furion glimmer cape is almost good actually i should be less definitive there
not as a pushing item but a cheaper way to force supports to buy dust although shadowblade is still much much better for not much more gold.

When I look at Moon Shard, I, as flawed and tired as I am, keep comparing if it is cheaper than Mjollnir or Assault Cuirass. I understand they are distinct however.

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


Welp, that quells many fears.

Alchemist Mid: rethink skill build/build

Centaur: I made core Tranq -> Blink -> Wand -> Aghs and removed BKB; Pipe is Extension.

Enchantress: Add Ring of Basi to Early Game

Leshrac: Bloodstone Core, Octarine Extension

Lone Druid: Aghanim's Extension?

Mirana: Current Mirana build is max Starfall, was thinking of going max Arrow.

Nature's Prophet: Figured a cheaper Glimmer Cape over Shadow Blade would be viable.

Night Stalker: Aghs Extension

Sniper: What's the alternative?

Undying; I'll update Undying

Ursa: Dunno if Vlad's is necessary now.

Tinker: Update.

Windranger: I'll update.

I figured; it's more about figuring priority out; maybe we can opt Aghs to be later.

max starfall is for core mirana, max arrow is for roaming mirana; dunno which mirana you're referring to

the max starfall is not for being "noob-friendly" it's because starfall is just more guaranteed damage and more efficient farming (even if you land every arrow, you'd rather have more points in starfall if you're able to cast it as followup every time); the reason roaming mirana doesn't get it is because she has mana problems and she doesn't level up fast enough

ursa's build never took his ult into account in the first place rofl

I will be going to bed; rest my eyes and recuperate. Tomorrow I will make initial fixes to a bunch of guides.

Ah yes, that's what was the flaw in my guide for Mirana. I never decided actually kept max Starfall because it assured damage over Arrow.

I counted Ursa's build in part to his ult + Vlads to ensure you have high health when killing Roshan.

As someone in that reddit thread pointed out, the alch skill builds seem to be the wrong way around for lane and mid. I consider max acid to be superior in mid, and max concoction to be superior in lane IF you have lane partners who can set you up for a good concoction. Thoughts?

It depends on your lane opponent and teamcomp more than which lane you're in.

Thougts on glimmer cape Abbadon? Seems to mesh extremely well with his skill set. Cheap (ish) support item that can help save people especially because he can purge dust. Also lets him escape most situations because he fades back after purging dust.

Thoughts on Octarine Core on Outworld Devourer?

For starters, it's another Mystic Staff item, but it also tanks him up and allows him to lifesteal of Arcane Orb.

Maybe a lategame BKB replacement?

bkb's primary purpose isn't to avoid magic damage but to avoid being disable-locked, which octarine doesnt really help with

maybe a hex replacement if your team already has enough disable/control

This was the first issue when I remade both guides; both builds were valid and I couldn't make up my mind. I agree though that today; I think Acid Spray max in lane is better.

Sounds a bit novel, maybe situational? I'll write it down and look at his build.

Whenever I look at Octarine Orb; I think of its two main functions: Spell Vamp + Cooldown reduction.
Is he too squishy for the spell vamp to be worthwhile and 2. does he really take advantage of the CD? (for 1 spell) over Refresher's Orb?




To do:

1. Update General Descriptions of heroes
2. Update Personal Note written in the stats section of the guides
3. Add new contributors to list
4. Make new guides

Abaddon: Glimmer Cape situational?

Alchemist Mid/Lane: rethink skill build/build

Axe: Situational BKB

Centaur: I made core Tranq -> Blink -> Wand -> Aghs and removed BKB; Pipe is Extension.

Enchantress: Add Ring of Basi to Early Game

Enigma: Glimmer Cape situational

Leshrac: Bloodstone Core, Octarine Extension

Lone Druid: Aghanim's Extension?

Medusa: BKB situational

Mirana: Current Mirana build is max Starfall, was thinking of going max Arrow.

Nature's Prophet: Figured a cheaper Glimmer Cape over Shadow Blade would be viable.

Necrophos: Octarine

Night Stalker: Aghs Extension

Sniper: What's the alternative?

Undying; I'll update Undying

Ursa: Dunno if Vlad's is necessary now.

Timber: Enchanted Mangos

Tinker: Update.

Tusk: Update skill build, arcane instead of phase

Windranger: I'll update.

i think medusa bkb should always be considered. magic damage you arent taking increases your EHP and time spent not being disabled = more damage output

for mirana, the difference is if you are playing a roaming/support style, or a more farming style.

Personally, I do a bit of roaming with her.
