Ok, so for the nuetral creeps you can control, which are the best to get (especially for noobs like me who can't micro them perfectly). I usually don't play ophelia, but I get whispering helm on puppet which seems moderately effective, and I can stack camps and whatnot with the extra unit for farming later. I like to get the minotaur, as the enemies don't normally attack the creeps and I can run them in and AOE stun easily. Are there other creeps worth getting (vulture)?

Minotaur is probably best. I dunno if skeleking's immobilise is any good. Not sure about the antlore healer either. If you just have a whispering helm, minotaur is the best for the aoe stun.

My favorite combo on ophelia is minotaur, cat man champion, and the wolf guy for the damage aura. It's great for ganks.

Vulture's sort of lackluster since he doesn't do much damage and he has to stay stationary for tornado. Vagabond champion (or whatever it's name is) is pretty good too.

Vulture's tornado can do a lotta damage in a teamfight, actually. If I dominate a creep with Whispering Helm, I try to dominate a Vulture. After you're done stacking ancients you can sit the vulture behind a tower, bind him to a hotkey and cast tornado whenever the tower is threatened.

It depends on what you need. The vagabond leader i awesome early on because of his +100 nuke and +3 hp aura, both of which become obsolete mid -> late game. Minotaur and wolf are the two best creeps as wolf has a godly dmg aura and minotaur both has a stun and an +15 ias aura. The skeleton is great in combination with catman champion or minotaur, as he can stun from afar and then you can sneak up for another stun later.

The +ms guy is only good when you have lvl 4 command as he has too little hp and instadies vs anything unless you have lots of +hp for him. Same goes for the vagabond with purge, who can be decent later.

tried it last night seems buggy but they are working.

Also who uses mods here like rune timer and injector?

Dunno what injector is but rune timer is a bit pile of annoying shit. Had 2 allies with it both in a team game so I got the joy of having "RUNE IN 15 SECONDS" spam every 2 minutes. It's not hard to remember runes spawn every 2 minutes. -_-

k so i toggled both exclusive mode and vertical sync and i still get that weird glitchy shit every once in a while. but now (i dunno if it's just the new patches) but I can't alt tab hon anymore, and when I close hon my monitor brightness/gamma/contrast or something are waaay high. Even I load up broodwar and have to lower the gamma.

The tab out part is from exclusive mode it basically shuts off your desktop for the time playing. I turned it off for my windows 7 machine so i can alt tab freely without a weird reset in between.

Oh a side not i played a game last night where abilities animations would show up maybe only half the time very strange to play.

yes people have done that, but its not really that great. You spend alot of money on a gimmick, and leave yourself with little hp, less survivability imo in team fights (because you will have no hp still) and it gives no substantial bonus's. One shot a glacius? sure, but eventually you will be countered by wards/dust or even a gem, and you have to cast your ult before the lothars anyway, so you really leave yourself to a gimmick with no survivability.

Isn't the standard PM build a whispering helm into a shieldbreaker or something of that sort? At least you're getting increased move speed when you go invis with your lothars. If that isn't what most people build on puppet master, whats the build people follow for survivability?
