Unfinished :: Obsidian Destroyer - Harbinger

[ek0]

As discussed in this topic, I think guides by the players can be created.
So I will start posting topics like this one. Every week I will post a new topic with a new hero. Every member can suggest item build, skill build, gameplay... (and other). I will edit the first post with the best suggestions.
The next hero will be Destroyer.

Hero introduction
Among the small number of intelligence heroes who focus on getting a lot of powerful items late in the game, the Obsidian Destroyer relies on building up as much intelligence and mana as he possibly can. His deadly Arcane Orb enhances his attacks with large amounts of unresistable pure damage, and if his mana pool gets high enough the Obsidian Destroyer is capable of killing fragile enemies with only a few Arcane Orb attacks. Astral Prison is a useful ability, which can put a powerful enemy hero out of the fight or save an ally from death. In addition, it drains intelligence when cast on an enemy hero, and by repeatedly using this ability the Obsidian Destroyer can quickly reduce the enemies' mana pool, making it difficult for them to cast many spells. To keep both his own and his allies' mana pools full, the Obsidian Destroyer has a passive skill called Essence Aura. In addition to boosting the Destroyer's own mana pool, this aura gives any allied unit under its effect a chance to instantly regain a portion of their total mana pool every time they cast a spell. Essence Aura fuels Arcane Orb, giving the Destroyer potent damage with little risk of running dry. Although Arcane Orb and Astral Prison make the Destroyer deadly in small engagements, his powerful Sanity's Eclipse spell can turn the tide of large battles. An Obsidian Destroyer with a lot of intelligence items can kill or badly wound several enemy heroes at once with this spell. Few heroes are capable of putting out as much damage as a pumped up Obsidian Destroyer.
Background Story
An obsidian construct brought to life through the ill conceived necromancy of the Lich King, Harbinger craves magic to make up for the emptiness brought on by the incomplete nature of its summoning. Ironically however, to devour the magic that it so desires, Harbinger must tap into his own pool of mana time and time again, expending to the point where it ends up with even less than it began with. Yet despite this, the Obsidian Destroyer is a proud servant of the Undead Scourge, and takes great pleasure in annihilating the foolish Sentinels it encounters through psionic exploitation.
Skills

Arcane Orb Type: Active Gives the Destroyer extra power to damage his enemies based on his remaining mana pool. Damage type is pure. Casting Range: 450. Mana cost: 100. Level Cooldown % of damage (based on Destroyer's mana) Damage to summoned units 1 6 6 100 2 4 7 200 3 2 8 300 4 0 9 400 Deals pure damage. Does not stack with orb effects and buff placers.

Astral Imprisonment Type: Active Teleports a target allied or enemy hero into an astral prison. The hero remains separated from the real world for the duration of the spell. If cast on an enemy, Harbinger steals intelligence from the target. Intelligence is restored to the hero after 60 seconds. Casting Range: 550. Targets heroes. Level Mana Cost Cooldown Duration Intelligence exchange 1 120 18 1 2 2 140 16 2 4 3 160 14 3 6 4 180 12 4 8 If the target is an enemy, it will lose sight. If the target is an ally, intelligence won't exchanged.

Essence Aura Type: Passive Whenever a nearby allied hero casts a spell, it has a chance to restore 25% of its mana pool. Passively adds to the Destroyer's base mana pool. Area of Effect: 1000. Level Chance to restore mana (%) Mana increasment 1 10 75 2 20 150 3 30 225 4 40 300 Some skills will not activate Essence Aura.

Sanity's Eclipse Type: Active The Obsidian Destroyer unleashes his full potential; his mind unleashes a psionic storm able to penetrate lesser minds with terminal force, dealing massive damage to them. More crafty minds are able to resist most of the damage, but they expend most of their energies to do so, losing 75% of their mana. Heroes with more intelligence than the Destroyer are unaffected. Cooldown: 160 Level Mana Cost Casting range Area of Effect Damage (based on the difference between heroes intelligence and Destroyer's intelligence) Units, that take less damage are with 'crafty minds' 1 175 600 400 8x 80 2 250 650 500 9x 270 3 325 700 600 10x 500 Deals magic damage.

^ bad

Rushing travels makes you the squishiest hero ever

Getting str treads and guinsoo first (for the +20 str from ultimate orb and treads is good enough) then shivas for the armor is his core. BKB before guinsoo is situational.

Switch treads to int before casting ult as well

I don't know how to edit my posts (Sorry) but I would like to add that that is the best skillbuild for OD
