How many hyperstones would you need until attack speed is maxed?


The maximum attack speed is 400 so six hyperstones with 70 agility is maxed attack speed.



LOL anyone remember the pre-remake drow days when her ultimate was a % chance to auto-kill a creep? 5 hyperstone tread pushes were hilarious. Quite ineffective because in those days if you did that sort of build you had 0 damage output on heroes whatsoever, but still hilarious.

How "miss" came to be abreviated to "ss" is fairly clear, however I never could fathom how "mia" appeared. Thank God it isn't used anymore.

I loved using "mia" but then people kept shitting all over me because I didn't call miss. :<

SS for missing comes from the letter 's' being on the left side of the keyboard - you do not have to take your hand off the mouse to type "missing" (and your hand should be resting around the letter s anyway during dota), assuming you're using a qwerty or similar keyboard and follow the rules of touch typing where your fingers rest on ASDF JKL;

Notable example is Rexxar, whose name can be typed easily with only your left hand instead of bm or beastmaster. Not many more out there though.


Except you still have to hit the enter button anyway.

So, if you get radiance on spectre (drums/radi or w/e) would you still get diffusal on her ?

Eventually, but if you get radiance then you generally are going for the "passive damage" build that involves a heart ASAP afterwards.

After heart+radiance, Manta/Diffusal/Butter/Skadi are all legitimate options depending on what issues you are having etc. All things considered though, diffusal might be at the bottom of that list unless you somehow find yourself solo-killing enemy heroes with some regularity.

diffusal increases your illusion dps by quite a bit but youd probably go manta/heart to tank up a bit before going diffusal if you already have radiance

Diffusal is hardly at the bottom of the list seeing as it allows you to bypass Ghost Scepter, which has extraordinary usefulness lategame.

Oh yeah that if they get ghost then u can get purge for it. Also if they have a warlock purging those creeps is good. With a radiance though Sceptre isn't necessarily the end of the world (though still annoying).

I think purge (from diffusal at least) was made not to instakill the golems in one of the recent patces, can someone confirm?

EDIT: TheYango delivers
I play children's card games and watch a lot of dota, CS and HS

No, that change was for Shadow Demon's ultimate, which incorrectly insta-killed summoned units.

Diffusal insta-killing summoned units is the correct behavior.

Yep.

And that is why diffusal is almost always a great investment against a warlock. Not only because it weakens him, but because it nets you your gold back in the end.

Any advice on how to play Elder Titans ?
Which positions, and what to build in any of them ?
I tried him both as a support and an offlane, and clearly don't play with the same build and skill order, but any general or specific advice ?

he can play anywhere. max your spirit and get at least 2 in stun. lvling more than 2 in stun depends on whether you need the full duration to properly set up skills. his aura is very good so 2/4/2 is by no means a bad build.
for items you can go pretty much any boots, depending on what your team needs. drums is excellent on him and then depending on your role and farm, you can opt to get items like halberd,pipe,mek etc.
bottom line is hes really versatile so just get whatever you think feels right at the time. theres pretty much nothing that isnt good on him

How many creeps is it worth skipping in the mid lane to stack the jungle big camp? Say you're a hero that can kill stacks really fast.

Question for both radiant/dire. Obviously it's better for radiant but if it's still worth doing on the dire side ~
You must gather your party before venturing forth.
