@ oh noes

Dev should be the initiator most of the time… so nullstone is a great counter for him… not for a team though, burpharvest never said that.

good guide, however the hook has been changed and has the same range at all levels, so maxing Decay first is certainly an option.

burpharvest, this is a teamgame, not 1v1
need I say more?

i had a 1v1 with my friend and even if i had all the item listed ,
i still couldn’t defeat him as he had the nullstone , i could hook him , rot myself but i can’t devour him , make me unable to kill him much of the time .

You underrate decay a lot… at least it seems like it. It’s goddlike for farming creeps, and it’s a great last-hit against enemies, considering you can just walk next to them and kill them (slows them as well). That should be your main ability.

Hook is pretty awesome though.

I don’t really get why shiceimnice said your guides bad. It’s really decent actually. His build is basically the same except for Post Haste. Pudge is suppose to have lots of tankie and health regen items seeing how he has to rot. Build is right too.

The only thing that is odd is Shrunken Head. It’s cost is a bit much and can stop you from getting other core items. In my opinion, it should be moved to luxury items.

Btw, has anyone considered the fast rot build? Normal skill build but get..

Bottle
Hack and Slash
Enhanced Marchers
Shamans Headress
Mock of Brilliance

..in that order.

Your mega fast so you can chase anyone down and just rot it. Concept has some flaws but still fun to use.

oh, also – i like to pick devourer if enemy gets a lot if int/agi heroes that are genrally low hp. Especially int because our headress and later armor skill will help against their magick damage. Str heroes will not die for just your hook+devour+rot, you will NEED allies to finish them quick. Hooking jeremiah for example will most likely end in our death after it pull a heal when your devour ends, and chacing with rot is pointless because of its magick immunity. Axe can make you attack melle whick you are not good at, pebbles stuns+throws you while u while you cant deactivate rot because of stun etc etc.. basicly they can easily own you unless you already have a huge advantage imo.

nice guide =). My build is pretty similar:

i normally get (no bottle XD):
2*crushing claws and depending on opponents:
3*runes or bligt OR
2*RoB + mana bottle

the reason for +6 str is that it helps if you go on side lane, u might get beat on while using rot, and this may start to hur bad. also, when ulti over and opponent survives it might hurt you as well.

on return, i get: Marchers – excellent for chasing enemies with rot, upgrade the claws to 2*braces (imo having more hp IS important) + something from the below list, depending on the gold. I complete all this at some point:

Scarab (cheap +50% mana regen. More mana = more hooks = more hits. And i like to hunt a lot..)
Components to build the shamans headress for obvious reasons. BTW, i like to get the trinkets a the LAST component, to reserve inventori space wich is sparce.

next i upgrade boots to enchanted marchers. So, u have boots, 2xbracers, headress and scarab. With these items this build is pretty much complete because u should b rapeing with these, if not then then you should concede cause its most likely a hopeless situation.

If i am doing well and enemy hasn’t conceded for whatever reason, i get the staff of master for nice ulti boost (damage bonus STR*0.75 + 100% life steal effect added).

skill build the same – armor and stats last.

hooking spots – i would like to add that especially in the early game, in the mid a very good spot is IN the river, not just the riverbank – hook an eney that is at his own tower. the creep wave that is just on the hillside will also block its return, should it survive your ulti, or you dont have mana for it.

Also, a very good ally is a stealth character, but only if it knows how to assist you – they can spot characters for you to hook.
