The DotA Thread! [Basic Strats and Hero/Item talk]

i may be wrong but...get hand of midas, 25% attck speed, and to make creeps turn to gold, it costs a golves of haste, and recipe 1000 gold.
i dont know if it means extra gold, but i think that it will give you more gold 4 creeps...again...i think.

i like the crystal maidan, nerubian, the monitaur, bone fletcher, and ogre magi...for now

The Transmute ability (to convert creeps into Gold) has a very long cooldown, so it's not the best thing in the world. But I would recommend this for Pudge to compensate for his godawful attack rate.*

 

[Dream_Walker]

it is not so bad tho once you get some decent agility

 

[Wing Zero]

theirs soemthing about pudges hook
idk its so fun

Which can be painfully slow, knowing Pudge.

When using Meat Hook, make sure you aim properly. Pudge's mana is so pathetic, if you miss, it's doubly hurtful.

And don't grab an almost-dead ally through attacks like Flamestrike...*

i already know what to do with pudge
only prob with me is i never seem to get the money

Because Pudge attacks too slowly to farm properly.

To get him up to speed, try Boots of Speed (not Power Treads - yet) and Yasha instead of Power Treads, because the damage bonus is good for Pudge and the movement speed boost is slightly higher than Power Treads.

The only real items you need are Heart of Tarrasque and possibly Perseverance or a recipe that uses Perseverance, so you can use Rot and lose only something like 2 health per second but deal ridiculous damage otherwise.

Rot is the farming way for Pudge, especially at Level 4. Rot is the easiest way to build Pudge's bulk.*

eh, i know pudge is godly, but he never works for me, his hook misses 90% of the time the rot ability always killed me faster and so on. one of the only great things about him, to me, is his hp...holy shit.

pratice makes perfect
dotn just use hook on an enamy
kinda like luanch it near and enamy

 

[Dream_Walker]

yea never target someone with hook..its a wasted ~140 mana :doh

 

[_JaKE]

wat u mean? target next to them? w/e. whats up with the warden, she fecking gay, shes invis then she comes out of nowhere and poisons you till u die!!! omg. lol

 

[Wing Zero]

Got these from Captin Hooks Guide on Pudge

the arden thing has blur
blur makes it so u cant see her but u can stilll hit her and see on minimap

 

[ChrisH36]

ITs a simple clicking and timing of the angle of the hook. It can curve but also be warned for any allies walking into the crossfire. You may end up dragging an ally instead of the enemy you wanted to kill.

 

[Wing Zero]

and beware of near by creeps...
i winder if i can get roshan with it

 

[x42bn6]

Rot + attack. Or Rot + Meat Hook + Devour upon heroes.

Nasty.*
SRY X42 I KEEP HITTING EDIT

 

[Dream_Walker]

oh yes, but if you kill someone with rot, say a hero, you will not get the 1.2 strength

I haven't tried that, but back in 6.00 Tiny could toss Roshan.

 

[Dream_Walker]

the fun days with tiny.......but its funner tossing them out of the map =o

 

[micro.micro]

hmmm any suggestions for items on lich, a-mage, or drake?

 

[ChrisH36]

Back in 6.00, you could do stupid shit like toss Roshan into enemy bases and let him sack the entire town.
