with da picz and da drawinz diz is da most detailed and easy to understand strat ever
This is no dought a gr8 work, it gives lots of innovative styles how future strategies can be designed, good work Steve infact great work!!!
Yeah, this one's for the books. Good work, Steve-O. Glad to have you here at DS! You put my strategy to shame! Haha!
thx guys.. i worked on that from 7 pm to 3 in the morning.. ^^
Yahoo... thats a great strategy... but if you cast your death ward and you used wind walk... then is your deth ward going to stop??? cuz it is a channelng spell...
no it will not stop.. try looking at my mid game strategy section, last picture.. Im channelling the Ward but im invisible.. Dont forget to place the Ward fist before you use your Lothar's Edge.
Nice one! You're pretty innovative, heheh.. WD can kill big time, and not even strong hero killer can beat this one, maybe..
it's a nice strats i might try it in the net nice one Steve
Thanks for the help Steve, I cannot use Witch Doctor in the right way. Now I know how is the right way! Thank you very much!
nice strat... i've not used vol'jin but i am eager now to use him after reading this guide
kudos !!!
Somebody's been a busy bee! I commend your splendid work Steve-O! ooh screenshots! This is a DS first, and hopefully the start of a trend(Me and Drew were too lazy to put screenies in ours). Anyways, I assume that the items after completing your recommended stuff is optional? Also, you forgot about Enigma in the best allies part, his ultimate reverberate quite well with the Death Ward. Again, nice guide keep it up!
Wee! I really like the strategy. It's detailed and can be easily underst00d!
Continue the nice work Steve-O! You'll surely dominate all DS visitors!
Thx guys! Oh yeah.. I forgot about Enigma..
I'll add it up in my updates.. My next guide will be on Jakiro. Uhmm.. Jakiro is heads.. Ogre Magi has 2 heads also.. Why not call Ogre Magi twin headed ogre?
man, this strat is FANATASTIC! very commendable, man!
Wow that is the very awesome strategy.Unbelieveable!
Good job steve
Wow....great strategy....
Well detailed...
I like d way u use lotars edge wahahhah
Finally a guide with detailed pictures
Why not put dagon in the item build? Makes maledict more effective. I use it if there is only 1 hero. When there are 2 or more, I use DW.
I think you can also have bkb replace lothar's edge is some cases especially if people actually start seeing you either as a threat or you have a really annoying windwalker allied to you which may result in them buying wards or a gem to counter Lothar's edge.
And yes I agree that a passive stun can stop your channeling even in avatar mode. But it's going to be hard getting to you when you have deathward and a good team at your side^^
I also find Magnataur's Reverse Polarity to be quite a lethal combo with death ward especially if you have aghanim's scepter.
Oh and I hate Leviathan's guts or should I say shell to the core when I play voljin since kraken shell makes short work on maledict^^
the easiest way 2 unterstand a strategy is here... haha thanks!!!! good job men!!!!!
nice strategy for doc's hero killer side
oh yeah sorry for the double comment... but do you have a strategy to make witch doctor a dreadful witch and a reliable doctor ??
best i hve seen
nother comment....why is the voodoo restoration the last skill needed to be buffed? voodoo resto can be used to run(i think the description is wrong about it or its just me hallucinating bout it)it worked on himself.... i tried creating basilius, guinsoo then meka then vanguard and bracer gave me a 2 mana regen even though i have voodoo resto enebled my mana pool is 1740 at lvl 25(with the items)
i forgot create aghanim though...
even though my enemy is lina inverse and centaur khan i can take them 2 on 1
if you want creating aegis will make him near invincible(or HoT)
waa sorry didnt read your description about the vodoo restoration skill
AND sorry for he DOUBLE comment why cant you edit your comment? its a nice way to ambush your enemies with your given items .. i tried your strat on a 5 on 5 it gave the best results
What the hell?
I gave him a 10
wow
witch doctor is powerful one,not a weakling mr.jackoliver...if you use it properly and get the inventories needed you sure will go BG haha
wow great strat tnx this is the greatest stat ever!
hey, nive strat once again. litle suggestion, if you have a free invent slot, then you can use Black king bar when you're casting death ward! so you're invisible, invulnerable to magic, and basically nothing can stop your death ward. another way, in case casting BKB stops the death ward sequence, is having a friendly omniknight cast repel on you instead!
use your worst enemy as your best friend!
di na updated to.. casting windwalk while u have deathward up will cancel deathward.. so di rin gagana yung bkb
blank_blank kpg nglagay ako ng Death Ward muna then Wind Walk ndi mwwla ung ward. Mg quiquit na ko sa DotA pg na patunayan mong mwwla ung Death Ward pag nag Wind Walk ka.
ill try it....he might become my vet..
i mean doctor
Played the doctor just now in a game and I got the most kills out of everyone. They were actually staying away from me even though I was really weak. I think they though I was strong since I kept getting all the kills. However, if it wasn't for my teammates I think most of the people would have gotten away and my death ward would not have done much damage.
Its really hard to get the curse on the guy. The doctor has to get very close and usually I misclick or they move away after I have already started casting. Most of my kills were when our two groups faught in a small area or were standing still attacking a tower, making it easier to curse them.
i like teh screenshots...w00t! great job steve-o..best strat so far. +10 points for teh pictures ;p
wahh..nicely done
. but y not add linken's its great against the nukers. and for the noobs > if you cast maeldict on da enemy and ward. even if they get away, most likey the maledict will kill them wen they run bak
this is a great guide nice work mate!!! hope mine turns out as good as yours
Great strategy men! well, i have a question for you, what if your opponent is Troll Warlord? he can easily destroy the the death ward. Therefore, you can't use the Death Ward. I experienced that!
hey steve-o are you the 1 who plays in the USwest server pinoy channel?
Amazing steve-o. Nice pics and great build for WD ill be sure to try it sometime. keep it up
it may sound redundant now that i'm the 45th to post, but this strat is amazing. stay cool steve-o!!!
nice approach..1st time ko pa po d2 sa DS...kala ko nonsense...pro galing pla...nice tlaga...gawa ka pa po ulit...keep it up...GOD BLESS...
Hey Steve can you post some strats for Alchemist
Nice
nice strategy Steve-0.
I was pretty amazed.
Hey Guyz Put A Level 5Dagon And Lothars THEN maledick-dagon-cask-Wards NICE kombo.
itdepends how you click it alll ^_^
Good stat Steve-O, the picture really give a better understanding of the strategy. Post more strat Steve, i like yours!!
By the way, like what king-koy has said, i also suggest using dagon while playing Vol'jin. Vast - Maled - Dagon! you can really own almost anyone with this combo in the beginning especially agi hero for their low HP. Furthermore, you can save your wards for the next kill immediately.
Nice strat..Make more..
wow ns strategy steve-0
2 words.... CURSE DAGON
i must admit, im a dagon junkie when it comes to doctor, but you have open mine eye to the power of the wards! waaay leet status guide, if u have other guides id go out of my way to read them(if u have others i will find them...o i will find them...) nice
Best strat ever!!
Keep up the good work! You rock
weee.... nice work dude
why not try having lion as your ally, with disables and a very painful ulti.having the maledict finger combo its too eye candy.
Woah!~ Your remarks are so flattering. Thx for all your comments and feedbacks! Enjoy playing with Vol'Jin.
Holy shit........the strategies I can write seem like one load of garbage next to this. I got a beyond godlike streak in two continuos games after following this strat!
The best strat I've seen so far. Very detailed and with the screenshots, its perfect! Excellent job Steve-O! Keep it up!
FUCKING GOOD I NEVER KNOW VOLJIN SHOULD BE USED LIKE THAT GOOD GUIDE I SHOULD TRY IT ON REAL MATCH NOW!!!
does BKB work like how you use Lothar's Edge? placing the death ward then activating your BKB? sorry to bother... just a noobie...
pinoy ka pla SteVe-O?? pinoy dn ako!!! iba na tlga mga pinoy mga mgagaling at mga adik sa DOTA!! nyahahaha!!
anywei... mganda pag ka discuss mo kay voljin!! lhat yan alm ko na pero mas na amaze ako nung dniscuss mo ung ititira lng ung range crips kc andun plagi mga melee hero and range... kya msarap i chain stun un! dun lng sa knila mag bbounce and deathward lothars! d naman nwawala un eh!! ntatawa lng ako sa ibang nag popost ng comment na mwawala death ward pag nag lothars o BKB... nagpapatawa ata cla... hehehe anyweii... mganda ung topic tlga!! i enjoy a lot reading it!! keep up the good work SteVe O!!! sNa ma FeaTure mo naman c twin ogre headed magi!! hehehe
Cge richienald. Hehe, lets try to speak in English tol, bka makita tau nung mga mod. Hehe
Pnta ka sa forums, heroes section, there, you can request for strategies on your desired hero to use. Hehe, i'll be waiting dude. ^^
i still dun get de maledict part, duz it mean u maledict, den dagon, de bonus dmg is 800?
Try it king, so you can see how it works. Try playing with AI's. Maledict first, then Dagon, Maledict is a curse, when it starts, it's time for you to damage a target continously so that the bonus damge can get higher. Like Dagon, it has a 400 energy burst damage at lvl 1. 400 damage to a Maledicted hero means great bonus damage to him/her going to hit his a**. And also if that hero is an agility type one his chance of surviving is low, hey, dont forget about the Paralyzing Casks dude. It helps.
Nice strat! But i had a problem when i faced Mogul Khan 1 on 1. it was an -ar match and i got to pick Witch doctor and my opponent Mogul Khan. Everytime i cast deathward and then windwalk he just use his berserker call and poof it stops me from channeling my deathward. Will BKB work againts berserker call?
do you know i like looking at your screenshots when you killed your enemy. especially Nevermore... kapag ako si nevermore palaging namamatay hindi na ako lalapit sayo... hehehe... anyway galing ng ginawa mo lalo na sa screenshots.. i gave you 10/10
nice guide steve that strategy and items you were using is great!!! nice one! i would try witch doctor to use
10/10? dapat 10+1/10 ang bibigay mo noob anyway his strategy is great!!!
pinoy pala kau akala ko mga amerikano kau lalo na si steve-o kasi kapangalan niya ung nasa blues clues ang ganda ng strat mo tol taga san ka tol?
Finally I Found The Best Strategy for Vol'Jin in the whole wide DS !!! With all the Pictures , Drawings This is the most detailed and easy to understand strategy ever !!! Good Work , Steve-O. I am so glad that you are here in DS !!!!!
Wow Steve-O you're a Filipino ?? Pinoy din ako ! , Great Strategy Again ......
@ destroyer_13 - hahahaha 11/10? pede nga eh 100/10 eh sana hanggang 10 stars para bigyan ko sya 100=10stars hehehe!!!!
STEVE YOU ROCK MAN i looked at all the strategies u made ( all OWN)
can u make a strategy for spiritbreaker? thats my weakest hero and the only hero i dont know how to use
uhm.., i have a question here... does healing a hero affected by maledict (using meka, chen's ulti, etc..) affect the damage that maledict can inflict overtime???
uhm.., i have a question here... does healing a hero affected by maledict (using meka, chen's ulti, etc..) affect the damage that maledict can inflict overtime???

Deejaymix avoid double posting pls. As for the Mekanism or Heal issue, the Maledict damage will still be dealt, the damage will be based on your continous damage on that particular hero when the Maledict began. The more damage the higher the bonus damage that he will receive, take a look at how Death Ward shoots its damage. Its so fast right? Its synergized perfectly for Maledict.
@destroyer_13 tga Bulacan po ako.
@DeathDota Spiritbreaker is easy to use, his damage depends on his movement speed, the higher his movement speed, the higher the damage he can afflict.
Try to have a peak on my Jakiro strategy guide. Its quite useful for you. Thx.
http://www.dotastrategy.com/view_strategy.php?ident=623
wow nice work! im impressed!
you should include DoomBringer as one of its worst enemy!hehehe
im starting to like and favour this hero!
thx Steve-O
very wicked startegy ive never seen better ill give you a THREE jk 10 all the way you have helped me now how to play him and also how to counter him i personally play bloodseeker because he is a very dominante hero killer and i am working on a way to playy so that thirst isnt a big deal i can still own without it (even though i will still use it) im leaning to manta style and lothars edge which is already in my inventory... but anyways very nice startegy never seen better keep up the good work
Bane elemental could also be a great ally maledict and ulti will beef up at lvl 16 to 395 damage if the enemy has no armour. Also will lothars work with bane's ulti
i like th way you execute your strat.
and i also like he charts and the screnshots! good work!!!!!
waw wind walk lang pla para nde ka ma mob ng creeps during death ward galing ah.. Pero steve
may isa pa akong natuklasan kay witch doctor max level dapat ung maledict para effective itong combo na ito.. purchase dagon (lvl 3 should be enough). Here is goes cast Maledict (be sure na tamaan siya nun before icast yung dagon) tapos yun na un.. ganito mangyayari jn yung bawas maledict mas llakas damage overtime ha? imbes ng 80 lng mkkta mo 120 tpos mggng 360 den 560 basta ptaas ng ptaas depende sa lvl ng dagon na ginamit mo ^_^ try nyo
Wow. I might be able to try to use this guy now. Pro guide, good job.
Umm (sorry for double posting, hadn't thought of this) how do you get the pictures on here? Every time I try this it doesn't work, DS only lets in pics from websites, it needs to have a URL or something. So saving a screenshot wouldn't work because it needs to be on the web... ah, help me?
Nevermind... I propertied one of the pictures and it says PHOTOBUCKET. Should work. Thanks anyway.
i was impressed by voljin when i read this strat. he's great
@Shimmra_3
Upload your screenshots at PHOTOBUCKET.com, then there will be an icon in the "make strategy section" which you can upload your own screenshots from PHOTOBUCKET.
Yep, I got it, just finished my Techies guide, Thank You very much. I put a special thanks for you :D
it is good... and the build really suit for witch doctor...
This thing is great.. It rocks.. newbie players like me can use this strat as a very big help to improve..
I just wanna ask something, does that lothar's windwalk also work for rylai when she's channeling the Frozen Fields?...
nung 2nd time ko siya gamitin, kming dalawa nung rhasta kong teammate godlike dahil dun sa combo na pinakita niyo. ty talaga
very good strat!!!10/10
wow this is the best guide ever.
keep up the good work mate. I wish you make more guide
why not purchasing BKB,i usually use it when casting death ward because it's channeling
and the duration of death ward,aprx about 10s like avatar
does the death ward attack the invisible enemy unit if we don't have item that gives visible ?
thx
I got a double killed
realy thanks
wow, great great strat. i love the way you put the pictures in so that we can understand better. before whenever i randomed voljin, i always repicked, but now, ill definitly be playing him out! thx!
Wow i have never seen such an excellent guide. It had it all: pictures, an explaination of what all the items give you and why you need them, and great strategy. The diagrams really showed me how and when to cast spells. I'm sure I will own with this hero the next time i play!!
1 word GREAT !!!!!
Very nice strat indeed
Time to test!
wow nice
cool
very nice
i will try this strategy now
nice job! gives me more to think about voljin. melidict is usesless when used by meccans.
Hey steve-O I have come back and read your strat many times and I though I had commented but no. So great. Just excellent very worthy of it's status here at DotAStrategy.
can i use dagn insteadof necronomicon? i tried once leveling thedagon to 5..maledict + ward + dagon = i think almost 600 additional damage..!! is not it nicE? galing mo tol...
nice i liked very much now I can kick my brother ass thx a lot!!!also his name is steve too!!
STEVE-O rulez
Man, Great strategy make more plz, like heros that havent been made before. Oh, yea u got the wrong icon for Bounty hunter.
I really just had to thank steve-o for this strat..I've mastered this strat by heart and man do i own...owe you a lot man...id give this an obvious 10
who is stronger witch doctor or bloodseeker// just a noobee question
very nice stratzZz...keep it up
Sry guys, i havent got the time to update this strategy. I've been busy lately. When i flew to Madrid it was only 94 comments, but now a centenial high 115.
THx guys. ^^
WOW OVIOUSLY U DONT KNOW HIS SKILL OR ITEM BUILD CORRECTLY WOW THIS SUCKS SO BAD
IF U USE HIM LIKE THAT YOUR A NOOB U CANT DO SHIT THEN....THIS IS WHY I DONT GO TO DOTASTRATEGY.COM
@peanutbear
Lol. You low class peoples are just funny. Ahahaha. Nothing more.
WTH peanutbear? You must be the worst member here at DS! Just get out.
nice name peanutbear becuase your brain is like a peanut peanut head
hello, plz help!!!!
wat to do when doctor facing those AOE stuuner? it is the main weakness of doctor -_-
there too many AOE stunner... not good...
DEFINITELY A HERO KILLER!!!!
Let me add one thing....maledict+ginsoo=more damage in the end RIGHT?!?!?!
one well placed cask and its all over oh bkb is one of the best way to keep the channeling of the SS from being interrupted
overall strategy=MARVELOUS
@ peanutbear - it's you again!!! your the one who said my guide SUCKS!!!!! YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING S**T.. get out!!
Thank you Steve ive always hate WD but not anymore...Great work
@kula7:I'd say invest in a Black king bar(instead of lothars) to thwart AOE stuns.
@redfox6101
Yeah, you will be able to inflict greater damage on that enemy because he is hexed, or turned into a critter.
One question Steve-O, Does death ward's chaos damage still hit Yunero when he is doing the bladestorm thing? (cant remember name
something like battle or blade fury)
more more more
Sorry for a double-post, but i couldn't let peanutbuter get away w/ insulting a perfect guid. Don't listen to him because he obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.
It's ok, im not mad at those people. Im a grownup now, nothing to argue about with those people. Peace!~
it's a very good strat and the it has pics and screenies i already read(PAST) about your jakiro strat it's nice too
yan nman talaga ang battlenet items... lothar's
Woah how long are the comments, Btw Great strat!
Ahaha, Steve-O thrives. peanutbear should be hunted down and devoured by monkeys. Ummm... I find this rather odd, why have you put the 6.41 changelog in there... I have not seen that happen in a guide. Thats meant to be if you change your strategy... oh no, hes made a mistake, you lose your godlyness. Sorry.
try DAGON to your fave doc.. hit enemy with dagon then maledict... sure kiLL...
easier built and strategy.. hehe
hi WD has very strong hero killing abilities, but if you can give him Dagon in early game plus maeledict... ouch!
Yes, i know for a fact that Dagon is one of the items that synergizes with Maledict so well, but my point here is, i want to make Death Warding an art. Lothar's Edge style.
This guy is scary. Tag him with heroes with good stun, hex, slowing skill or with Skadi, the Maledict + Death Ward combo works like armalite to near enemy heroes! I like him as a partner with Mangix equipped with Skadi.
uhh well this is a great guide and all but i disagree about getting Lothars. In a pub lothars is great, but in any decent inhouse lothars will be countered almost immediately with a gem, rendering it useless and in turn making voljin useless. I prefer BKB in any game that isn't public.
nice strat.. ur d best! i'll wait 4 ur next guide.. ngppost k dn b ng comment s ibang ngbibigay ng strat?
luv ur strategy... i fav tip lothars edge... tanks steve
do u have to but the potions at the begining? can u just go straight from the ring to the boots?
Amazing strategy guide man. This was really helpful. I never could get maledict, but now I know it's power. Thanks
Thanx for the strategy.... i thought that vol'jin is weak.... but now i realized how deadly he is...
y dun eu buy bkb or linken
and y dun buy dagon to match it'a third skill
quit good la yor strategy but if eu put this item more good i think
i think ill n0t use d bassilus thing..because when y0u activate y0ur lothars,y0u will be seen by y0ur enemies..s0 if there is a stunner on your opp0nent your d0ne..
although lotahrs edge is a good item for voljin..i dnt thnk its good in case of stunners or basher heroes...he is good one on one hero even in team bt shud never run alone.....even a hex is a good combo for voljin...
lothars edge will cancel channeling of his ward.
can u put skadi at the end of the game
@lednerv:Using lothar's edge does NOT stop the ward channeling.
this is the best strategy
YOU ARE THE BEST DOTA STRATEGIST EVER!!!!
salamat sa mga detailed drawings naintindihan ko ng maigi.
Can u make a guide on Magina?
Very good strategy,
I do 640 damage in a second with maledict,
Vol jin is 1 os my best heros
Is a very powerfull heros
10/10
Well, what can I say??GRRRRRRRRRREAT guide...as if Im the only one who mentioned that - btw new to DotaS hi 2 u all
AStig mga Tips mo steve o, nagagamit ko sa mga laro ko. thankyou..
Gusto ko na gamitin to Manong steve o!!! hahaha
good guide you put picutre on it your the first time a sawa picture like that
steve-O,, ang galing mo gumawa ng strategy! sobrang dali maintindihan! tsk tsk,, sana madami kapang gawin kxe madami kang natutulungan! keep up the good work!!
LOVE PICS IF EVERYONE SENDING COULD POST PICS THAT WOULD BE GREAT
my god...another one of ur great guides...i got beyond godlike by using ur build
once again, 10/10
Nice guide!! wow, so much effort..imagine playing the game while taking screenshots..hehe..nice!!
abetter way, loghtar then dagon or vice versa
Heheh. Just doin it for our fellow players, sharing some tips and tricks, maybe someday i'll retire in playing dotA. I'll be taking up another course. I'll be back at school.
By the way, im from the Philippines, Bulacan.
hey btw, wat clan are u in?
DUDE THIS IS ONE FUCKEN AWESOME GUIDE
I LOVE IT
i hella understand everythin except for one
after u get those items, wat should u go for like late-mid game and end game?
@Lebronjames945
Its up to you, it depends on the situation of the game.
@archmage1222
I dont have any clans yet.
so damn creative
You forgot Linken's
Negates targeted spells while you're invisible (no burrowstrike, light strike array, etc)
what about BKB???? its for more HP and immunity to spells.... by the way nice strategy
your a genius i would like to vs you 1v1 in dota.add my accnt -->bumcake_avenger
can i ask, if i death ward near naga siren with his clones. What will happen?
nice one steve-O
nice one steve-O
wel steve is it ok to put two copies of my comment?
:disappointed
Good Job Steve-O. Now i see that Vol'Jin is not a weak hero, really.
this is great! thanx
..hehe..astg!!..nce strtegy..
..can u teach me how to use the beastmaster?..pls?..
Very helpful strategy, Steve-O
yeah sure this Doctor Voljin is great..i've tried to follow this guide and guess what...Beyond Godlike!!hahaha
Learned alot thanx.
Hahaha... Nice strat! Pinoy ka rin pala. One of the best I've seen so far. Hope to see more soon.
You should put BKB as an alternative to those who paly with people who knows how to buy gem
Good guide anyway but not having Magnus as one of the best allies (Malecdit + Reverse polarity) gave it a -1 point from me. 
This is kewl! at first i thought he was weak but den after reading this guide.. ha ha ha now im starting to play him as one of my favorite heroes
Steve - O IDOL!!
Vol`Jin is also best paired with Magnataur: reverse polarity + maledict then cast ward , WindWalk scary .... Nice guide.... Filipinos Best DOTA players ... tagasaan ka ba steve - o???
Ahoy pre!!
Nice guide.. I usually prefer building DAGON in the first
place but
i dont know what to buy for my
first items. At least nakakuha ako ng ideya
sa guide mo
At dito ko lng nalaman na Lothars can be substitute for BKB. Hehehe!
But i hvnt tried them both in a real fight thats
why i ended up getting killed by the creeps../
(getting squshed by creeps,, weak >_
Almost we play the same Steve. I use cast Paralyzing Cask First the Maledict then Death Ward. Iv'e got triple kill and beyonD GODLIKE as always I use this char. I just get the Idea of Lothars edge. Thnx!!!! but it only depends on the situation or game play. Your the Best!! Now you shared the ideas, it seems you have many fans here hehe.
Wow! A great strategy indeed, and I was looking for a strategy for Vol'jin, thanks
I think doctor best ally is Enigma. Once, when enigma cast his ultimate skill( I dunno what it's call) then i cast dead ward after ward, i pawn 4 heroes. TripleK!!! for 2 time... ha
youre so good in making strategies!! i like the part of the lothars edge!! its nice !!
im starting to be my favorite is voljin yeh
Very informative - loved the pictures for explanation
perfect! 10/10
...something interesting that might help: if u cast maledict in skeleton king, kill him and he reborn the maledict effect will still work!

Wow this is quite i nice guide though i have 1 question. How fast does the death ward attk? could you please mail da answers to lil_azn_kid66@homail.com
Thx :D
splendid wOrk steve-o!!
..ground-breaking !!
..wish u could make one for rhasta..haha!
HEHE, nice tactic Steve-O
Thanks a lot!!! Steve O = great guides.
By the way, how long does the death ward last and roughly how far can it fire?
Steve-O bkit wlang dagon? isn't it important for Vol'Jin to have a Dagon? like just cast Maledic to the enemy hero then cast Dagon.. and I think you know what will happen aftermath.. Then that's it, upgrading Dagon would also benefit.. That's all po.. just additional item lng nman pra sakin ung Dagon..
gush!

i like teh screenshots...w00t! great job steve-o..best strat so far. +10 points for teh pictures ;p
****
nevermore was just to nub to run in those directions!
but i agree on Lothar's on voljin ^_^
Nice strategy, I see why it is #1 on the all time highest rated strategies.
You really took a lot of time to describe what to do and how to do it, the screen-shots help a lot also.
I really liked it, 10/10.

Nice strategy but nevermor and spiderman is a weak opponent against which doctor.
gud job steve o
nice job
COOL!!!
perfect guide mate!
nice job i know understand maledict and ill stop casting it last...heh perfect guide 5 stars.
goo job goo job!
dude nice strat ..but when do u used maledict??
you've probably read good job messages enough to know when to skip them but
GOOD JOB
@BizarreRide and interside
you need to cast maledict before doing any nukes., if you cast it later after nukes.. it is useless
great guide. Maledict+dagon+Death ward and then ww. My friend told the dagon and you told me the ww. the poison could do about 300 damage every 4 seconds.....
best guide
i know you.. u were vol'jin on my team and u owned bigtime. u got lothars and everyting exactly same as guide
Wow,amazing,how about Meledict follow by dagon?,oops about 750 damage
Steve-O, ang galing! Your strat works!
Uh Steve,(sorry for double posting) but you should add Dagon in your item build. Lvl 1 Dagon can inflict up to 600 damage if Maledict is Lvl 4, if im wrong, correct me ehehhe, but its OWNING!
beyond godlike someone KILL HIM!!
Nice guide, Doctor along with Rhasta = death!
Your Strategy is extremely Excellent. I love it.
one suggestion, that making a BKB makes u immune to spells when casting Death Ward. Take a look at it. Anyways a very good strategy. Love the Diagrams. 10/10.
Maledict+Dagon! A Very good Idea. I will try it!
this is great!
I think Dagon is more efficient & more effecive inventory for WD???I will be satisfied if you will include it..
But overall it is realistic..Because if you were an INT heroe you must finish the game as early as you can..
I have one question,is it match for WD to face Balanar?I find difficult to kill him and sometimes I am the one get kill>>>Aw...
yan b un son ?wahh pngbobong build amf..hahahah...lolz adik kpb ?hahah...msta n?
wow, u rocks steve! without your guide, my witch doctor become more powerful!
Thanks ya!
your pics are nice and easy-to-do strategies but on late game how can you make voljin not easy to die
Steve-O, you're great.
*applause at Steve-O's greatness*
. Nice screenshots.
Idol talaga kita.
wow very thorough. I've never played this char b4 but I will now. wait so the death ward attacks only heroes and will bounce off to nearby heroes am I correct? and do u no the range of the ward? lol o nd btw off topic. the new heroes in .44 r fukkin imba. great guide tho. 20/10
AMF LUPIT TALAGA NG STARATEGY ITO IDOL
i suggest black king bar instead of lothar.cuz lion and crixalis cant do anything when u re avatar
i have a big problem does anyone have an idea to how to DEFUSE vol jins maledict because it really makes me looooooose my temper when it hits u witha 400 bonus damage ???!!!! or is it possibly unstopable!?
Hmmm ... I really apreciate Steve-o's patience in making these guides, they are perfect for ppl that have recently started playing dota and in preparing them for the real thing :)... yet I don't understand why all the old players of this game insist with lothar on WD...I just don't like it :P I prefer a dager and if he gets past my ulti after casks and everything, I blink after him and cask him again (casks have only a few sec cooldown) bla bla bla maledict bla bla bla he should have died a long time ago. It's a much cheaper solution and after that I'd go for a torasque cuz WD is a int low hp hero :) guinsoo works very well to on this hero hexing the enemy and then ulti = dead enemy. Anywayz WD is a push hero and is generally recomended for spell-suport helping damage dealers... It would be suicide to try 1vs1 afeter lvl 16 with any agil or str hero
.This strategy is much better elaborated then the 1 for Jakiro :) Nice pics especially the ones when killing brood mother... funny guy, props;)
to haste,
bkb is good for playing against weak intel heroes but lothar's is much better for running away from ganks and playing against strength and agility heroes cuz their normal attacks r usually quite dmging and if u're running away, u may get killed.
Very good strategy. I have try use your strategy wind walk.. It is work.. Youre so smart huh... I think you should buy dagon.. Cast MALEDICT, DAGON, ULTI and WIND WALK
I think black king bar is the best item for this CRAZY DOCTOR.. Its worth it than lothar edge..
Lothar Edge = 9 sec wind walk give agility.Can be seen by GEM OF TRUE SIGHT ,AMPLIFY DAMAGE and SENTRY WARDS
Black King Bar = 10 sec Avatar give strenght.
He doesn't need agility but strenght
tanX mate !!
Good guide!
Thx!
does BKB work with this guy ???
nice guide! i usually equip WD with guinsoo then use it's ability before using ulti because i cant find the perfect timing in using the cask! ^__^ galeng-galeng!
perpekto pare masaya to
Good guide 8/10. I wont give it 10/10 because it is risky. If they have bounty hunter(track), broodmother(web) etc. or if they buy gem,necronomicon lvl 3 or wards, they can interrupt your ulti and ruin your ulti+lothars combo. I prefer dagon + hex. Cask first than (while he is stunned) cast quickly curse(Maledict) than cast dagon and hex + ulti. There is no way he can survive that because during 4 sec(he is sheep
) your ward will attack him lot of times + dagon and curse = sure kill.
BTW. That Nevermore player in pics is such noob
Hmm i wanna know what you ment that armour was discarded with the chaos ward. It means that the hero might as well be unarmoured, but it does not mean the armour rating is. Eg, the hero had 10 armour and you summoned the ward, the hero would be unarmoued but the ward would not bypass the 10 armour. Just to make things clear.
nice!
but you should have include "dagon"
sick
thats nice but not a very good strategy.......
Not a very good strategy???Are you nuts?
OMG.Look at the others steve-o's strategies...lol
I'd seen 3 of your strats, those are great strats!!!
But all of them are INT heroes,
Would you make AGI/STR hero strats?
BTW Good Job...
Great,,,,great,,,,
no doubt,,,vol'jin forever,,
tooooooooo gooood
This strat makes me want to play dota 24/7
i luv u steve
why can't he just use an arcane ring, why was that?
Lovely guide, thanks
skill
Nice strategy,good for noobs and pros too...dont use Witch Doctor that much,dont like it but I will give it a try,try to do something inspired on you
these 'pro' dota players dont seem to understand the basics of warcraft
LOVE IT!!! nice strat...im like shit at dota hopefully this can help me play better...my bros a freak and hahah if i beat him AWESOMENESS!!

good job steveo-o-o-o-o!!!!
can i buy dagon for doctor???
for voodoo restoration, you're right, it can easily be replaced by mekans IMO, but strange enough, you don't suggest mekans on your item build either, so hmm.., esp since you said this
"Teamplay is also one of the most important things that you should always remember when playing Vol'Jin.", so im a bit confused in that part, and you also didn't mentioned an alternative for aghanim in case you'll having troubled in farming, such as euls->guinsoo or dagon even, which IMO, stick to only 1 item build is not quite effective as it is, and you'll even only suggest necro for the alternatives, which IMO not really that useful for voljin at all.
Other than that, it still a good guide, but i still think that you can give more variation on the item build though
So overall, 8/10 from me
-Regards-
i'll try this one if i pick it in a random game
i'll try this one if i pick it in a random game
hmm....add dagon into your bulid...maledict plus dagon = ouch...
Early game, witch doctor is a feeder. But once he got the lothar/bkb and aganhim mid to late game, he rocks. I'd rather build BKB for regen and anti spells thus your ward channeling can't be cancelled. Lothar can still be countered by sentry wards or gem. But it really depends on the situation.
wow thx for yhe guide i owned 2 insane in 6.41 ai PLUS can you believe it
hey steve-o , im a new guy here. so i was wondering i was trying out your strategy guide.. when i stunned the hero and placed my ward exactly where you'd say earlier i got stunned .. everything got screwed including my life. this particular hero that did that to me was Bradwarden... any advice on how to counter him ?

@meshpotato
use BKB. BKB before you put yr ward.
Or check his mana 1st and see if he has mana to stun you.
Lothars is not good against AoE stuns.
hey i followed everything accordingly...ur items..ur style of attacking...i practiced and practiced like untill i was sure of it... but today i came across gondar the bounty hunter..i died miserably... how to fight against a hero like that... so annoying
hehehe very detailed and cute guide specially the drawings its quite funny but very detailed 10/10..
also try:
dagoon also its good for this hero..
Make more STRATS PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
very good strategy, but not the best.
everyone who atack you with bkb linkin lothar's can kill you expacialy bashers(void, troll,slitherin)
great guide !
good strat
Do not agree with kiro911.Try to avoid bashers lol.When you that none has chosen get Vol'jin and pwn.BTW they don't bash each attack...
ummm, nice strat but usually it's either bkb or lothars, depends on the situation... and i think you can drop your wards inside the chrono as well, you dont have to put it outside..
Great job steve.. I usually never played wid the doc.. But started ownin wid your strats.-
easy to understend!!
by the for you to not depend too much on your ward, dagon is a good solution.. haha!! chow!!
Sa lahat ng mga Pinoy dyan:
Itaas ang mga kamay at iwagayway! Ilagay sa ulo ang iyong mga paa!
Naglalaro ka rin ng GG?
*Dito na nagkakabukingan ang mga pinoy na member ng DS pag kapwa nila pinoy ang naghain ng masarap na pagkain(magaling na strategy) hehe...*
VIVALARAZA! MABUANG ANG MGA PINOY! *este MABUHAY*
ok you dont need my 10 stars, this is the exact strat ive been using a very long time on wd..
and yes..
warding is an art
Hahaha!! Here you are. I was playing GG and entered a room. I found a server named Steve-O, so I joined. Were on sentinel. ARNP mode. He randomed drow and I was spectre. I'm glad I met steve-O there. I asked him if he's the one from dotastrategy and he said yes I am. Hehehe. As expected, he's a good player though we lost hehe, sad but he got killing streak. Hey steve I already added you to my GG frends.. Let's play one more time and let's beat their crap. I thought you were going to choose APNP and use your favorite doctor hehe.. Anyway, nice game that was.
I agree with "qqq" really good quide man. Havent really understood voijn before now....
WAW! AStig! pinoy ka pala! Galing.. na22wa ako... sana magamit ko ng c Vol'jin.
Basta! astig astig astig ka!
nothing to say... just TWO THUMBS UP
I love Vol'jin, but i usually try to get dagon early game. Maledict + Dagon is my favoutrite combo.
Nc work! very well said! now i understand the meledict!
Nc work! very well said! now i understand the meledict!
Very nice strat.. I love it ^_^
Hey Steve..nyc Strat...i learned
much 4rm 8..
mabuhay pinoy..
Nice strat...Is it safe to add a dagon? Cuz maledict then dagon helped me get alot of easy kills.
Espacially when my death ward is on cooldown.
Hey hey hey...arent we getting a bit too materialistic these days? what happen to more is less? Save the gold for another time (e.g. investment, open a portfolio).
I say 6 ironwood branches ftw! Full inventory, you should be happy and content. Also, another way is to buy items for you teammates. Sharing is caring, where all one big dota family.
Also, vote Kevin Rudd '07
nice guide but you need dagon it goes so well with m
