earthshock is often the difference between getting a kill and not getting a kill... i'd get it at level 3 at the latest in lane (and arguably still by 5 in the jungle considering ursa ganks on the safe and midlane can happen)

Generally not since you want treads on necro most of the time for tankiness and for abusing toggling with ur spells and regen passive.

If you have mana boots and mek AND are slot constrained, sure. That doesn't happen very often, and when it does one would hope people could figure it out themselves.

yea honestly blink dagon is often better in pubs

actually im not sure if that's true but it certainly is more fun

early midas can be nice if you know your team's not gonna get run over

Probably, Bottle -> Treads -> Dagon -> Blink -> Aghanim's.
Still not sure if it is worthwhile.




On another note, we're seeing huge climbs in subscriptions:

Juggernaut: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=129083818 (995k)
Riki: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=128745244 (877k)
Phantom Lancer: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=129093311 (950k)

Massive jumps for a lot of guides, hoping for a massive jump of 3 million (as opposed to the usual 2-2.5 million)

-- Latest patch has really made a lot of low-ranking guides to be among the highest rated.
Specifically Leshrac and Lina who, if I recall, someone asked here why they were not popular at all.

Now they are, incredible to see live.

Was this a new guide or just really really impressive growth?

Lina (Middle) (317)


This is surprising since Lina Mid is popular now and the guide seems up to date with how mid lina is being played.

Some points re: Lone Druid

-Aghs is very much core after radiance, it lets you farm way faster

-MKB should be in situational items

-I've been taking a value point in rabid (usually at level 4), very good for pushing towers if your opponent leaves the lane

please dont get aghs on bear after radiance. Radi already increases your farm, and dropping 4.2k on an item thats not gonna help your bear live after they get enough damage to threaten it is gonna be bad.

Rabid before your ulti isnt worth it. If you want to take towers early you need to battlecry and have demolish on your bear. A point at rabid at level 8 or 9 is alright sometimes. Level 1 rabid is pretty bad.

MKB is really good tho.

Situationally I would never buy SnY on luna. Manta is way too good with glaives. Literally any other 4k item is better.

Yeah I don't see any point in radi->aghs on druid.

Half the point of radiance is to allow your bear to burn down waves while it's away from you. Having it hit them as well gives steeply diminishing returns, especially when the radi->AC timing is so central to the hero.

I haven't seen it gotten on Dotabuff all that much either, so I guess it really isn't all that worthwhile
