When Buriza gives more DPS, armor reduction magnifies the difference. When MKB gives more DPS, armor reduction also magnifies that difference. Armor reduction doesn't favor any source of physical damage over another. It has almost no impact since it applies to both cases as you said. It merely shifts the graph doesn't change of the intersection points by anything significant | ||

Which heroes should get Ethereal Blade? And by 'should', I mean as a luxury, possibly situational. I know Morphling is good, and I've tried it on Mirana and Bloodseeker, but which other heroes are there? | ||

My favorite pubbuild is blink dagon ethereal blade, always oneshots everything. More "seriously", give Nevermore and Meepo a try. | ||

it's okay on tinker, magina, na, sa, maybe a few more it's funny on od, jugger, sf, pugna, luna, meepo, and maybe a few more, but it's not particularly good edit^ just play practice games solo or against bots try to get 25/25 by 5 minutes or 60/60 by 10 | ||

If it's a melee, practice last hitting without a blade. If you're ranged, get close to the creeps so your hit lands when you want it to. Don't turn off auto attack. Know which creep your hero will attack if you DO auto attack. etc etc etc. There's probably some video guides out there, but playing more is generally the best way to practice last hitting. correct me if any of this is wrong, anyone | ||

Can't remember the SF player but the non-Void team turned it around when SF picked up an Ethereal Blade. After Void used jump-chrono and killed a few people, he jumped at the SF. SF pops Eth, ults, and Void dies. | ||

Can't right-click after EB until it wears out, and it's not like Brood has high AGI growth. so you right click before then finish with EB + shotspiders (probably a 500 damage nuke). personally im skeptical of this build since the main attractiveness of orchid is to lock down heroes from using their spells and orchid is almost 1000 gold cheaper than ethereal, but i havent tried it anyway | ||

assuming level 11 ((75 + ((40 + 18 + (2.2 * 11)) * 2)) + 300) * 1.4 = 755.16 will have to go through reductions, but might be a good pickup. | ||

Instead of spending 4900 for an Ethereal Blade which will increase your nuke damage by 120 (300*.4), you could get a Dagon for 2805. Obviously the +40 AGI increase from EB is nice, but it just doesn't seem good at all as a finisher. Edit: forgot the EB damage... still though I'm not a fan. Orchid helps you lock an enemy down, and BKB helps you chase them unimpeded. If you're not intending to use EB until the finish, you can't as effectively somebody with any sort of disable from getting away. | ||
