getting an advantage in the early/mid. but if its enough help that i use the jungle xp/gold and give one hero more, then i'm happy

Can weaver kill heroes like Drow Ranger or Windrunner 1v1?
Silence and stuff... Are there any items that would help vs in this case somehow?
|
drow destroys weaver cuz silence + ultra high damage (weaver can ult through silence at 16 though). windrunner can stun and run away so she shouldnt die 1v1.

I just tested it because I was pretty damn sure that it doesn't work like that. You're wrong. =P
Tested with both Global Silence and Last Word, can't Time Lapse at lvl 16 in either case.

bkb helps a lot against both, mkb helps a lot against wr
you need way more farm than drow to kill her with weaver tho

yeah, i just checked too, im totally wrong. sorry

Thought so, you almost made me think I was crazy. :D

quick question on runes. they spawn at every 2 minutes starting at :00, or will remain there until picked up
question: say no one has picked up the first rune of the game and it's 1:55. If I pick up the rune right then, will another one spawn at 2:00? or will it be 2min from when I picked it up, ala 3:55? I think it's every even minute unless a rune exists on the map, but I'm double checking.
|
I think there used to be a window where it would skip the spawn if picked up too late, but it is no more. It is now possible to pick up a rune so late that you won't even see it disappear and a new one will be there. In one of the recent patches they changed it that it can't be the same rune type, it could be really confusing when you pick up a rune at 2*x:59 and it's still there and is in your bottle/the effect happened. Had it happen to me in one game 3 times in a row. I had DD in every fight for 10 minutes
