damage reduction is based off warcraft 3, so no. http://www.playdota.com/mechanics/damagearmor

how does armor work?

Say if I have 20 armor, a TA attacks me with 200 damage, i only receive 180 damage?

If you hover over your armor stat, you'll see something like "20% physical resistance" = basic attacks do 20% less
if you have 20 armor then thats probably 50% resistance

Are there any tricks for TA's meld?

I'm having major issues judging her tiny attack range. If I get it wrong, she just walks out of meld to attack them and it's wasted.


if you have blink, I would strongly suggesting phasing forward, using a trap, and then blinking literally on top of your target (or even in front of it). dota_range_display 1200 is amazingly useful for this (as well as being very useful for judging a lot of enemy skill ranges and your own exp range).

If you don't have blink, it's best if you can detonate a trap and then use meld near the opponent. I only rarely get meld before 6 since I don't find it useful early unless you're against someone like a QoP, as it's such a drain on your meagre mana pool. The refraction mana increase really forces you to go 3/0/2 and then take meld at 8 or even 9/10. Since by around ~10 minutes I usually am close to my blink, it's not often that I use meld without it.

I was wondering which item uses are blocked by BKB. I had a game where I tried to test Euls and Sheepstick which both seem to be blocked by BKB, are all item effects blocked by magic immunity?

My question is for mods i think.

Can I start a thread where I can organize people to play Public games with me and my brother?

We play on South East Asia/China and Australian servers.
We also consider what our team mates play. We try to win games and not fool around. We play support if needed.
We play seriously but at the same time, we provide you with comedy and entertainment. My username is Sakal Bibe and
my brother is BOSS.Red

Please reply if anybody from those regions are interested in creating a 5 man team. We can have lots of fun!

false.

notably, a lot of passive effects go through BKB.

Also, medallion, urn, veil, and bashes from cranium basher and abyssal blade (as well as the abyssal active) go through BKB.

Is it ever viable to get rid of your boots in favour of another really high end item as a carry in the late game? Say, if your team has stuns or other means to keep enemies in place so you can close the distance.

I'm asking because of a game yesterday, where an antimage got rid of the boots for an abyssal blade (other items were bfury, manta, butterfly, bkb, heart). His team mates were silencer, kunkka, enchantress and CK. I adviced him to get rid of bfury instead but that's not an easy call either as bfury is a good damage/regen item as well. Granted the blink/stun from the abyssal works, as does enchantress slow, and CK stun, but other than that we did not have much. Thoughts?

Depends on the hero. IIRC Weaver was commonly built without boot because of shukuchi. For the vast majority of heroes it is probally not worth it though. Melee heroes specially, since even with a few disables they still have to chase heroes and Boots of Travels are extremelly good in the late game if you have a full build already, so it makes sense to just switch boots if you have the money.

So overall I would say it's only worth it on very specific scenarios and the game you posted really was not one of them. Not that it really mattered considering the advantage they already had. The main reason not to ditch the BF would be the cleave, it's great for clearing waves if you are split pushing or if you lost raxes. You could easily get more damage with other items and the mana regen is not really necessary at that point in the game.

It might not have looked like it on the score screen, but the anti-mages team might look better on paper, but we only had one out of 6 raxes left, they had 5, and the alchemist bashkilled antimage in a 1v1. We won by throning after a won teamfight.

Since AM has blink,I think it is ook to get rid of boots generally, but i dunnoabout this game. Its prolly better when you have magnus or enigma in your team
Ive seen PL get rid of boots in a pro game once, where he would defend the base alone with illusions, and just needed a bit more damage/survivability to basically 1on5 the whole enemy team. It worked, he got his 2nd heart and stopped all splitpushing attempts and then wiped the enemies and won

Apart from few examples, I generally would tend to sticking to boots / upgrading to BoT.

i have a more technical question:
how do i set up my mic for ingame voice?
there are no options to config it.

My headset is a logitech usb headset (cant give more details without some further investigation via google)

everything is set to "win default", so i expect it to work ... but thats not happening. whenever i want to talk it shows the crossed mic symbol.

but the mic is working, skype doesnt have any trouble with it. teamspeak as well. only dota is bitching around.

any ideas how to solve that problem?
Ooooh, look at it go
