Nevermore - The Shadow Fiend

A demon of the burning legion so abhorred that he makes the skin of even his fellow demons crawl, Nevermore is a creature of the shadows that consumes the souls of those around him. When the Shadow Fiend comes forth to battle, he augments his power with the souls he has consumed, bearing down on his enemies with spiritually enhanced attacks and powerful spiritual blasts. The Shadow Fiend is a terrifying opponent whom few have survived, and those who have perished under his tyranny have faced the most despicable fate of all.

Blink Travels BKB Manta Heart Desolater

by 40-50 minutes you should have that if you're a good farmer,
if you gank a lot, then 58 minutes is where you should be at

@695
fury swipes is in the 3rd slot same as essence shift
either u take one or take none

697 By .slarkvsriki 2010-08-08

@693 ethereal 300+ I can make it until 400+. I think With ethereal you must use lothar COmbo: Lothar-Ethereal-ULTI(95% chance dead) OR vice versa is also effective requiem itself is too poweful IT can DO 1 HIT on most int and agi

696 By nooblet_pwner 2010-08-07

not really...
same hero, swap necromastery for frost bite (cannot move or attack, only cast spells) and POOF you die. no disables at all in there, you're like a troll with no bash.

695 By yourdoom 2010-08-07

a little out of topic but

in dota OMG, can you imagine if a range hero could do this build :

necromastery, essence shift(from slark), fury swipes (from ursa), as for ulti : battle trance (from troll)

...........beyond godlike ?

694 By GawDzilla23 2010-08-06

Nice logic you have there

693 By yourdoom 2010-08-06

@692

lol, but nvm is easy to kill with : gank, gank, gank => useless

but 30 minutes after you're left alone : KILLING SPREE (unless you're idiot :p)

here's my combo :

bkb => ethereal => blink => ulti => raze

still alive? that's why i use shiva!

total damage?
ethereal could do about 300 damage
ulti should do about 800 damage (with ethereal mode), raze deals 420 damage each, so total is about 2400, and shiva is extra 200. so 2600, and 4 seconds slow, so you just punch him and about 3000 ++

692 By tasik 2010-08-01

900 damage aeo nuke, +60damage for free, -5 armor aura and big aoe ulti.... ya and ppl say the new heros r overpowered

691 By royalpain111 2010-07-28

@689 orchid not a good idea he doesn't need much mana especially if you have bottle you just need to purchase items with high attribute gain like manta, butterfly , ethereal blade etc.

690 By nooblet_pwner 2010-07-26

@688 actually its broken when the actual cast animation is done (arms swing up), not when the spell damage is released. you do remain invisible while channeling though. i know this cuz ive been stuck playing AI recently and ive tried that, and the moment the requiem is about to be released, any hero with 0 cast animation disable uses it and the requiem is cancelled.
orchid is bad. just no. mid+bottle is enough to spam. by the time you get orchid you already have enough mana.

689 By imcaleblee 2010-07-26

orchid to spam razes?

688 By AngelofKaos 2010-07-22

@684

This one: @676

Except you should choose between one of them: Either Lothar's OR Dagger, NOT BOTH. Maybe as a luxury, but purchasing the other one really delays your late game farming for items.

FACT: When Wind Walking, if you cast Requiem of Souls the invisibility is broken WHEN THE SKILL RELEASES, it does not break while you "Dance" (the 1 sec cast animation), contrary to what the ulti description says.

687 By .slarkvsriki 2010-07-22

@ 673 akla mo ha. =D

686 By nooblet_pwner 2010-07-21

@680 i think rushing BKB is the correct one. rushing a blink will just put you in the middle of death. jump in, start ulti, get nuked to death. with BKB, if you have good support then you can still pull off a good ulti. with blink, everyone's first reaction is "NUKE HIM!!!!!!". next, your magic wand pops from 0-15 and you go POOF. so rush BKB, not blink.

=_=

Kelen's Dagger. . .

684 By frateh 2010-07-21

so vertify...what do u think is a good build for sf?

683 By frateh 2010-07-21

so vertify...what do u think is a good build for sf?

682 By tidalchaos14 2010-07-21

yeah its so easy to farm with sf his the fastest farmer = ShadowRRaaazzzzeeeee!!!

681 By threecheersforfiveyears 2010-07-21

Its pretty easy to farm with sf anyway so if you keep a steady balance of farm and gank you should have more than enough time to stack up on those pricey dps items

680 By Vertify 2010-07-21

Wouldn't you be buffed then ??
Though I guess your right, but if you rush dagger (in which is the general strategy right?), he would be what level? 10-13? After that, your following it up with a beneficial utility, but does nothing for dps. You can survive, but is it better then getting kills?
I mean by the time you use ulti+dps items against enemies, you don't have to worry about survival items cause there dead.
I say, kill them as quick as possible my way
