Author's Ability Notes


Best spam skill on the lane and for entire match
Do not take it first if you don't need to stun enemy to save someone, because on lane it would just spend entire your mana for few using
Always use it to save your teammates or to kill enemy support
Good to take on 7 level or earlier if enemy often killing you
+{s:value}% Vengeance Aura Base Damage Bonus : 16% for team
-{s:value}s Nether Swap Cooldown : Useless
-{s:value}s Magic Missile Cooldown : With aghanim shard enemies will love it, but 20% of reducing damage is better
special_bonus_unique_vengeful_spirit_wave_of_terror_steal : More better than -2 cd
-{s:value} Wave of Terror Armor : Anti-armor spam
+{s:bonus_magic_missile_damage} Magic Missile Damage : Most of time is useless if you don't need to have micro control stuns (against Puck and others)
+{s:bonus_AbilityCastRange} Magic Missile Cast Range : We always need to have a range to be safe
+{s:bonus_damage} Nether Swap Enemy Damage : Useless, enemy would die because was teleported to your team, not because of additional 150 damage

Author's Item Notes


Early Game

Soon or later you will get Aghanim, so you need items that cannot be activated and can give stats and especially passive stats
Must have in any situation, especially when with one aspect you can upgrade it
It always good to have evasion and ability to shut up the enemy
Projectile speed and poison

Second Life

Situational Items

Very rare when you would need it, because you are half support and half carry
Can be good if you would upgrade them in boots of bearing but too expensive receipt compared to items we need
Good item to catch enemies, even if not able to use in second life
If we need more attack speed
To counter dangerous enemies
