Dota 2 General Chat XXXII - 6.88 will make the ancient summon robot miners and TPs will be free

have we already talked about how selecting the Taunt tab in Sand King's loadout plays a taunt in which he crawls into the ground and points his tail around?

[editline]25th August 2016[/editline]

it's actually described here too [url]http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Unreleased_content#Taunts[/url]

it's been doing this for a long time actually I just never saw anyone say anything about it
i'm really just bringing it up to see if anyone knows about similar things for other heroes in the loadout section

[arsjac]

I have added another classic hero to Dota Classic, the remake of ROC Dota (first incarnation of dota)

Info: [url]https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1516478&p=50805602&viewfull=1#post50805602[/url]

The new hero is: Pit Lord!
The classic Pit Lord is a completely different beast compared to the Dota 2 and Dota Allstars version - he is a true tank in ROC Dota (he can summon felhounds and has reincarnation).

So if you want to know how the Pit Lord started, search for "Dota Classic" in the Dota 2 Arcade.

Only one hero missing until the game is complete!

Will Underlord be nerfed in the next few balancing patches or does he feel strong [I]enough[/I] right now? I was planning on playing him quite a bit in a week or two after every incompetent shitbird gets insta-picking him out of their system...

Anyone have any good item builds that don't require farming a radiance and being useless? I was going to try and make something like these combinations work, but I may just be a jerk~

Aside from BKB(sometimes), is anything really CORE on him?

[fog]

right now theres 3 builds that i think are good with underlord

mid radiance manta memes, plays as a decent core but still has an issue getting kited in fights (i think, ive been seeing it happen but it might be bad players), lacks the farming speed of alch or the fact naga can have more illusions

offlane aura bitch, mek vlads shivas, just walk around in fights and be a problem for the enemies, as they will never be on equal grounds under the auras. being so tanky means you can run in and try and use your +damage. this works really good with push strats, probably the best position if you wanted to run him in one

pos 4 support, play this like a wisp. you wanna probably grab one support item and then a blink. you're here because of your ult and aura exclusively really, no one will expect you to be doing damage or getting a ton of farm
---
for your items i think the necro could fit into an offlane push build, but you wont be farming it as fast as a beastmaster. in the mid build you can finish up with an abyssal like alchs do sometimes
lotus and blademail are always situational items that any hero can grab but works better with some compared to others

[QUOTE=devon_wargod;50948581][/QUOTE]

Damn, beat me to it. So apparently Underlord's Synergy with split-pushing Illusions turned out to be a bug after all.

[VulpesGrey]

Update: Build still works apparently

blitz just played with a jungle troll and the dude was like "sorry for picking this i need my mmr"

blitz is like "whys he appologizing like this is a broken strat"

If Ability Power was a mechanic in Dota, how would it affect builds of certain heroes? Would it increase the amount of attribute stacking or aether lenses on heroes who normally don't build around those things? Example of how ability power could work (in a mod, for example)

[QUOTE]Current: Spell Damage
Gain 0.0625% spell damage per 1 point of intelligence (16 INT for 1% more spell damage)

New: Ability Power
Gain 0.03125% ability power per 1 point of intelligence, and per 1 point of primary attribute (for INT heroes these both are the same, so they gain 0.0625% ability power per intelligence), or 32 points of intelligence and/or primary attribute for 1% ability power.

Ability power directly affects effects from abilities: Damage, healing, duration of buffs and debuffs, duration of projectiles, range/distance/AoE of spells.

Example: Previously Quill Spray only gained damage from spell damage. With Ability power, Quill Spray would grant increased damage, AoE, and stack duration.[/QUOTE]

Note: I don't think this should be a mechanic in the base game, but it could be fun to play around with as a mod. Would we see Faceless Voids stacking INT and AGI to get bonus AoE and duration to chronosphere and time dilation?

if you talk about "core" items id probably say arcanes, the dude has high mana cost so even if youre going farming/damage builds youre digging yourself a hole if you get treads or phase. plus later you can disassemble the arcanes for most of the good items for him (lotus orb/octarine) and then buy boots of travel, both boots are far superior than any other boots for him. sure if you bought phase or treads you'd have more dps and they have their own uses but this dude NEEDS to be casting all of his spells early, you simply cant afford not to

[editline]27th August 2016[/editline]

apart from that i would say vanguard but im conflicted on the item when abyssal isnt needed, cause you could buy something like PMS > hood which i think is a neat combo for melee strength heroes that love action and can make durability go further than most other heroes while benefiting from it as well[/QUOTE]

I feel like the vanguard could be switched out for hood if they have a ton of magic damage, but I haven't really tried it out. Honestly the hood is cheaper by almost 500 gold too which i didn't even think about.

[fog]

pms hood arcanes is a lot of gold on items that dont really do anything if you wanted to play dps pitlord

[editline]27th August 2016[/editline]

thats like a timbersaw build

im talking about this which is the bottom half of a post thank u very much

[Bordey]

I played with an Underlord that went mid and bought full on farming items

[IMG]http://puu.sh/qQmLF/68069a6d13.jpg[/IMG]

He literally used his ultimate [I]only[/I] to teleport to creepwaves to farm them

[fog]

i dont know if id consider drums eblade dagon farming items

it looks like the 5k just dicked on the lower mmr kids with a shit build

[Bordey]

BoT Octarine Blink (just so he can move faster to farm) definitely are purely farm items, he didn't seem too interested in 5man gaming until we all were more farmed

[ghghop]

[QUOTE=Clovis;50957279]so are you saying what i said or did you miss that i suggested to switch vanguard out for hood?[/QUOTE]

I missed the bit about the hood, my bad i read through it too fast.
