[Nephilim]

allyuh try out the new hwero yet?

[Crixx_Creww]

yeah her stun is f%*^^&* ridiculous

[AIDS]

you see the distance that damn spear does travel?

[Crixx_Creww]

yeah is like pudge hook kinda

and the longer it travels the LONGER IT STUNS WHen IT hITS WHICH IS CRAP!!

[Nephilim]

you see the distance that damn spear does travel?

allyuh realize it eh too accurate, if the target move it still hitting that spot not the target

[AIDS]

Yeah and not only that but if a creep standing anywhere in between you and the target then the creep will get stun.

[Nephilim]

but the moon ability mad though and the leap ability good to run like a coward

[AIDS]

Yeah that moon thing nice for setting up ambush but the damn starfall does drain all your mana so you kinda helpless after you do it. I figure the best thing for her is like a battlefury (for mana regen), a basher (to compensate for the inacuracy of her stun) and a dagon (to deal some quick damage before you use the starfall). Also I like to attack rather than run so I does use the leap to catch heros who running from me. The leap-stun combo may be promising.

[Crixx_Creww]

wow @ noob aids and his bfury basher idea
lol teh n00b

i wont even bother to explain why

and if yu put her in the hands of an experienced pudge player, she is over hyper gay
as we see when tao uses her

men does get hit wit stray arrow and dead an ting is real s%$^%

[AIDS]

So don't you believe that increasing the skill level of your adversaries makes you even stronger when you can still own them?

Well that is my point of view in COD at least. i teach my opponents everything I know which forces me to learn new things. Thus my skill is always improving instead of me going around calling everyone noobs. So what if they are noobs, when i am done with them they are skilled players and i rather boast about owning skilled players than owning noobs.

[Crixx_Creww]

everyones a n00b to me basically

*sigh* my pain is that of itachi... just.. not .. challenging

its like... so many noobs in this world... how many have i owned???
*sigh*
lol ok ok ill be nice

bfury is a waste for 99% of ranged heroes, because ranged heroes dont get the cleave. The one hero ranged hero that does make good use of bfury is arguably medusa.

Secondly, basher is an item for heroes with high attack speed. and althogh princess moom b&^&( is an agi hero, she does not have a considerable enuff attak speed, also her attak animation is slow.

dagon is a matter of choice.
She is not meant to be a flat out destroy everything in site hero, she is a support hero.

Her spells do have a pretty decent mana cost attached to them, similiar to luna moonfang.
and similiar to luna, yud better spend yur money and time increase her survivability and her mana pool so she can use her sick combos and like luna, it would be best to increase her damage.

Soo soul booster, guinsoo and s+y probably bot

you get great mana regen, great mana pool, increased life, increased damage and shes fast,so bot on her along with her jump and stun makes her a great chaser.
her insanse stun lenght, coupled with a guinsoo will make her great for ganks and just general team support.

[AIDS]

Thanks! now that was alot more helpfull.

[Kaizen]

you fail to realize men like aids have hope
they not fully on dota like us they still playin healthy fps etc.
you cah blame him for not knowing certain builds etc the man now playing and as a good dota player you should atleast direct on him the part a lil easier man.

i mean i surely eh want no one to get the same treatment i get when i started playin at all LOL

[TrinireturnofGamez]

 New hero is sweet! i get away from a pudge level 6 like 5 times in a game with that leap , great to run down people too.
  Yea she is a support hero, build her a hex for mana and disable, boots , then you can spam starfall till you have gold for buriza and S&Y etc. She's a damn good farmer , you see how fast that thing cools down?! 
    Level 6  turns all the allies on the map invisible , if you getting ready for  a gang or trying to run from one its very useful . Support hero all the way .
