Watching players in brackets from 1600 to 1900, the potential of this seems to be overlooked a lot.
Of course there are situations where you will have to wait to use your ability for whatever reason.

A good example is Aluna. I see a lot of players walking up to a hero, uses stun and starts auto attacking and then finishes with power throw when they get out of attack range. Now consider the same situation where Aluna uses her power throw initially, then runs in and starts auto attacking. The thing is that Aluna might be able to use ANOTHER power throw due to it's quite short cooldown(10 sec).

It's not possible for Aluna do execute this in all situations, as I pointed out earlier. Is this something you try to keep in mind?
I feel like it has quite a big impact and I've seen many situations where this was the difference between a kill and a failed one. Aluna is quite a good example as her power throw has a long range and a short cooldown which keeps the opponent in a zone of danger for this skill for a longer period of time.

The years I have played this game I can't recall this being mentioned to me or having read it somewhere. I feel like it is very logical but might be easily overlooked. ]]> Strategy Nuffing http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?496914-Using-your-skills-as-early-as-possible http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?496803-Sand-wraith-with-Elder-parasite&goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 16:13:35 GMT Is this worth it?

The basic concept seems great: slow an enemy with Q, then hit him with elder parasite on to gain maximum usage of your W's true damage. While at the same time amplifying the damage you take to increase the reflective damage of E. Sand wraith is tanky and now also has life steal (usually not seen on him) so his survivability doesn't get harmed that much. Furthermore, Sand Wraith rarely needs a shrunken head, so unless SH is absolutely needed you can fully utilize the activation modifier of Elder Parasite.

To me it seems only a good idea if you have a shitty early game farm. Elder parasite is cheap and can secure you a few kills to get your GPM going. Use this cash to make your Mock of Brilliance. And if your farm is REALLY ****, you could always break up your helm of the black legion and use the beast heart to make elder parasite and get a few easy kills. ]]> Strategy Flandre http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?496803-Sand-wraith-with-Elder-parasite http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?496787-Support-and-stacking&goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 14:23:46 GMT Since 3.1 I find myself stacking jungle a lot less as a support.

I always feel like I'm giving up a huge DPS boost if I don't buy EP, is it a must have (especially with the new changes)?

I normally build him: runes+shield+hatchet > steamboots+EP+ironshield > savage+wingbow+charged+riftshards

Are there any better item combinations (Genj/Frostburn/Geo/Demonic)? What are your views on SotM?

I am wondering how do you guys last hit creeps.

To be precise. You can either right click a creep or press "a" and then point to a creep or next to it.

Also when not hitting, when positioning a char before it you can use the hold possition, which by default is "h" or stop "s".


What is your style?

The removal of the amplified damage on HF really leaves the door open for alternative builds. Would Grimoire be a possibility? You get your amp dmg back and would also get a nice little dot bonus...not to mention the extra hp it provides that HF didn't. PK is always a viable option. SH would be good in some situations. Maybe getting codex past level 1?

Someone made a very insightful claim that amongst pro tournaments, you keep seeing the same 10-15 heroes banned, drafted, and played.

If there was a major tournament tomorrow, which 10-15 heroes would 1900 MMR players bank on for winning it?
