IMO its the opposite. you're getting extra HP from the aghs and in a situation where you would normally need to pop the heal and cast ulti, its not as necessary bc you're slightly tankier lvl 4 maledict gives you 320 dmg assuming no dmg or healing is taken. add in the bonus dmg from the dmg taken from death ward and you deal a TON of damage at lvl 11 with agha ulti. but like i mentioned, one of the most important reasons you want the max maledict before the heal is bc by the time you hit lvl 12 when you get your 2nd pt, bkbs will be out..so its like why bother leveling it bc front liners will all have spell immunity | ||

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=129191918 There's really 2 builds, one is maxing maledict first, the other is skipping it entirely. Cask can do far more if maxed first than 320 damage to a hero just from bounces from a much longer range than maledict. I suspect the single point in heal is from when heal wasn't proportional in mana (level 1 was much more efficient), but it's still appropriate. What's there right now skillbuild-wise is a pretty good compromise imo. The maledict max is a lot rarer than the other build, anymore but it's been a decent build ever since maledict range was buffed from 400-550. And maledict is a lot more potent in pubs, generally it's worth leveling. | ||

1 - Can use mana to sustain self and another character in lane 2 - The double-speed healing means one's team can disengage from a fight, heal up, and reengage with the next creep wave. 3 +4 - Can use heal inside a teamfight to repair a significant fraction of incoming DPS, as long as the other team can't focus fire well. 1, 2 and 4 are all reasonable breakpoints. | ||

I'm seeing a mix of builds for Zeus between what it is now and delaying Static Field until 6. For Witch Doctor, I feel the current skill build is lot easier to play and more cohesive towards what the team would want [especially with more mistakes being made and execution being weaker]. With Maledict maxed, you're constantly starved for mana on top of the item build where we rush Aghanim's immediately whereas with this build; having only to initiating with your Q, turning on your heal and focusing on key positioning with your ultimate sounds good. Item build-wise; we could skip Arcane; I would prefer having Glimmer Cape there, but we can discuss it more. My biggest fear with Witch Doctor is mana consumption and positioning when using your ultimate so I don't get interrupted, I feel the current build relaxes those two areas. I also updated Luna's skill build (pre-6): Q, E ,E, Q, Q, R Q | ||

+14 dmg for ur team is probably better than a 75 dmg (more like 56) nuke, but it depends on how much cc ur team has as well. the moon beam might just secure that last hit on a fleeing hero. | ||

i think early on, depending on the lane, stick is useful because you're sorta squishy..but you want the aquilla +treads so spending the extra gold on completing the wand isn't particularly high of a priority | ||
