he is soooo going to jump you..
but i will do it first.

YES battlefury is the most cost effective damage item in the game (for melee heroes, due to splash damage have infinite potential).
NO it is NOT worth getting on merc as your MAIN PURPOSE is to KILL HEROES, NOT FARM, you rush yourself some USEFUL damage or a USEFUL orb then you FARM by KILLING HEROES.

thats just a brief rant, see some of CF[x]'s posts if you remain unconvinced.

I came up with a conclusion that Radiance must be rush first because Spectre has a low base damage which makes her a poor farmer even with a Battle Fury, but with Radiance she farm much faster and pawn much even better. My only problem is her survivability, so during early game I buy a pairs of bracers, a bottle, boots, and tp of course.

What do you think does the bottle solve her survivability problem?

bracers are good, 2-3 is enough

i usually dont consider bottle

spec isnt a ganker until she gets rad, getting bottle deviates you from your purpose

on the other hand, if you dont go bracers, this might function

DR on her fails, same goes to lifesteal

her true source of damage is gotten from desolate, which doesnt contribute to lifesteal. DR is quite stupid, she isnt really a hero that makes full use of it

Lifesteal is bad? What about SnY it gives more hp & atk/mov spd plus the maim which will grant you a sure kill. I always find Manta not an effective item because during clashes AoE skills are everywhere even Razor's Chain Lightning could dispose your clones in an instant.

SnY sounds good, but it serves better as a first item as it is a early game based item

on the other hand, we're rushing rad here

There should have been a Diffusal on the list.

Boots,Stout,Stout,Tangoes-
Treads,Stout,Stout,Diffusal-
Treads,Stout,Stout,Diffusal,Relic-
Treads,Stout,Stout,Diffusal,Radiance-
Treads,Stout,Stout,Manta,Radiance-

See my point?

Diffusal helps alot in killing heroes and hunting them down.

lol.
Cool

A bottle is a good item for Spectre and its essential in surviving during early game so you can rush your Radiance.
