Patch 6.83 Inquiries
Lotus Orb instead of Black King Bar in Situational Items?
Moon Shard to Situational Items?
revert back to old build (max spin)?
Remove Mask of Madness, include battlefury?
Prioritization of Heaven's Halberd, Pipe of Insight and Aghanim's Scepter is unsure.
Glimmer Cape, Core Items?
Enchanted Mango for Jungling?
Shift to carry build: Silver Edge, Moon Shard?
Glimmer Cape?
How to build up his attack speed?
New Skill Build?
Silver Edge worthwhile? Shadow Blade still has a mana cost that chips off LC.
Mjollnir still good on Bear or just rush Moon Shard first (thus Moon Shard is Extension)?
Glimmer Cape or is that just a cutesy/novel idea?
Chang Mirana's Skill Build to be less noob-friendly, but more expected way to be played?
Aghanim's Scepter situationally worthwhile for Naga Siren?
Aghanim's Scepter still sounds iffy, thoughts?
Glimmer Cape for Core - Pusher?
Aghanim's Scepter is decent, but I find it isn't prioritized.
Eul's Scepter Situational?
Solar Crest Core?
Can't find anything to really change for him, neither as midlane or roamer, suggestions?
Nothing to really change? He's just been nerfed + Mask of Madness nerf.
Glimmer Cape as Situational Items?
Lotus Orb situational? Any validity in that?
Item build needs massive reworking since his ult and strength no longer accounted for.
Thinking Solar Crest could have a higher priority of core or extension...
Glimmer Cape core instead of Mekansm? Magic Resist not really needed however.
Max Geminate Attack now?
Change to Slahser's Build?

okay its simple
bfury = lets u hit multiple creeps at a time
maelstrom = lets u hit multiple creeps at a time
moon edge = nothing like that whatsoever. only attackspeed which is almost always less efficient than damage until you have a fair bit of damage already since you start with (100 + base agi) attackspeed.

I literally have no idea where the comparison of Moon Shard to Battlefury came from.

alch doesn't make a good candidate for moon shard at all; BAT difference doesn't make attack speed more efficient than damage, the optimal damage to attack speed ratio is completely independent of BAT

i guess he's one of the first heroes you think of for the efficient 7th slot feature though

However, alch does 6-slot the easiest which makes a permanent 60 ias without costing a slot suddenly attractive

Yeah I'm pretty sure the reason you buy Moon Shard on Alch is because you hit 6 items so fast, but even then you have to weigh it against buying Aghas for people, lol.

I'm just tired; so I am not thinking straight - I saw BF and MS at the same cost and made the connection (killing creeps at an incredible rate -> works to the late-game [dissolves or use for the fast attack speed].

I will be clocking out for tonight. Started at 8 - ending at 10:30 --- Will continue tomorrow.

Still chugging along, please check 6.84 inquiries (its at the end of the patch notes) for things I'm unsure about. Overall; I love how these items create another of late-game potential, but also fill gaps for a lot of heroes I felt were trap in one build or another. I think I am excited most for Silver Edge and Solar Crest.

I should be done in 2 hours if I go at this pace.

Alchemist - Lotus Orb instead of Black King Bar in Situational Items?

Why? The items don't really serve an overlapping function, so why would this cross your mind as a direct replacement?
Moon Shard to Situational Items?

You could but it's pretty much just a "I have no slots left and am buying Moon Shards to eat them" scenario, and anyone who doesn't know to do that when they have 10k gold banked on 6 items is losing games because they don't know to do that.

Death Prophet Glimmer Cape, Core Items?

What function does Glimmer Cape serve that DP wants as core?

Doom Enchanted Mango for Jungling?

No. Mango's cost-efficiency is shit if you're using the mana just to farm (150 gold for 150 mana is terrible, lol). It's for heroes that use the regen and then can use the mana in a pinch, but Doom jungle is just going to be farming.

Doom Shift to carry build: Silver Edge, Moon Shard?

I don't know what would prompt this change, the items aren't especially good for him.

Dragon Knight Glimmer Cape?

It's situationally good because it's disassemble-able so if it's a game for Lothar's, the casual cloak is not terrible.

Legion Commander Silver Edge worthwhile? Shadow Blade still has a mana cost that chips off LC.

Lothar's LC was already bad and Silver Edge doesn't make it better.

Lone Druid Mjollnir still good on Bear or just rush Moon Shard first (thus Moon Shard is Extension)?

LD is like the opposite of a Moon Shard hero.

Moon Shard is not really an effective item outside of situational night vision extension and the eat-them-at-6-items case. Outside of that it's just 2 Hyperstones for the cost of 2 Hyperstones--it doesn't provide any distinct function that lets you do anything special. LD has a second unit that scouts for him and has 12 item slots which means he's the least likely carry to need either of those.

Would Guardian Greaves be a good extension or situational item for Dark Seer? He already is sort of agnostic to boot choice and usually gets a mek so it's not a stretch to go up to the greaves. It still seems like BoTs is a better extension, but the 15 armor for heroes under 20% seems pretty interesting.

At the very least in games with dispellable silences it seems really useful.

It also seems like Oct core would possibly be more useful for Necro than Lotus? You're potentially talking about big HP boosts on Necro every 3.75s (not to mention the faster healing of allies) and a massive recovery from ult targets.

I am walking home, but specifics would be appreciated.

For most new item changes; I was cautious to leave it situational and will slowly remove them; similar as I did for Bottle when it was changed in recent patches.

Good idea, it would stop the Bloodstone chanting I get a lot about the guide. Will definitely look into it when I get home.





For Dark Seer, I figured so as well, but was unsure in terms of priority.

Alchemist Lotus Orb instead of Black King Bar in Situational Items? No
Alchemist Moon Shard to Situational Items? No
Juggernaut revert back to old build (max spin)? no comment
Juggernaut Remove Mask of Madness, include battlefury? no comment
Centaur Warrunner Prioritization of Heaven's Halberd, Pipe of Insight and Aghanim's Scepter is unsure. Most games blink aghs bkb or blink bkb aghs
Death Prophet Glimmer Cape, Core Items? NO
Doom Enchanted Mango for Jungling? no
Doom Shift to carry build: Silver Edge, Moon Shard? no
Dragon Knight Glimmer Cape? no
Faceless Void How to build up his attack speed? same as always
Invoker New Skill Build? no
Legion Commander Silver Edge worthwhile? Shadow Blade still has a mana cost that chips off LC. no
Lone Druid Mjollnir still good on Bear or just rush Moon Shard first (thus Moon Shard is Extension)? never moon shard
Meepo Glimmer Cape or is that just a cutesy/novel idea? no
Mirana Chang Mirana's Skill Build to be less noob-friendly, but more expected way to be played? dunno what skill build is
Naga Siren Aghanim's Scepter situationally worthwhile for Naga Siren? technically support naga makes 42% heal in full ult but no its bad
Nature's Prophet Aghanim's Scepter still sounds iffy, thoughts? bad
Nature's Prophet Glimmer Cape for Core - Pusher? NO
Night Stalker Aghanim's Scepter is decent, but I find it isn't prioritized. it should be
Oracle Eul's Scepter Situational? no
Oracle Solar Crest Core? NO
Skywrath Mage Can't find anything to really change for him, neither as midlane or roamer, suggestions? isnt he fine
Sniper Nothing to really change? He's just been nerfed + Mask of Madness nerf. mom is probably bad now since u relied on that MS really badly
Templar Assassin Glimmer Cape as Situational Items? NO
Undying Lotus Orb situational? Any validity in that? actually the stats are good on undying but the item is permanently situational
Ursa Item build needs massive reworking since his ult and strength no longer accounted for. not really u still build blink bkb hex/basher with lifesteal in there often. its not like skadi is bad just because the hp doesnt give u damage its still good
Ursa Thinking Solar Crest could have a higher priority of core or extension... no
Viper Glimmer Cape core instead of Mekansm? Magic Resist not really needed however. no
Weaver Max Geminate Attack now? no
Windranger Change to Slahser's Build? yes
