Puppet and chronos are the two best heroes with geometers

Its hard to believe you’d get this and forget >> I’ve used geo’s bane and it’s so awesome on carries who actually can use it. Especailly nighthound or maliken who can just do Alot of damage in a short time. Not to mention that chronos can perma stun with this. ALot of people would choose items over this, but they are sorely mistaken since the illusions makes a huge difference in fights.

thank you Kahgar, you’re completely right. As I’m noobish I buy in the way you’re talking about. When i get geometer’s I end up almost always forgetting to use it, which makes it worthless. I’d rather go with a safer s&y, which is what I tend to buy for carries. When i get used to using active items more I’ll get it, but for now passive items are much better for me.

An important thing to note about using geo with hound is the following:

• You must have backstab leveled for the illusions to carry it over.

• The illusions do 33% ATTACK DAMAGE

• Backstab is added to your ATTACK DAMAGE and is therefore reduced.

• Essentially your two illusions combined do only 66% of your agility as
backstab damage.

it’s a question as old as dota itself. why aren’t people getting “x-item” over H&S (old sange and yasha) or battlefury (runed axe).
answer is simple, if you’re unsure about the way you play (lack last hitting, taking long to farm, don’t know when to gank, how to gank, how to get kills without wasting your ulti on 1 dead target and so on) you’re more likely to get items with cheap components.
S&Y is a very expensive item but since most “low-skilled* (some hero’s it’s good on I know that) spend most of the game trying to get it they don’t see that they could have had a better item instead. Same goes for runed axe, people think they need passive mana/health regen rather than 3 consumables they will get sustainer on nearly every carry they play which ends up becoming runed axe.
Back to geomancers, while it is a good item, a lot of people I know rather get items taht give passive stats/bonuses’ than having to press 1 button or 1 shortcut on your keyboard (look just for fun around 1500 the correlation between APM and items). This plus the 2100g orb that doesn’t really do that much for them in their eyes they won’t get it usually.

Geo is great with hound.

The illusions carry over the backstab ability (If it is leveled)

good on any agi hero that has some sort of passive stun or bonus damage or aura. Other then that, getting the thunder claw and this is a good combo as well
