Consider adding radiance to core viper. Phase boots/dragon lance/radiance. You take the spell lifesteal talent and you are a monster. The nethertoxin magic resist buffs your radiance dmg and you leech off of it. Incredibly hard to kill by any solo hero with miss chance and magic resist.

That seems situational rather than core, also i'm not sure if it's worth to build radiance on viper.

Do you even spell lifesteal from items? I thought they changed it to fix invulnerable qop with blademail and octarine a couple months ago.

You do not spell lifesteal from damage with the "no-reflect" tag or however you want to put it (stuff that blademail won't reflect, such as blademail itself). As you said, this was at least in part to solve the qop blademail invincibility shit. However, this doesn't apply to the vast majority of items only blademail and I think nyx carapace basically, plus stuff like pugna ward, tekkis mines, think that's it.

It's worthwhile to build Radiance if you're playing him like Bloodseeker in team fights. But as no one has figured out a standard way to construct item progression around it, what's the point of adding it?

I don't think mid Viper even wants Q at level 1 anymore! He wants to trade mana-efficient harass until level 2, then start the poison attacking.

lvl1 poison attack still allows you to harass without drawing creep aggro and also slow the enemy a lot for possible lvl1 gank or just mess with their last hits. LVL 1 q slow is a lot better now than it used, up from 10% to 25%, but it does have only 50% uptime so thats a downside.

I do agree its not as strong harassing tool as it was before, and its really expensive (40 mana level 1) but against most of the mid heroes u are not going to get a lot out of lvl1 w or lvl1 e.

Especially now that PMS is gone, melee mids are not as common as they used to, so lvl1 nethertoxin on the creeps is not as beneficial as it could be.

All and all its again one of those situational things u have to consider which way u want go with it, i would stay on lvl1 q atleast for now.
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

Atos probably has to be discarded for Visage. With the Familiar burst damage now obsolete, he doesn't scale well with utility items at all. Nullifier deserves a spot in the Extension category.

Spirit Vessel may replace Mek on offlane Undying.

Diffusal Blade/Manta isn't core on Faceless Void anymore.

Kaya is definitely recommended for Storm Spirit and Zeus as their first core item.

A lot of Viper's items are prioritized incorrectly thanks to the rework. Q/E is probably the most unforgiving skill build possible, so I don't know why it's being advocated as standard either.

Ok Nullifier.

No Atos? I thought it was still good with Familiar stuns. Seems to still be the way.

All guides are updated Skills/Talents/Items.

Will work on descriptions later. Very tired.

All is left to do:

1. Update LiquidDota + Stats sheet Renamed Hero Builds
2. Contact and add Patreon Rewards where applicable
3. Update thank you list + thank Twitch viewers for their support (B. Jacobson) + feedbackers
4. Revive dead builds and change them into duplicates if practical
5. Create announcement post: collage of all changes + hours + prep. posts
5.1 Make comment about new Patreon rewards, Twitch stream and thanking Twitch viewers for their attendance and constant motivational support / Will continue to stream to see where it goes
5.2 Add that you will rewrite all hero descriptions + remove some

So have you thought of having the Winter Wyvern guide max Arctic Burn second and get Cold Embrace later? Might be wrong here, but I feel WW is more useful in teamfights when Arctic Burn is on a lower CD.

Some feedback on heroes I play a lot:

Clockwerk - maybe add a roaming/support guide for him, it is very popular these days to not play him on the offlane, a lot of aspects are probably the same, maybe it is even enough to add a note that he fits the roaming support position as well?

Vengeful spirit (Core) - I'm very sure maxing W or even E is the way to go on core venge these days. Reference for this would be games by Minseski, CoL and Mid or feed in the past week

Viper (Core) - Magic - Shivas guard is at least a situational item on the hero now, it is very useful against attack heavy teams and has great synergy with the toolkit.
I also would add that maxing E is the way to go in matchups against other harass heavy heroes like QoP, Zeus, Sniper etc.

Hope this helps, thanks for your work!

Not adding any more builds for the foreseeable future.

We're seeing three different builds Venge: Max Q, early Max W into E and then we're seeing Max E then W.

: no room

Thnaks for your help.
