    Item builds for Sand Wraith!

    Lets get this thread started! Post any item build ideas, laning ideas, etc!

    ---

    After a few games with him I think that 2x wraith bands is necessary for dps early game for ganks. I farmed mock of brilliance early in one game but didn't find it extremely useful.

    I tried Hack and Slash as well for earlier-mid game item and found it pretty meh as well. I ended up with this build and really liked it:

    start:
    2x protectors
    2x runes
    1x mana

    core:
    2x wraith bands
    phase boots
    nullfire
    geomancers

    Ult+teleport to lone hero, zap them with nullfire and destroy them with geomancer 3x images+mana burn. It's a guaranteed kill almost every time.

    lux:
    heart (if having hard time staying alive)
    wingbow (if dominating and lots of melee)
    shieldbreaker (high hp heroes)

    I like the idea of going buckler then upgrading the poor mans shield in lane as someone mentioned. I'll have to try that out, which should help nuetraling.

    get babysat.

    KS with mirage+the sub skill and desert's curse.

    Farm up nullfire blade.

    Farm up mock.

    Farm up geometer's bane/behemoth's heart (depending on which way the game is going order can change).

    Basically farm up those items while ganking with your ult.

    Hero in a nutshell.

    Geometer's Bane, Behemoth's Heart, Mock are my favorites. Nullfire blade is nice but I actually don't find it THAT core.

    Nullfire blade is the best item for SW in terms of ganking. Honestly even as SW your teammates will expect some help from you before the team fights start happening.

    Its a great item, I just tend to rely on it less then other Spec/Wraith players do.

    Quick question. What spreads to his illusions? Would mock spread to all of his illusions, or are you mostly just getting it for the extra damage on the illusions? Wondering why people like mock on him.

    It's bugged right now apparently. Illusions from ult only do 1/3 dmg with mock.

    Phase boots. 3x talisman of exile. Diffusal.

    Realized that this hero is quite the arachna counter (the bug dies almost instantly x.x)
