| Well here's what I do when I start a game with the DH. Most of the time I creep/use wells and upgrade to my next skill (Evasion) and then if I have Exp to get to lvl 3 I might either choose immolation or mana burn. Typically, however, I choose immolation. It's a touch call but I use the immolation/focus fire and pick off the units and then I go for the hero.
