Jinada second vs. Shadow Walk second is like 50/50 on support BH, and you almost never max Shadow Walk before Jinada on core BH. The reason being that Shadow Walk is more useful overall if you don't have items and can't get in and use Jinada in fights--core BH gets to the point where he can once he gets some track kills along with his normal farm, but support BH needs considerably more to actually be able to justify getting in and using Jinadas on low CD like that, so it depends on his relative item/level progression.

You either need to split these into 2 separate guides because of the variable skill orders, or end up with something that's reasonable both ways (which is going to be 2 Shadow Walk->Max Jinada or 3 Shadow Walk->Max Jinada).

Since 6.84, shouldn't Earth Spirit max Boulder Smash (Q) first and Geomagnetic Grip (E) second, instead of the other way around? They now scale exactly the same way in terms of damage (+50 damage each level) and duration (+0.5 seconds each level), but Boulder Smash additionally gets a reduced cooldown while Geomagnetic Grip's cooldown is static.


I'll take another look at this, haven't played ES in awhile (nor well)

I'll fix this as well, I read it over ESL One and found it made pretty much sense, also saw it in a couple of higher player builds.

All Bloodseeker builds done
Double-look at Earth Spirit done, looks like both are valid
Fix Tusk + Update done
Remake Broodmother entirely
Check if Beastmaster guides have been fixed (currently bugged) done, not fixed

I think jungle BS still gets 1 in w sometime before level 10 since the value point makes ur ganks wayyy better.
I think mid BS probably gets 2 in q fairly fast for the permanent uptime although that could be wrong

I figured BS Mid gets the point in W since he gets levels faster and no point in W for Jungle since he is much slower.

also I added Hand of Midas to the guides (I think lane and jungle), I forgot to write it, thoughts?

I mean there's no law against 2-1-2 for example, thirst scales well but ur hero doesn't stop existing if ur 1 point down on it.

I don't personally like midas bs but it's not unviable

Also power treads instead of Phase Boots

I'm basing it a lot on Secret as well though.

i wouldn't ever midas on jungle bs and i always get 2 1 2 because even the first point in w is quite a bit of damage with bloodrage applied on yourself and forces people to eat the silence or run during rupture (level 1 rupture damage is kind of underwhelming but a lot of people don't know that)

Let's see how it goes, I have a feeling BS will be explored even more.

I did it for Lane and Jungle. See it a lot more in Dotabuff, could be just an effect of ESL though

Yeah this. The only time I'd go midas on the hero was if I was safelane and I got it at like 4 or 5 minutes bc you want to be fighting with him. Even then I'm not sure it's worth not immediately starting to get actual items bc of the hero.

E: as I'm thinking about it I think midas is better off in situational. Bc if you're able to start your item progression with fb gold, you're last hitting well etc, vs some lineups, you're gonna wanna get going early and the hero kills will quickly add up. Whereas some lineups you're okay with delaying the item progression in favor of quicker levels and having more money later.

Is the average pub player competent enough to make that call? Or bc it's in core, are we going to see 10 minute midas builds in all of our pubs bc they use your guide

Just keep in mind that midas is a mid-fight heal on BS which isn't irrelevant and also that hitting level 11 is very important as level 1 rupture kinda blows. G played safelane BS in an official today and went midas, not that its good every game but it is being done.

I'm not saying that it's bad or anything. I just think it's more situational than it is core.

Btw: I'm thinking about the target audience of these guides, not G and other pro players

how many players following this guide are gonna hold midas cd for a midfight heal rfl

the point about level 11 is true though and bs's early ganks probably arent too item dependent... yea idk it's probably fine to have midas

I just worry about the title "core."

Like you gotta remember that when you say something is core players interpret that as "I must get this item no matter what" so you're gonna get some shitty players that go for 10-15 minute midases ruining your pub experience.

Again I don't think there's anything wrong with it and it's better/worse in some games more than others. I just know how strictly people follow these guides. You can tell who is following a torte approved guide
