DK's 4 tend to be pretty aggressive Burning just farms for days very well whenever it's safe to farm alone, if it's not safe alone 1 player will be dedicated to him and everyone else carries tps no matter what. | ||

His blink/mobility spell does aoe damage, so good for farming, early control, ganking. His second ability changes into either a stun or a massive damage attack based on his str or agi stat. His third ability lets him convert his agility to strength or vice versa. So a player with goo dmanagement will always have morph balancing between massive dps and morph has extreme survivability since he can convert all his agi back to strength. And his ult lets him make a 50% strength clone, so if morph is already farmed up, the clone can do massive damage. Or he can use it to instant teleport out. | ||

To sum it up - he is both very survivable, has a mechanics to do a very high damage as a "righ clicker" in the late game and with the right items he has absurd amounts of burst damage (also known as "shotgun") too. | ||

mass range aoe nuke/escape that does more dmg than many single target nukes a variety of builds because of his morph ability/high nuke potential many escapes can split push easy high survivability can nuke anyone 1v1 instantly if build ethblade | ||

And if both heroes have buyback (or aegis), void might lose if he can't kill in one chrono. 200 mana + 375 mana + 200 mana is 775 mana. At level 25 he can I think, 260 mana from +stats, another 78 from refresher, 682.5 naturally. And I'm not sure how many heroes live through a single chrono of a 6-slot void with BKB/rapier/manta/deso/refresher/choose one. Lone Druid will res and annoy you with the bear while the aegis is ticking, I suppose, but you can leap away from the bear and even without chrono your bash and backtrack give you okay chances 1v1. | ||
