In an ideal world I think PA builds like vanguard aquila into deso into abyssal into daedalus (yes daedalus) but u still don't shove waves well all u can do is fight like that which is kinda ass. U do own fights though. PS insert BKB wherever but definitely after deso otherwise u have vanguard bkb and don't do anything at all I'm not really a carry player tho also im bad etc I think the vanguard-deso-bkb-abyssal type build is pretty solid. Sure you don't push out creep waves fast, but you're still reasonably good at taking out Roshan and towers so it's not like your team is hopeless at objective gaming. Either BFury or Deso would be situational if not core though. Seems reasonable enough to imply that if you don't get one you get the other. | ||

I feel Bfury does not have as much value long-term as I thought when you can just Blink/Dagger + Deso damage farm most lanes relatively fast. Vanguard + Aquila mitigates any health loss from jungling and mana from spamming your spells. Today's stream was a lot of fun. I learned a lot about Abaddon, Phantom Assassin and more. | ||

He's played that way in like 90% of pubs and he's not some super meta hero where a new way of playing is about to trickle down. | ||

It's probably the thing I've noticed the most in most of my matches whereas I never see them ever support. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/mIDpU3w.png) Another bug. This time, it causes the Nature's Prophet Hero Build to be completely removed from in-game as from any Hero Build Steam Community Listing for Nature's Prophet. Won't load for current subscribed users, won't appear in the listing for new users to find. | ||

Puck i would still say blink before Veil, i havent seen pro pucks lately for some reason but i can imagine like 99% of them going Null -> Bottle -> Boots -> Blink -> Veil -> Eul -> Aghs -> luxury. Keep DP as it is, Veil is still super good even if people skip it, prolly just games where line up was more physical damage oriented (slardar dazzle etc.) where they skipped Veil. WD wants to have atleast one point in w for sure, makes pushing after few kills so much easier, only downside is lack of early higher lvl of maledict but that skill is already too unreliable to max it first. Gyro no off. period. SF can build Aghs but i wouldnt put it Core, situationally good but dunno if its worth it to put into guide, hard to tell. Fun for sure. NP i would go back to one build with Phase Drums Mael into right click + hex. Easy to execute, high teamfight potential with high farm rate and early item timings, still doesnt make split pushing impossible if needed. Also im not a huge fan of Midas NP, u are not lvl dependent and just delay ur global presence potential by 2k gold because u have no items or damage to contribute to fights. WK Echo is fine, gives all the mana regen and mana pool needed, radi+echo doesnt add up tho, if u build Radi, u want to get items to stay alive, not items that make u hit like a truck. Also WK Radi is not the most reliable way to play the hero, Treads Armlet Blink etc. should be still fine. Void, keep it as it is, i dont see manta being Core, if u are offlane Void ur priority shouldnt be to make sure u hit hard, u should make sure can initiate reliably and stay alive further to provide aura and slow to ur team after the chrono. Blink Vlads BKB AC all better here. | ||

I've also played her mid to see how that went because realistically she can farm using dagger if the lane is hard to start, then use it to out-harass the other midlaner once she's a bit stronger. will report back when i achieve consistency ---------- WK echo sabre is a necessity and is completely separate from a radiance build ---------- DP veil is too good. remember that her soul siphon is percentage based, so removing enemy's magic resistance (also percentage-based) is quite nice. it also gives her some tank-ability to be able to soul siphon during a team fight. going 2x null talisman early is already good, so this just naturally builds off of that. wand is debatable. I'm not 100% there. ---------- Riki is a roamer that can transition into a core if he does really well. putting him offlane is silly because his lack of lane presence alerts teams that he is roaming on them..unpredictability is part of the reason heroes like bounty and riki are successful roamers..you have to be aware that you could get ganked at any time and it forces sentries in pretty much every lane. ---------- SF agha is another build I've been playing around with. i've experienced a higher level of success with yasha into agha. the movement speed allows him to move between camps and lane faster and it reduces his reliance on razes to cut through creeps. that said, blink is a similar cost and allows for blinking, then ulting in an ideal position. this is something else that i've been playing around with, but agha, to me, is now a core item. also..refresher >>>> octarine with an agha build. ---------- WD single point in heal is beyond valuable. ---------- puck - veil before blink is good for the same reasons i listed from DP, more so because he can still initiate with orb. i have been literally crushed with this build after building a HUGE lead and dominating the puck mid. the burst that can come from him + some other magic dmg is insane. ---------- silencer - believe it or not, again, veil first has been my build and i haven't lost with it yet this patch. i go veil into utility every game, no lothar. that said, i can see why some people are getting the shadow blade. I'm on the fence about it because it doesn't offer any form of stats to improve his survivability, but its still ok. i wouldn't get it just for the +aspd either because his agi gain is absurd this patch. you right click soooooo fast even if you don't build for it. ---------- WR - I've seen a lot of offlane WR this patch and I'm not impressed. i still think she's better mid. situationally vs melee cores, she's fine but she won't last hit if she's being zoned and she needs gold, not just XP to be successful, especially at lower levels of play. shackle still doesn't make sense to me tho XD ---------- Gyro offline makes zero sense. that hero has NO attack range lol. originally wasn't gonna comment on everything but i felt obligated to XD .. let me know what you think | ||

"Roaming" is not a title category, it has to be set as either offlane/middle/jungle/core/support, so I can't put "roaming" except as a sub-title ok ok isn't it too telegraphed without blink? Orb, veil, ult, silence? yes that was my feeling as well, not sure about veil per seAlready have a mid core, need something else because she cannot safe lane.
