Blacksmith Help

[Ranny]

I have been wanting to play Blacksmith for a while but i don't know any item builds. Can anyone help me with that?

mana ring (the one with an active mana heal with a cooldown) and/or bottle then staff of the master

the rest of your money goes towards wards in midgame and sheepstick/purgestick/summonbook according to need lategame.

In my experience playing Ogre Magi (Blacksmith), Rushing a Bloodstone (Sacrificial something or other, the item that gains charges as you get kills) is a better alternative if you can get it before 20-23 minutes. From here, you can farm your Mystic Staff (Acolyte's Staff), then dismantle your Bloodstone to make Aghanim's Scepter (Staff of the Master), using the Perseverance (Sustainer) for a Linken's Sphere (Null Stone) or Battle Fury (Runed Axe). Guinsoo's Scythe of Vise (Totem of Kundra) is better suited on other Int heroes that can make better use of the extended mana pool, as Blacksmith's mana pool/regen is big enough. If there are no other int heroes that can use it, or your team seriously lacks disables (Rule #1 of pubs comes into mind "Every random pubber thinks they're the carry"), You'll have to get one.

At the moment, Necromonicon is bugged, and won't give true sight at level 3. Blacksmith is not a hero really suited for it, though the bonuses from the item benefit him well. I'd much rather see it on Enigma (Tempest) than Blacksmith.

Cool thanks for the help!
