Dota 2 General Chat XXIII - You can't go wrong with 6 boots - Games

[QUOTE=mixshifter;40246799]Would Power Treads on Zeus be terrible if you're not planning on having mana problems?[/QUOTE] If you're going to get something besides Arcane, go Tranquil boots. It's cheep and it gives him good protection and regen, and goes well with a soul ring. [editline]11th April 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Belivo;40246849]If you're not going for Arcanes you should either go BoT or Phase boots. Zeus isn't that reliant on his boots, but Arcanes are the strongest ones on him before he has massed manaregen/-pool.[/QUOTE] Those are good too

[QUOTE=mixshifter;40246841]Well if you don't plan on harassing and only plan to use your abilities when initiating, I hadn't had many mana problems with Zeus so as long as I played passive until we went in for the kill.[/QUOTE] Both of his non-ult spells are awesome beyond just nuking. You can harass, farm, hell, true vision from Bolt. But more importantly, their cooldowns are tiny. 1.75 sec on Arc Lightning and 6 on Bolt. Sure, conserving mana is neat skill indeed, but why forgoe Arcanes for other boots if you can dish out that bonus Bolt + Arc harassment for free every once in a while + worry less about prolonged exposure to teamfight and running out of mana.

Alright, was just wondering. Thanks guys. :)

i have started going phase/bottle and getting arc lightning at level 4 instead of level 1 and till later I only use it while killing stuff to get procs on the passive

[QUOTE=mixshifter;40246799]Would Power Treads on Zeus be terrible if you're not planning on having mana problems?[/QUOTE] Manaboots generally always, +250 mana and the active too. And you can build it into bloodstone if things are going well. [sp]Pls never get aghs on zeus[/sp]

[QUOTE=Chickens!;40247042] [sp]Pls never get aghs on zeus[/sp][/QUOTE] Are you saying that because you hate Zeus's ultimate or because you truly believe it's bad on Zeus? :v

Mana Boots are all but core on Zeus, honestly. The bonus mana lets you cast more often off cooldown, and the active ability helps you AND your team out. Oh, and i can personally recommend a Refresher Orb if you've got money burning a hole in your pocket. They really CAN'T run from heaven when it decides to double-check.

I personally like to always build both Agh's and Refresher on Zeus. Heaven double-checks while also dealing more damage.

Build Force Staff / Blink Dagger on Zeus pls then you don't die like paper.

[QUOTE=mixshifter;40247080]I personally like to always build both Agh's and Refresher on Zeus. Heaven double-checks while also dealing more damage.[/QUOTE] aghs and refresher on zeus is hilarious if they have something like a pugna or a sniper you can just kill them in their fountain.

[QUOTE=Bryceanater;40247055][t]http://puu.sh/2ybPj[/t] YEA I PLAYED AXE FOR THE FIRST TIME, USED THE GET RIPED AXE GUIDE. I FEEL PUUUUUUUUUMPED[/QUOTE] I love your steam avatar.

Went Drum, Euls, SnY(later built into Halberd before all the omg SnY is garbage folks pop off), Phase on Axe. Shit was crazy fun and actually effective.

Eul's is amazing on Axe. Completely solves his mana problems, sets up perfectly for Call, gives movement speed and using Call followed by Eul's on yourself is a free Call where you don't take damage.

[QUOTE=Gekkosan;40243772]Used to keep that helmet too, probably the next best thing after default helmet, hell your Sven is almost exactly like mine, but I just felt the blue-white-gray-RED didn't seem fitting, esp. with the Ruling Sword which I also use.[/QUOTE] I wish you could change Svens leg armour, because I hate how you have the full set of the red armour but you cant change the legs, so it looks weird.

[QUOTE=mixshifter;40247066]Are you saying that because you hate Zeus's ultimate or because you truly believe it's bad on Zeus? :v[/QUOTE] He's saying dont go scepter first Here's how you should build Arcanes --- > Euls/Force staff(Euls solves all mana problems and gives some nifty shit to zeus) --- > Refresher --- > Scepter/Bloodstone/Shivas/Sheep Stick/E-blade/Dagon All of those are nifty picks on a late game zeus.

[QUOTE=mixshifter;40247066]Are you saying that because you hate Zeus's ultimate or because you truly believe it's bad on Zeus? :v[/QUOTE] I'm saying it cause the money is better spent on Veil (Pure damage spells vs people without MR items) and Force Staff (Survivability and positioning), and your luxury item should be refresher, cause 2 ults is better than 1.3 ults. If you need Aghs for the stats you're better off with Bloodstone for the infinite mana.

[QUOTE=dire_luck;40246769]None of those look particularly good. Might be why they're not actually in.[/QUOTE] I think they're all WIP. I mean the Warlock demon looks really rough.

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;40248634]I'm actually pretty sure that the Sacred Relic is one of her sisters(?) [editline]11th April 2013[/editline] Also, Radiance on Medusa is fucking beautiful.[/QUOTE] Her lore says that she became that monster After his sisters were kidnaped. Her sisters Can't be monsters, and they might even be still alive. The relic is a golden scepter with a decorated skull on it.

It's generally conceded that they're dead, and who is to say that they didn't have faces just like that, but rather she just has an ugly one now?

As I said before, she turned into a gorgon, exchanging her beauty for power.

I thought she (and her sisters) was always a Gorgon, but she just later traded beauty for power? At least, that's what it is in Greek mythology.
