The return of arc warden? in General Discussion
A Wild Pikachu Has Appeared!

    7.21d
    ARC WARDEN
    Agility gain increased from 2.1 to 2.4
    TEMPEST DOUBLE
    Tempest Double duration increased from 16/18/20 to 16/20/24

    These buffs are indeed good, however the hero was nerfed indirectly due to midas nerfs. It is also rarely viable in the meta where jugg, naix are popular( magic immune negates most of arc damage), i think this will not be enough to bring the hero back

    In addition, i have created a guide on arc warden in dota 2 for his item builds and abilities titled(Divine's Arc Warden Mid guide)

      That hero was already back imo, this is some fucked up shit tbh.

            the buff isnt that much i guess, a lot of heroes can fill his position and perform better. still a long way from being op

              An increase of about 7 points of agility by level 25 doesn't every make or break a hero. However, 20% more time on the ultimate is pretty awesome.

                  is the cooldown reduction reduction talent too bad compared to the attackspeed?

                    wat where's the text

                    A Wild Pikachu Has Appeared!

                      while 8% cooldown reduction is good, 30 attack speed is very valuable for a hero like arc warden that doesnt have much attack speed, it will improve his fighting and farming ability more than a 8% cooldown reduction

                        ^but the CD reduction synergize with Midas tho. It also increase the uptime of your temptest.

                          This meta is all about ending fast, rotations, and as few junglers as possible. Extra 4 seconds won’t fix that. Hero can’t do anything without mael boots and escape item. At that point, most meta heroes are just at their peak. While arc needs another control item, and a damage item, to get to that peak.

                            Now that i checked it in demo . Getting 8% reduction and then getting octarine means only 3 sec of ulti downtime . That item is reallly really good for magic build . Or is it ? Dear top 8 arc players ?

                            KiLLiNg._.MaCHinE

                              It also gives arc some well deserved hp . Damn dude why ppl dont really build that when going magic ? Just 3 sec of downtime !!!!
                              Plus for rat doto 30 sec BOTs cd

                                  this hero is so hard to play

                                  Jacked

                                    i dont like mid lane. so can i paly him safe?

                                      Sir, what do u think about going necro book lv 1 before midas?

                                      A Wild Pikachu Has Appeared!

                                        nerco book used to be really good, but changes to the meta made nerco book as first time pretty awful now, i feel arc is best played with the magic build(choosing the spark talents) and getting eb dagon hex etc

                                          Do you follow that guide in almost all of your games sir?
