i go phase vlads bkb battle furry later mkb or basher
no? i prefer vlads over domi
Aaaaaaaalso I'm pretty sure that statements like "X item on Y hero is pro cause Z player used it in competetive game once" are naive, at very least.
More of an individual preference, but I'd rather go early RoB into Aquila, and get Domi because ofa) ancient stacking - godlike farming if you get battlefury along with thatb) Satanic later on - simply stronger late gameVlads is such a support item, only two exceptions include Lycan and Ursa. But hey, if you're aiming for early Desolator (which has it's uses), then why not, might folow with vlads then.
Since i am playing pubs noone stacks camps. and i am busy with farming. and i think lifesteal helps laning better then aqulia. And yes i go with deso later for insane damage output.altough i dont make vlads if somone already makes.. then i switch domi build
Vlad gives u only some hp/mana regen and lifesteal.Dominator gives u lifesteal and armor which is hardly better against enemie that herass you while trying to last hit creeps.

You just dominate that creep, hotkey it, and each minute spend 3-5 seconds using that creep to stack. Later join the party with battlefury, and get 1,5k gold on instant. If not more.I wouldn't say it's still laning if you have vlads done. But even if, vlad pushes your lane, which doesn't really help you lasthit better. Neither does autoattack.Quote from: iNevermore on September 09, 2012, 19:46Vlad gives u only some hp/mana regen and lifesteal.Dominator gives u lifesteal and armor which is hardly better against enemie that herass you while trying to last hit creeps.A nitpick.Helmet of Dominator (1850g)+20 damage+5 armorLifesteal (passive) +15%Dominate (active)Vladimir's offering (2050)+2 HP/sec regenerationVampiric Aura (passive) +16%Damage Aura (passive) +15%Armor Aura (passive) +5 armor <- it's here.Mana Regeneration Aura (passive) +0.8 per second----Armor's indentical, lifesteal barely differs, hp regen is pretty neglible past laning phase, and helmet's damage bonus is better unless you're past 20 level. We're left with Dominate + satanic upgrade vs mana regen and having above effects in AoE around you. I'd take the former one, granted better farming capability and lategame upgrade. Unless situation call otherwise (for example, you somehow ended as add-on to 4 man pushing team).
