Skadi isn't necessarily gotten primarily for the DPS; you get it for the stat bonuses and the slow, then you tack on your DPS item after the Skadi (or before, w/e). Blink > Lothars on almost everything. Lothars is countered by a Sent ward, or anything with true sight. Blink can be used whenever Lothars can. | ||

It's bad if you rush it, except a few select heroes [ like qop ], but other than that it's only drawback is that it costs a lot. Skadi is a perfectly fine item in my book. Especially because it doesn't count as a orb on ranged heroes [ again with the exception of some orbs like desolation ] | ||

Let's see: useful attributes to sniper? +str? check +agi? check +ms? check +as? check +maim? check A good sniper positions himself well and that means a lot of moving around. The ms gain from this build will be a huge asset. And at this point your agi gain should be significant enough to proc maim often enough. Sny > Skadi on sniper. Skadi is a useless piece of shit item that has the worst DPS/gold for such a ridiculously expensive item. (Note I only get skadi in game 3 since terrorblade dropped). Right here. And this is after I type up about a page explaining why Skadi > SnY. | ||

I'm getting tired of forumcrafting to defend my style of play really. No one wins here. It's pretty much your word or mine. DotA is still an unexplored game and I am certain that the majority of us are in for a surprise. The same thing will happen with DotA as it did with BW I assume. People will rule out many possibilities as not viable or newb only to look like an ass later on when a pro demonstrates it. I don't even support the 'if a pro does it, it's good' argument but it seems to make most ppl happy since they can't argue with someone who is undoubtedly better than them. *cough* cowards Who would've thought 3 Hatch before pool in TvZ 'could' work? Or 14 Nexus in 2v2? I seem to recall arguing necromastery + shadowraze is good a while back. Then someone stepped in and bashed it saying it's too 'pub.' Or SnY being utter trash, plenty of excellent players get it on various heroes. I don't think it should be necessary to link a replay or some sort of proof to back up my statements. Try it and decide for yourself. I say this because I am not easily persuaded myself. | ||

 But, in the game I played him (didn't read your post before), when I bought BoT, I got trashed by people in the game "Wtf u need BoT for, you get max -ms with Emp. Haste lvl 4 and Charge of Darkness if you have Treads". Any thoughts / comments on that? And a funny addition, I used a similar build to yours (something like RoR + 2 tangos, later 2 Bracer, BoT -> SnY -> Hyperstone -> BKB). Funny | ||

Today I was like, after this ~2 month of playing DotA, trying out the heroes I've never had the chance to use before (didn't /random or pick them deliberately yet). One of these heroes were the Spiritbreaker, and I've grown very fond of him I think But, in the game I played him (didn't read your post before), when I bought BoT, I got trashed by people in the game "Wtf u need BoT for, you get max -ms with Emp.

Funny Yeah...people who say that are noobs who don't realize how the bonus damage is done on SB. The bonus damage is done before the actual hit is landed on hero by SB, so with Charge your first bonus damage is/can be monstrous. With that said, level 4 Charge + BoT+Empowering Haste means you can not only do a big opening hit but it also means you can charge from very close and reach 500+ ms quickly, potentially making SB a very scary ganker. Personally, I wouldnt even make an SnY and just drop a BKB/MoM on SB, BoTs are more than enough. | ||

One of the most selfish dota players, has no sense of team work and spends way more time chatting than actually playing. He was going to play in our first preseason league match, never showed up, so we won handily without him and banned him from vent and channel and told him we lost. He kept apologizing but said we take dota too seriously hahaha. Let go of the grudge romance you aren't that good at dota. 16 but more mature than you :D No sense of teamwork? Yea that's why I play IHCS. Home of the dota players with no team work... There is no grudge, you're just an idiot. Me being good or not at dota is irrelevant. You automatically assume that anything I say towards you has to do with some "grudge" from being kicked off a mediocre dota team. Good try though! PS: How you handled that situation was beyond any level of immatureness I have ever reached. I tried to handle this on BNet and then even PM on this site, and you wouldn't respond, but now for some reason you insult me in front of the majority of TL.net. Attention whore or are you just bad at handling your problems? | ||

Well I'll be a college freshman soon and classes start so for the next week or so I'll be moving in/adjusting but I'm usually on like 8PM-Early morning hours EST every night. I play on Azeroth[East] but if you got vent I'm probably on the majority of the day. account: JLIG.Vicious channel: Clan JLIG | ||
