General DiscussionVoid item build

If you had very good farm early (not contested) you either should get a fast BF or Midas into Maelstrom. BF really increases your farming and Maelstrom works well with the AS from Midas. From there you could get a MoM as second item, or just rush a BKB depending on the game. Then you just focus on late game stuff like Butterfly, MKB, Daed and sometimes a refresher.

i like midas on void if u get it within 5-7 minutes, if the other team is "average", they generally will tend to prolong the game giving you time to make efficient use out of your midas and outlvl/outfarm most others in the game.

since they increased bash dmg in chronosphere "hits for 2x, so 140 bonus dmg at lvl 4" i went more atk speed over dmg initially.

so midas --> MoM --> treads (you can go phase... but again i prefer AS on void, also moves @ 1000 ms anyways in chrono)
--> mjolnir --> daedalus --> "last item is generally pretty situational", you could go MKB if they have too much evasion or bfly to add more EHP on top of your backtrack"

i had a game where they had AA / voker so i needed BKB for sure

and my definite situational item that game was shadow blade, im fairly certain i wouldnt have been able to catch them off guard w/o it and my time walk wasn't cutting it for enough escape or initiation

yes MoM makes you squishy, but its 1900 for the AS of two hyperstones. high risk high reward type of deal.

^ If you didn't have CM, how would you solve your mana issues?

Just be efficient with your gold. Rushing something like daedalus first item yomate is not good.

Myself I usually go as Sam said, midas to maelstrom or battlefury. If neither, Midas->Yasha->BKB->Manta->Clarity.

Bretty.

idk if cm was the big factor... i mean she kinda pissed off tide into giving free kills for awhile

she shoulda been the one in lane harassin timber but she went jungle and then got a midas... so yeah :/

3 of them were just insultin each other and ragin and we ended up winnin anyways lol

1) If line is good, go midas - u need as much atack speed as u can. Then PT->BF->MOM. After u can go whatever u need according to ur opponents pick and items.
2)If everything sux - go PT-Midas-Cristlis. Cheapest and most effective DPS.

Having mask of madness and at least treads by the time you hit level six can let you safely solo kill a lot of heroes from even full hp with your ulti, not too shabby if you ask me. Midas might actually be a speedbump here.
