Lets you use blade fury in a pinch and you can use healing ward to recover health lost. Does he just not have enough HP to use it effectively? You'd be better off just getting a RoB and upgrading it after phase/threads+wand. | ||

I had a game where my team dominated and I felt relevant up till aghs. Then I thought I needed some armor and since they had lots of physical and we had lots of magic dps I took a Shivas guard. It feelt like it did next to nothing. So then I built a radiance. It feel like it did very little except letting me farm faster but I still had only about half life most of the time so I couldn't really push as hard as I wanted. Then I built a heart and I was relevant. But really, that money must have been able to go to something better because despite facing opponents many levels lower than me and with less than half of my money I felt rather limp. | ||

AC and vlads especially are huge for the team late game. In your ult as long as you're not terribly far behind, you most likely won't die. Having AC/vlads aura up in a fight for that long makes a big difference. Team amor + aoe -armor debuff, 15% bonus damage and yet another +5 armor aura is no joke. Shiva's is okay, but honestly AC is better, and vlads is just too cost effective. Once you've got your blink, aghs, AC, vlads and that still isn't enough somehow, you might consider shivas for the aura. The active is fine too, just blink into the active + clap and then split. | ||

It's also worth noting that if the earth panda dies, you do lose the auras. T.T On the other hand, their team just spent a whole lot of time physically dpsing down a panda split... | ||

[00:40.39] Kunkka hits Nature's Prophet with Tidebringer for 75 damage (511->436). [00:40.39] Kunkka hits Treant with Tidebringer for 75 damage (550->475). [00:40.39] Kunkka hits Treant for 99 damage (550->451). It works fine. The Treant that took 99 damage was the one I hit directly and received the QB bonus damage, and the splashed Treant and Prophet clearly don't take the QB bonus damage. Maybe it works differently for lane creeps but I highly doubt it. | ||
