3x bracers, treads and bkb.

Screw everyone who gets blink on sand king. that's a luxury bullshit item. Stun and ult and shift right click is good enough.

my general sand king game goes
bracer x 2
boots
pers
bots
(bkb now or after...)
bfury
heart

he's a great hero. blink really doesnt serve any good purpose. he has a damn blink, it's called burrowstrike. kkthx.

mirana - rush arcane!!! best 850 build is arcane recipe, protect ring, +1 mana pot +3 tangos try last hit til 1k gold get ur arcane and ur cracking for most the game
i like mjoll on her. skadi is great too. crit. butterfly. usual cookie cutter agil BS. not big fan of sny on her anymore.

for new lina i actually really like radiance.

the reason why is if your farming a full life group, when you do ur 2 spells, every single bloody creep is left with like 1 hp. can you believe that? ZZ. radiance will help you farm that .
ult stick of course
for regen linkens is good
bots
thats all i really care about being on her.. do what u will with the rest

es is really easy
blink arcane are a must. after that you can do what you like. generally most people aim for refresher and for him to have enough mana to stun blink and double ult.

You're missing the whole point of blink, burrow strike is set up so that they have like .30 something seconds to stun/stop channel so its an ineffective leading to his ult.

When you get a blink dagger, the idea is to channel your ult the blink in to the action since the pulses follow wherever you are.

Ty for help on the other builds but does anyone have a build for Knukka (admiral)

Blink is not luxury on SK, its core. 1) Burrow gives the other team time to disable you, thus completely wasting your ult. 2) You waste your only disable just to position yourself, and are then unable to use it as necessary. Not getting a Blink Dagger on SK is simply moronic. BoT? Completely unnecessary, and SK has garbage armor that Phase helps with, and the positioning to make sure you don't miss burrowstrikes is great. And Bfury? lol...not even going to comment on that.



Arcane Ring is the biggest waste of money ever on PotM. Intelligent use of starfall + bottle + last hitting is all you'll need. Anything else is simply delaying the items that are actually useful to you. Not a big fan of SnY on her anymore? SnY is a horrible item period, and most certainly horrible PotM. Skadi is expensive and unnecessary with minimal benefit. Diffusal is THE orb to get for gank oriented play style.



Radiance? Wow...not gonna comment on that. Doing all this farming on Lina is completely pointless. Items give her little to no benefit, and she should be spending all game ganking to give people who actually need the farm lane control. After Phase/Nulls or Bracers/Bottle, you should barely be farming for that dagger. Depending on the coordination of you and your team vs. the other team, you could be dying a good bit, and you should be sacrificing yourself to save your carry in any situation that you can.



Arcane on ES is at least acceptable, but unnecessary if you manage your mana, which isn't difficult. Refresher on ES is a joke. Again, ES is not a farmer, but a ganker. Farming a refresher plus the massive items you need to actually have the mana to use it is moronic, even for pubs.

And I gave a build for Kunkka already, Phase/BKB/Bfury/Heart. Kunkka doesn't need IAS, his AoE damage comes from Tidebringer. Items like Treads/Cuirass are inefficient. If you don't want a Bfury, and some don't, Bottle could work I suppose. And as with every hero, magic stick is viable depending on your lane.

soooo

bots
diffusal
manta
bfly
bottle
wraith?
for mirana???

i see alot of ppl get mjollnir O.o

They covered everything else in this post about sk and potm build.

I just want to say, why the hell would you get radiance on lina?
And refresher on es? Yea right, he won't have the mana to use it effectively.

Otherwise, spirit-warrior covered everything else. And haloz, you can check out the dota forum as there are many different builds for each hero on there.
