Just a small typo-like mistake I found. In Bloodseeker's guide you write for the mkb: helps against evasion carries (void, pa).

But Mkb doesn't help vs. void as far as i know`?

You're right. That's an old description.

I'll fix it now.

How can a Kunkka not farm if the game goes bad? Seriously guys, this man hase a %100 cleave attack and 2 aoe spells.

its more about regen. kunkka doesn't benefit from items with lifesteal, so his farm is significantly slowed during any time in the jungle.

It's really insignificant, but there's a small typo in the lifestealer guide where you say "let's you take deal damage." It's pretty unimportant but just thought you should know.

I don't know how I feel about having force staff on there before Aghs. Aghs is just too important to make the hero work at all in the mid game.

if u dont have one of euls/force staff you will die way too much.
that is unless you plan on stealing your teammates farm in jungles/lanes and not participate in fights

I'd have to test the build out in games before I can make the switch as I am not sure which is more dire.

Honestly for bane I would still max nightmare before getting levels in enfeeble, the extra cast range is important for bane

I find it to situational while Q towards the mid game is pretty powerful and all-around good. The range is decent at 550 for Nightmare

I've seen people max out blur before blink strike on PA lately

Maxing tidebringer and torrent first on kunkka is awkward because your killing potential comes from x marks the spot. I've seen 1 in torrent, 2 in tidebringer and 2 in x by 5 work a lot better, since you can combo it by yourself. At any rate you should definitely get the last point of x marks the spot before level 25. The extra range is way more important than stats.

Aghs is way more important than force staff on techies. If you get in close enough to participate in a fight without it, you're going to die with or without a forcestaff. Force is important, but it doesnt win teamfights like aghs does.

i dont know how you guys actually build techies, but from what you guys are saying, you go arcanes -> agh with nothing in between. good luck farming aghanims in a timely manner when you are guaranteed to die in every fight. you might get some kills here and there and catch up with farm elsewhere, but the amount of gold/xp you feed in each teamfight death because you have no other items is gonna be too high for you to catch up. also, in the rare case you do actually catch up, techies is still techies. he doesnt win games on his own because he is reliant on the enemy not getting a gem

Except you ideally shouldn't be in the thick of fights ever as Techies, unless you're going for a suicide. Aghs allows you to contribute to teamfights without actually being too deep.
