                  Finally, if you like planning, you could also think whether this game looks like it will go on for a very long time (multiple hard-carries on either side, low push potential of either team etc.). If you have your Blink Dagger, and Force Staff isn’t going to be a really good choice, going for mana is a very good option. If, however, Force Staff is vital or preferable (e.g. Lifestealer on the enemy team), going for extra regen can allow you to get to the item much faster. Having extra regen also helps a lot in the long run, if your team will need you to transition into a core role.

                  So you are adguing for mana in a long run and arguing against mana in a long run.

                  Dota at it's finest no noe has the idea, everyone has the i dea zzz

                                  Sinauthor

                                    Been playing offlane like this for years in pubs

                                    Klem

                                      Slardar #4 is a thing since the mana cost reduction on a spell that used to be called Amplify and the mana cost removal on Sprint. It's been perfectly viable for a while (well over a year) . Pros and websites are slow on the catch, since it's innovative pubs that play these things regularly.

                                        Guess it's time for some innovating.

                                        Good read -- I think the latest nerfs might have been too much. I'm curious to see what the pros do in Kiev.

                                              very good for lotus orb pick after mobility

                                              Frency

                                                Slardar is a hero that has been created in order to fit the carry role. Using him as a support (he is not a support, technically) can be useful, can work, but it's kinda a waste. The passive spell becomes useless since the non-carry build does not get attack speed items, so what he does is just blink, stun and ulti, and then going away and that's it. No other damage except soe cases. Which is a waste, compared to what would he d if he would be built as a carry (like he should). Same goes for Kunkka support (which isn't), Monkey King roaming, Pudge roaming, ecc.
                                                P.S. This is my opinion.

                                                    first!!!!!! oh wait

                                                    Slimy

                                                      Frency what you say would make sense if dota was a solo game when playing support slardar you want i big right clicking carry on your team to take advantage of your ulti. Seeing hero as only carry or support hero will limit the way you play. All the hero's you names as weaker supports have great utility and lock down this is makes them strong.

                                                      PogumonMemann

                                                        Frency, Carry Slardar is okay-ish. Loda used to love that idea until Slardar became a trending offlaner. The problem with offlane Slardar is he just isn't that good later on compared to other carries. He gets out-carried hard. The idea behind offlane Slardar is that you are allowing yourself to draft Slardar, obtaining all his utility because Crush and Corrosive Haze are good spells, while not limiting the late-game potential of their draft. Pos4 Slardar was made in response to his added roaming ability, and how people start playing greedier and greedier supports. He is a good offlaner and a support, since all he really needs is a Blink, while providing so much utility to the team.

                                                        Blink, Stun, Ulti, is also what most initiating offlaners do. Centaur, Axe, and Nyx also do similar things. Nothing wrong with that. Its just that he really is just worse as a carry because he doesn't scale well later on, and Sprint would do more harm than good for a carry. Playing him as a carry is actually more of a waste to be honest.

                                                        he's a smurf

                                                          lately i've been spamming slardar in almost every game, i really fucking love this hero, you can have so many options while playing him regarding he's role and item builds and i think i have only one loss in 5 games average just playing slardar, right now he's mt favorite meta hero

                                                          Frency

                                                            That's why I said it's my opinion. I mean, we play a game where even Weaver roaming works, so I guess Slardar support is totally legit. And it works as well as we all can witness. I would add something more, but... no will to.

                                                            potanginanyo

                                                              Why get hood when you can aim for bkb. Just a waste of 1725 gold.

                                                                But slardar is carry role in dota1 so carry role is not new for him.
