Mek got a lot WORSE though.

AC's never been justifiable whoever implied that it is is silly. Maybe if they have an ET but thats wayyyyyyy too obscure.

AC was justifiable when Agha didn't give stat sharing so you literally could only aura stack to buff your Meepo's, but that was AGES ago.

Urn AND bottle are both core on wisp i'm pretty sure.

Soul Ring is indeed way not good enough anymore.

Necro 3 is core, midas is situational these days, shadowblade is preeeetty rare.

On PL, I actually think early game you will take Stats a lot because neither of the two new skills are terribly impressive beyond the first rank until later in the game. Something 4-1-1-1 at level 7 -> 4-1-1-2 + 3 points Stats at level 11, then level the 2 skills as appropriate past then.

Here are some inquiries left:

Clockwerk: Crimson Guard instead of Meka (arcane -> Meka -> blade mail)
Dark Seer: Bottle?
Ember Spirit (Lane): Bottle?
Shadow Shaman (Lane): Bottle?
Spirit Breaker: Max Empowering Haste second instead of Charge of Darkness (Bash is maxed first)
Pudge: Wand early-game or RoP starting items?
Weaver (Mid): Bottle? Maybe remove Aquila?

New Phantom Lancer haven't figured out how to do his item build nor items yet
Silencer currently he has Mekansm as core, is this still the way to play Silencer?
Axe (Lane) Crimson Guard conundrum
Axe (Jungle) Crimson Guard conundrum - currently have a support core build as well (Arcane -> Meka)
Lone Druid (Lane) no clue yet
Lone Druid (Jungle) no clue yet
Chen Aghanim's Core? or Extension? Before Meka or?
Leshrac core item Build for Carry Leshrac (Bloodstone) should max Lightning instead of Edict - separate build or?
Treant Protector remake core item build to fit Aghanim's Scepter
Bloodseeker New Item and Skill Build
New guides: Ogre Magi (Middle) no clue yet
Gyrocopter (Middle) didn't get to start it
Earth Spirit (Lane) no clue yet
Warlock (Middle) didn't get to start it
Bloodseeker (Lane) no clue yet
Sniper (Middle) no clue yet
Phantom Lancer (Middle)?? worthwhile or not?

Also change the starting items lol. Naked Basi + 2 Clarities blows in pretty much every situation, lmao.

Spirit breaker now goes 4-1-1-1 -> 4-1-4-2

U don't have to max bash first since its damage scaling is way different, you now GET to max charge first.

Haste is way better now but still easily the last max IMO. There's an argument for 4-4-1-2 but then u can never solo kill. If he turns into a support then 4-4-1-2 would be the build imo.

I know about the higher winpercentages with the schrapnel build, but if you are on a solo lane in a pub the extra range can make a big difference, a chance at a safer position on a immobile skinny sololaner is allways nice.

As a rule, don't put RoP in unless the hero was already getting Basi. Basi and its upgrades didn't change, and RoP isn't worth it to get if you aren't going to do do anything with it.

Weaver mid should already have Bottle, I don't know why it wasn't there before. Whether or not you buy Aquila is entirely independent of whether or not you got Bottle.

I thought you max bash first as when you use Charge of Darkness, you get 1 free Bash in; guaranteeing the damage.

Thats how it used to work since u had to max bash to get damage.

Now the first level of bash is enough damage and the next levels of it read "miniscule damage increase" so u don't get them early.

No, 4-1-1-1 was the right way to play SB before as well. Anyone who did otherwise had no clue how to play the hero, lol.

1-1-4-1 was only right if you were getting farmed as a safe lane core or playing mid for whatever reason, which are both shitty ways to play the hero anyway because his ass BAT after the nerf makes it impossible for him to go anywhere lategame.

4-4-1-2 vs 4-1-4-2 is situational based on teamcomps. Either are fine for a cookie-cutter build, though I personally see myself going 4-4-1-2 more often now.

I mean, 1-1-4-1 at least u did damage.
4-1-1-1 u didn't do anything at all before. Like, u got a 2s stun basically, thats it. There's no way it was any good. This is from an offlane perspective too since it's the only lane the hero had any application in imo.

FYI datdota says : VP jotm played lesrac +/-5 times as a semicore last month approx: manaboots, wand, urn, euls, bkb are items i see alot in those games on the jotm lesrac. I do still think with the bloodstonechange is interesting and changing his guide has a lower priority then other heros.
Ever tried to farm an aghs as treant or chen, it isnt that easy and still very expensive. Your old treant and chen guides still seem fine
