Tried a few games using your Abaddon guide. Every single time, I felt like I needed Force Staff.

IMO linkens should be under situational, because i've seen weavers pick it up even when there are no targeted stuns (which is really good for a weaver, and probably the only circumstance i would pick him) Natures - there's not really much to the hero although im surprised blink dagger is missing oh and tinkers are typically going for some variation 2-2-0 build before maxing march IIRC one last edit..i hate you for JUST putting force staff in for abaddon..would have saved me a million in a half times over the course of the last game i played 
It's near core and very much desired for a hero that needs a variety of situational positioning.

but does he rly need a variety of situational positioning? hes perfect happy to sit in the middle of a fight, and in the era of glimmer capes and solar crests, i think those are better items to get than force staff.

Fortunately they're already in situational as well.

it depends on the situation (hence, situational hehehehe). i think that the force staff is less for abaddon and more for his carry that is getting chain stunned or slowed after the first aphotic shield. glimmer is useful if he's just taking spell dmg, but the force staff is helpful if he's being locked down and you need to get him out of there.

I'm going to start updating hero builds' hero general description. It still works though character limit is bugged (basically there is no character limit, but in-game, it gets cut-off; so it's hilariously stupid).

Not sure why you removed Heart from Naix.

I didn't see it being bought over the other extension items, so I opted it out for more damage, especially since we pushed S&Y and Armlet to Core.

I'd still buy Heart more often than Deso, tbh.
