Personally I would build him similar to OD, but let out the carry items (like bkb) since Skywrath also scales pretty well with INT I guess. | ||

i.e. diffusal then buy a mask of madness. Which applies? The most recently bought one? | ||

The most recently bought one? not sure about dota 2 but in dota 1 the item slot the item was in was important. the item slots had different priorities and if you arranged items in a particular order, one item would override the other. try testing it in dota2, because im not sure if it still applies. | ||

I'm interested because early OoV on most melees is quite strong, would start picking it up more if the above is true. | ||

I'm interested because early OoV on most melees is quite strong, would start picking it up more if the above is true. Orb of Venom is a buff placer that is not an orb effect, so it stacks with orb effects that are not buff placers. Practically speaking, this is just lifesteal.

Concussive Shot's damage scales poorly and the slow doesn't scale at all. For most ganks, you don't get a second shot regardless, and the silence duration/damage amp % scaling are just way better. | ||

Specially with Chen, as I'm not very good with him, how can you gang without ursas, trolls or centaur if the lane does not have good cc? Also as Chen I never gank the offlane as it seems so far away, should I try to smoke? When I get Wildkin, just try to make it tank as many camps as I can because it is the most durable and you can farm pretty fast with it. Don't worry about stacking unless it times up right because you waste time and lose all potential to gank it seems. I've played with a Chen who just stacked and tornado'd camps...he was throwing away all of his early game potential, it made me sad. And you can gank with Satyrs. I like jungling close to the lane (especially easy on Radiant), so I like to have the Satyr harass with Shockwave. And the Satyr farms pretty fast so you don't really lose on jungling speed with it. Also, I asked this a few pages back, but no one answered. Do Meepo clones split damage on Skywrath's ultimate? | ||

If you stack and tornado then you get a ten minute mek and then you should have a huge teamfight advantage you can push down towers with. Think of it as changing the timing rather than throwing away your early game potential. | ||

After that I'd think eul's/orchid/dagon/vyse would be best. get your q i think he has the potential to be a very strong trilane support, even better than visage. skywraths q is like a slightly weaker version of visage's soul assumption. couple that with a free orchid in lane and a huge slow that can be cast from miles away, you have a very strong aggressive support hero. without his first skill however, he lacks a lot of dmg since the dmg from slow isnt the best and you want to take full advantage of the amp dmg from your 3rd skill. | ||

I don't see the value in getting past lvl 1 W... with an arcanes you can spam Q and easily force people out of lane, it's a low damage nuke but its 5->2 sec cd and its only 70 mana. | ||

From levels 3-7 with Arcane Bolt max, the hero's solo-killing ability against any hero with similar levels/items is ridiculously high. It's why he's so strong 1v1.

It's not the same. 20-14s CD makes almost no difference in normal gank situations early game that are about immediate burst in the span of 10-15 seconds. Going from 5-2s CD gets you A LOT more Arcane Bolts in the same time span. | ||

As a support skywrath won't have manaboots in laning phase, so that won't be spammable. For 110 mana at any level you get a 40% stun and 50-200 damage depending on level from the W. The W is nice in lane because it's good if you're running from death or chasing down a target, and you don't need to aim it. You're using the same amount of mana for that slow every time, why not have it do more damage? With W you gain 50 damage per level as opposed to 20 per level as with the Q. In laning phase the damage from any of his spells will never be good, so you might as well make the most of the spell you WILL be casting (the slow-- W). You'll never use the Q in lanes because it will never do damage on its own and you'll never have the mana to spam it unless there's a kotl. Additionally, leveling W helps its cd as well, which is more important than Q's cd early because of its utility. youre not "only" getting 20 per lvl with q. when you have a 2 second cd and a 600 cast range thats massive damage in one engagement. you cover the 200dmg from a maxed w with just 2-3 shots of your first skill, but you still have around 8 seconds left over. what benefit do you exactly get from having a lower cd slow? youre not spamming it in lane to harrass. youll only use it to either run away or initiate a gank, both of which dont happen enough for you to utilise the shorter cooldown on your skill. | ||

But that's exactly it, Q doesn't increase in mana cost and you get more damage out of it when you're trying to kill people. The slow doesn't scale, the cooldown reduction is negligible, and I doubt you're going to be wishing for an extra 150 damage to kill whoever you're desperately running from. | ||
