[QUOTE=Belivo;34477151]Love it how we have almost exatly the same builds. (I get bloodstone instead of another bracer, but I think you didn't have time to buy it I guess.)[/QUOTE] well yea, if i had the farm / opportunity then i'd have probably gotten a pipe or something but it is the best build imo

Is Bloodstone any good on Night Stalker ?

[QUOTE=Tokagero;34476793]Why does Clinkz have things like Skadi in his suggested items ? I guess you could alternate between flaming arrows and Skadi (Arrow, Skadi, Arrow, Skadi), but does it work actually ? How long does Skadi slow last anyway ? Also, on Ursa Daedalus doesn't work well with Overpower, what's the deal with "Crits", they are not orbs/unique attack modifiers, but I hear they replace some effects if they happen.[/QUOTE] Skadi is a buffplacer for ranged, so therefor it stacks with his fire arrows.

[QUOTE=CowThing;34476624]There's some things you don't really explain well. You didn't mention there is a set of barracks per lane, the way you put it sounds like there is just 1 set of barracks in the entire base. Also the starting gold bit is confusing, "4265 Gold as starting gold and splits into number of players in the team", So on a 5 man team everyone get 853 gold? I'm guess "used to pick a hero" means that picking a hero costs 250 gold, which leaves non-randomers with 603 gold? I don't think most new players think of it that way, they think of it as randoming gives you extra gold, you could probably explain this better or maybe give an example. There's also some grammar mistakes, I think a lot of the graphic you were trying too hard to simplify the subject, some things just need a few more words e.g. "When an enemy unit dies, experience are given to all heroes nearby" should be "When an enemy unit dies, experience is split between all heroes nearby". You didn't explain what the different damage types do.[/QUOTE] I did not make it.

[QUOTE=IAmAnooB;34477439]Skadi is a buffplacer for ranged, so therefor it stacks with his fire arrows.[/QUOTE] it's also an orb, and so is his fire arrow, not sure what you are trying to say here.

Today I saw a pub choosing Omniknight. I was pleased. Until I realised he was a russian kid who tried to build him as a Carry.

[QUOTE=Maruhai;34477431]Is Bloodstone any good on Night Stalker ?[/QUOTE] No, oh god, don't waste money like that! Edit; Bloodstone is more usefull on mages, but mostly only in steam-roll games. [editline]31st January 2012[/editline] I got a question now, can you push(with force staff) someone that is stunned? or trapped(ensnare, shackles, etc)?

why no timelock :(

why no ban leavers?

[QUOTE=pvt.meh;34480275]why no timelock :([/QUOTE] I only get Timelock at level 7. I think it's just my way to play. v:v:v

Razor is a much better carry than I first thought.

[QUOTE=Maruhai;34481041]I only get Timelock at level 7. I think it's just my way to play. v:v:v[/QUOTE] that's weird you could max backtrack at level 7 instead.

(I get bloodstone instead of another bracer, but I think you didn't have time to buy it I guess.)[/QUOTE] Between Drum, Arcane Boots and Blink Dagger (which you should get on every initiator ever) where the hell do you find the time/money to farm up a Bloodstone? And why would you get a Bloodstone on an initiator anyway? Shiva's Guard or Agh's are two much better options. Or wards. Not like you're that gear dependent anyway.

[QUOTE=pvt.meh;34481478]that's weird you could max backtrack at level 7 instead.[/QUOTE] Backtrack is better to max first if you're being harrassed a lot. Otherwise I do max Time Lock

Is a battlefury good to build on Skeleton King? I got one late game to help push back creep waves fast.

[QUOTE=pvt.meh;34481478]that's weird you could max backtrack at level 7 instead.[/QUOTE] I usually do it like this. Time Walk Backtrack Time Walk Backtrack Time Walk Chrono Sphere Time Lock Time Walk Backtrack Backtrack/Time Lock

[QUOTE=Smashman;34482365]Backtrack is better to max first if you're being harrassed a lot. Otherwise I do max Time Lock[/QUOTE] i know how to play faceless void, jeez. backtrack always preferable imo!!! by the time you get items to lock down people, you'll probably have a few levels in timelock if you max it 2nd.

Maxing out Time Walk is kinda a waste, you don't need to be aggressive early on and with 1 level in it you can dodge most gangs with ease.

[QUOTE=pvt.meh;34482954]i know how to play faceless void, jeez. backtrack always preferable imo!!! by the time you get items to lock down people, you'll probably have a few levels in timelock if you max it 2nd.[/QUOTE] early game you aren't maxing it to lock down people, just to get a higher chance of stunning in lane, it's better by far than maxing backtrack imo [img]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/631863734342447234/48237B7B9813138301BF95B7DA1B331C3B96EBC9/[/img] pretty grueling, 370 ck's on a hero with no farming mechanism, all my concentration

Not sure why you'd want to stun in lane, you're there to farm, not kill. If there's a gank, your support & the ganker and your time leap should be enough rather than relying on the RNG of time lock.

What's the difference between the different 'levels of familiarity' you have to choose from when starting DOTA2 for the first time?

balling out of controool

If there's a gank, your support & the ganker and your time leap should be enough rather than relying on the RNG of time lock.[/QUOTE] If you can get a kill, you will take it. Having the timelock will create more of these opportunities.

Windrunner so good
