Can't you just sell the PMS when you get 6 slotted then sell the wand or Iron Talon for a major item?

So like PMS, Iron Talon, Treads, Wand, Vlads, TP Scroll. Then drop PMS for Yasha then Talon or Wand for Aghs.

Wand > Talon, but yeah you don't hold onto Talon for long. It's not expensive to buy/sell, anyway.

Idk I think bat should keep BoTs, even if you add tranqs. I've never really understood the metric you use to decide whether a hero lists BoTs or not, but bat would be a top 5-10 BoT hero to me. He's highly active, always wants to be in the action, and movespeed is very valuable on him.

If you want to free up space I think you should ditch both atos and necro, and move some of BKB/aghs/sheep to situational as well as aether. Bat probably buys BoTs like 10 times for every necro he picks up, even after tranqs.


Medallion clinkz was really just an EG thing; it became standard because they were the only ones running clinkz around TI5 and Fear tended to get medallion. He obviously doesn't play clinkz anymore, but I suspect it's still fine. For these guides I think it's situational.


I think utility BH is a good idea.


Boots on clock have always been a personal preference thing. Do whatever. I agree treads is slightly more common than phase.

Thanks for the input and context, it actually helps a lot to see from another perspective that understands it usually better than me.

I'm going to go through the whole list before applying changes. I'm only up to Ds, so it'll take me a fair bit (a week or more depending on work at the office).

Hopefully the actual Shanghai Major event will determine if the builds are accurate after I apply the changes and we can move into reforming the entire system to more core/support.

unsure about Enigma, not much data on him.

Bristleback's item description for Vanguard only talks about Crimson Guard.

It may also be worth adding something to Bristle's Aghs description to note that getting Aghs removes a reliable way to pop Linken's Sphere for your team. You can also add that Bristle Aghs lets him keep 7 warpath stacks up without needing a nearby goo target or having to face the enemy.

Centaur, i know he benefits from the magic resist because of Double Edge but Pipe as a core item? no i dont think thats the way to go. I would rather see force staff in core than Pipe. AC/Shiva is debatable, if u are offlane Cent its fairly common to see one of the other cores (mid,carry) get AC so Shivas would be way to go in those situations. Plus Shivas solves all mana issues for rest of the game. Leveling is not a big deal i think, whether u max hoof stomp or double edge should depend on how easy the lane is (maxing double edge in easy lane imo). Value point in return could earlier but thats again situational.

Lich is using only 550g starting gold, u could at a clarity/branch because branch will go to mek anyways and clarity is fine u spam q a lot. Force staff and Glimmer are great for lich. I rarely get aghs on lich and even more rarely i have money to get hex so there could be stuff like lotus/solar/veil/linken/pipe in situational to make people get something useful earlier rather than saving for 5700g item with slow farmer. Aghs is hard one because in low pubs people are bad at delta splitting but then again u still want to have setup to make it bounce more.

For Gyro im huge fan of treads on gyro just because with treads u dont have 800hp at 15min with it. Dragon Lance is not an item for gyro because it makes ur flak cannon awkward to hit with (because u are further from ur main target, u are further from enemy supports so they might be out of range because of DL. I like it we are skipping Rapier because of obvious reasons. Mid gyro has no rocket at all, i dont know about that, i feel like it could be super good but i dont really play gyro mid, only safelane afk farmer till big item and win game after that. Other items are fine imo.

Then there is good old jakiro debate with maxing q over w or other way around. I think there is discussion about that earlier but didnt find it.

DK really wants and needs blink but then again do u need it in pubs if u have SB (where we want to go with the guide, "real" way to build or effective way to build in current level)?

DP i would max e over q and start with e. At lvl1 it deals (in average) 20+0,05x500hp / sec = 45/sec (4s, 180 in total), is more mana efficient and q has 8s cooldown lvl1. Plus there is the minor slow in e. Its obviously for rune fights but in lane u could argue getting lvl1 q is better for last hitting and harassing. U get instantly one charge to e when u lvl it so u dont have to wait for the charge
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you to their level and then beat you with experience. http://www.dotabuff.com/players/115305822 https://yasp.co/players/115305822

Centaur Pipe - Hood is a farming item. Centaur flash-farms with Double-Edge and Return, so more HP regen and magic resistance means more income. The current version just rolls the core Hood into a Pipe. Also, although the guide doesn't mention it, Barrier->Double Edge is a useful combo.

Gyro Treads - I do this sometimes. But when playing by the guide and not getting any Situational items, I instead solve this problem with an early ogre club. Phase Boots very good for chasing with Rocket Barrage when I'm not buying Drums.

Gyro(Mid) skills - Gyro(Mid) used to be the dedicated Homing Missile build; I don't know why it was changed.

Im fine with Core Hood but all the way up to Pipe, i dont know.

For Gyro i feel like timing window where u dont have SnY yet is so small u might aswell skip the Phase/Drums chasing power and go for straight SnY after Treads.

i usually go Starting items->Basi->Boots->Wand->Aquila->Treads->Belt->Band of Elvenskin->Sange/Yasha and i feel like the point where i would have drums ready im so far into SnY (if i skipped drums) already that Drums were not useful enough at that point (and u run out of slots faster too).

With your buildup do you usually have Yasha by level 7?
