You could say you have tried it(but I'm sure you never did, so you really can't) and you think your build is better because of A and B. Otherwise your teorycrafting arguments are null and void. If most of you say I'm wrong that obviously means that the majority is wrong only because people are easy to influence. If most of you agree, then obviously the majority is with me and I'm right! | ||

Of course it's not based off of pure theorycraft. | ||

Get battle hunger at lvl 22-25 plz -_- Maybe if they reduced the mana cost it might be a more threatening of a skill Anyway I didn't thoroughly read that huge post in page 10 even though the poster did have some truth to share mainly because he relied on numbers so much. Like SnY vs Skadi, which he implied Skadi is better. It's not that simple. I rarely care about the total cost of items because it's really the transition that matters. The only items for which I know the total cost by heart are the obvious/easy ones: BoT, hands of midas, radiance, old aegis etc. 'Can I really afford to walk around with nothing while farming for the next 10 minutes?' is the question I ask rather than comparing numbers and stats to see which item is better overall since the context of the items make a difference. You have to work for your money in dota. Hell, the only reason iron wood branches are the most cost-effective is because they're so cheap anyone can afford them. Unfortunately we don't have thosuands of item slots so let's leave it at that. It won't make a huge difference whether you go circlet/gauntlets or branches. | ||

Although the transition for some items may be a long time, it shouldn't change things significantly. When you build Butterfly, you get Eaglehorn first most of the time, although if you had quarterstaff first, you may be able to use the IAS to help farm for your Butterfly. Most games have a period of farming, where almost ever hero is farming, or trying to get into favorable positions. Spending your money as you earn it will not be quite as beneficial as saving it up for the higher tier items, since after a period of time, only tier 3-4 items will even have any effect. And the answer is yes, you can afford to walk around with nothing for the next 10 minutes. If you are really farming poorly then get more bracers to buff your life, but don't stop going for Stygian Desolator and start going for Basher or something just because you can't farm. I still standby my statement that SnY is a bad item, although it may be beneficial for some select characters. For the comparison of Skadi and SnY, it seems pretty simple. Even when you're building for your Skadi, you have a lot of bonuses from your Ultimate Orbs, each one is worth one part of SnY, each of which are not too bad. EDIT: DotA pros can't live off the money they earn. Usually pros are ones that play on IHCS1, or in the formal leagues and do well. | ||

I just played a game with DK, and I noticed I would run out of mana really quickly. I had enough mana for the stun/nuke combo, so I didn't go for a talisman, but opted for a RoB. I didn't intend to take it any farther than that, as to me it wasn't an integral part of my hero's build. I'm just curious how the mathcraft works out on the different mana regen items. Should I have just left it at a sobi? Or should I have gone for a void stone, or (gas) an arcane? I considered arcane, but it's a bit expensive, even if it would give me endless mana. I figured the RoB would at least help me push, and it isn't that expensive. I'm just curious what you guys think. | ||

imo, RoB is fine with the added regen and +6 damage, but if youre that mana dependent, just get some clarities :d | ||
