Mjollnir batrider. It sounds silly but by god is it fun. Tank up a bit, mjollnir yourself, wade in spanning napalm, laugh a LOT.

Tinker. So very much fun to play. I usually get:
Bottle, Boots of Travel, Scythe of Vyse. From here on it depends on what the team needs. I like getting Force Staff, Shiva's or Dagon, depending on what we need.

Windrunner is another favorite. I usually get utility items on her and sometimes wards if necessary. Force Staff, Mekasm etc.
This post is clearly not a hurr, as you can see from the graph, the durr never intersects with the derp.

At the moment I'm really liking Windrunner, shes so versatile. I always go treads->force staff and then usually orchid->MKB, but there are so many builds. If I'm with friends I go Tranquil and Mek but that's not nearly as fun.


Threads and Forcestaff?

@Celerity: I absolutely love windrunner as well. I find that phase boots are pretty awesome on her as well. My general build is phase - force staff -scythe. Orchid/Scythe is very much a matter of matchup/preference but I also like the full support build as well with mek ect. Her mobility is amazing as well. Overall, an amazing hero.



I agree on wr beeing so versatile its fantastic :D I started playing her with forcestaff, but after a while realised i just dont need it.
Getting some ekstra 250ish hitpoints and you surivie long enough to get away with windrun.
(Or just windrun away from the inital danger anyways)

Windrunner and the rod of atos ftw! (Or straight to sheepstick if your farm is better than mine^^)


Edit:Seems she's quite popular






Forcestaff can be used on team members, not only on you.
One forcestaff per team is pretty strong imo (Unless you try to push-win before minute 25-30) Also, you can position yourself a lot better for shackleshots with Forcestaff and still have one escape mechanism. Or push your carry out of enigma ult / over ledges / out of range for a follow-up stun / sprout / etc. / etc. / etc. Push enemy SK that activated ulti over a ledge.

Forcestaff has a million and two uses, I think if you know how to handle it and remember it at all times it can easily be the difference between a win and a loss.

Favourite:

WR: Phaseboots - Wand - Basilius(if you don't already have 2 or more) - Forcestaff - Hex
or as support
WR: Manaboots - Wand - Basi - Meka/Pipe (depending on the enemy damagetype) - Euls/Hex/Forcestaff and ofc wards+smokes+Dusts-if needed

Skills depend, If sololane I skill windrun once on lvl 1 then max powershot/shackle
If trilane - Max powershot/shackle no windrun till you start to roam/need it
if dual lane - like solo but windrun on lvl 2/4 depending on their go-potential

Ult always on 10/11, level 1 ulti with no extra damage from items is about as good as not skilling at all.

You don't say ^^

I agree completly, i just love using forcestaff, on any hero almost. But i feel its kinda like going vanguard on Dk, is he not tanky enough already? /Personal preference tho (And im not a great player, but i <3 wr

I read somewhere that a just a sage mask gives more mana than basi ring once u have more than 32 int. Not sure how reliable that source is tho, anyone know? (Since im a fan of powershot harrasing

You're not getting Basilius solely for the mana regen on Windrunner. You're getting it for the long lane creep control.

If I were mid, I would get Bottle instead and skip Basilius.

The mana regen is totally true. Just a shame sobi doesnt give you 6 free damage and an armour aura.

So many fun heroes to play! Can't deside on a favourite. Lifestealer, Faceless Void, Furion comes to mind!

Storm Spirit or QoP with straight Sheepstick + TP scrolls, into Orchid(Storm)/Desolator(QoP) and just playing mad aggressive all over the place. Or just Slardar with a blink key and maxed sprint. Just really fun to play hyper-aggressive when the hero allows it.

For right now, my main would have to be Morphling. I just love the feel of the hero and survivabiluty late game when you just toss on Strength while running away. I usually go for treads early on followed by dominator and than Satanic. I like going this way because the early agility helps with the creeps and reaver kicks in with morph so all that strength helps a lot.

I am debating on what to do next; it is a tossup between juggernaut or drow. My itemization for juggernaut is a bit iffy, still working on it.

I'm a Disruptor player. I start by buying a ward for my offlaner and the courier. My friends and I will run a safe tri-lane and I'll keep myself busy stacking and pulling/harassing if needed. I also buy tangos some claritys and a branch or two. I then buy my boots and build myself a bracer for some stats. Then upgrade my brown boots to arcanes. If my team needs a makanism I'll build it, but I'd prefer to go straight to aghanims scepter. Usually aghs is the only big item i can end up getting due to my low farm priority (position 5). If the game does go on for a longer time, I end up buying a euls and sheepstick. All while leaving a slot for wards, dust, or smoke.

One of the following;
Zeus Boots -> Bottle -> Arcane Boots -> Soul Ring -> Bloodstone -> Blink -> BoTs
Clinkz Basi -> Boots -> Soul Ring -> PTs -> Deso -> Eul's/BKB -> Hex

Both can deviate so hard from this build at any point; Zeus for a less greedy Force Staff/Eul's with Arcanes and Clinkz for a really early BKB if getting pressured. Against the Bounty/Bara I just go Eul's first.

I'm a boring person who likes to sink a lot of gold into saving my stupid teammates so it'd probably be something like
CM Tranquils>Drum/Force>Glimmer
Or just Arcanes/Tranquils>Force>Glimmer on any support.
Heaven's Halberd is the most criminally underbought item in Dota. Together we can stop this.
