gank build

okay, so when i come home from a long day, i just want to destroy some noobs and brighten my day.
char:mary

frost nova


befuddle


banish


silent night


ps normally i make the game ss so i dont have to worry about early farm, but i want to use this in a non-ss mode. so any suggestions?

Dont. Gank builds always fail in the end. If you rlly want switch to a stronger int like troll n swap out frost nova for chain lightning and befuddle for holy light. That way u can atleast farm AND gank.

Banish Heal and or silent night is so over played learn a new combo scrubs.

My gank build, which far outplays the basic gank build, and is better for pvp, imo...

Lich Queen
Soul Burn (slow, 1 point)
Shadow Strike (Initial damage is decay damage, slows)
Parasite (DoT)
Demon Spawn


Parasite deals more damage over 15 seconds than nova does; except parasite is a much lower mana cost. Shadow strike is a great slow and last hitter. Soul burn is simply to cancel channels or slow movespeed. Demon spawn stuns are to keep people from healing while DoTs kill them.

While all 4 of these abilities work great for ganking, they are also amazingly strong for late game; in case you fail at ganking.

But glorn youd have to rely entirely on fire orb or bombs till lvl 8 when you could get demon to help with auto attacking to farm. and by then if your running against, say, a flamestrike whirlpool build, youd be outleveled. a lot. and im talking about under normal circumstances. youd be able to farm with befuddle if you wanted to. but thats you.

parasite can easily get 7 for duels... and this is a gank build; so, you should also have 3-4 kills by then. this is not a 1v1 build.

well i took some of ur ideas and made this new ganker build. less focus on ganking and a little more on farming.
siren
magic barrage
ww
mana restore
and silent night/ mana shield

I would recommend swapping out wind walk with something that has a little more substance for late game.

Wind walk damage is "Attack damage" that is, it is like a crit, and it cannot miss. Wind walk is really good if you plan on winning the game before level 20. Which is why it is great for ganking games. Mana shield doesnt start to get really decent until level 20 or so.

I a 1v1 game, you could run ww+MS though; get a lot of kills early, and still have MS to fall back on for the last 2 kills later in the game. If you really wanna go with a build like this, you gotta learn it really well though.

Also, dont use barrage; it is more of a melee spell; the spell shoots 600 in an AOE of your hero.. for best results; stand inside a mob. Frost fall is a little less DPS, but you can cast it from outside the creep spawn; allowing a frail siren to not get eaten.

if your lookign for a good gank build, you should think about dragon punch/acid rain.

shadow essence, dragon punch, hex, acid rain, (big dmg ulti or disable.. silent night? doom roots? death orb?)

basically you put one point on hex and lvl drag and acid on par with eachother. you should be able to scrape ALOT of kills in the early game. it loses effectiveness once they get large ams pots, spell reduc, and that stuff, but if your going into mid-late game and you only need a couple of kills to win, grab a frost staff and try for permastunning them, you need lotsa mana to pull it off tho. dragon punch does huge dmg and stuns, but you need to be really up close to cast it, use ww items to gank with it.

glorn2, ive tried using ff witht this build, and it seems that its just easier to run thru a spawn and kill it entirly with magic barrage. also i can run next to som1 then use it after ww rather that having to aim ff. also the ww then attck then magic barrage then silent night a helpless guy in a duel works really well. so i think im gunna keep magic barrage. and if i feel like im gunna be very weak at the beggining and theyll try to gank ill swap silent night for mana shield and i wont be weak, because i normally get to lvl 10 before duel. also i normally play pubs so i dont really need to worry a whole bunch about counter because they dont kno what to do. and this build did destroy wrathtoruin yesterday when he randomed. 16-0. it might of just been luck, but im still gunaa stick with magic barrage for a while

By adding the skills, I created all builds.
By running the bot, verti allows all of you to use builds
by maintaining the bot, wrath allows all of you to regularly use builds
everyone in the clan is the reason I continue to edit the map; thus allowing you to continue using builds
everyone who tests the map, allows for the map to be balanced in a way that makes the skills in your build usable.
any build you can think up; can be obtained through the -random command


So, I mean, you can argue that the most genaric build in the world is yours; or you can contribute to a conversation in a meaningful way.

Just sayin'

and im not saying i created this build, i just thought of it during math class. someone else might have created this earlier, and if so, point me to that post, cuz i would also like to see those comments. but i did not just tak it from som1, i just thought of a good combo with siren.
