So you're thinking about buying an ult stick?

Just remember that a lvl1 codex is cheaper and gives you more damage on pyro and witch slayer.

SO will you idiots stop buying this useless item?

increased survivability, manapool and boosted ult. all in one item that is easy to assemble -> 4 x 1000g parts
newbs choice #1. just deal with it.

Codex also costs you mana (not really an issue on Witch Slayer), doesn't provide the stats SotM does.

Codex is also a typical "idiot"/"troll" pick outside of those heroes that directly benefit from it (Blacksmith or generally anything with spell penetration or magic armour reduction. I refuse to put Parasite and/or Scout in this category ).

Codex harkons scout is the best.

I agree with scout, but why you put parasite in the same category as scout ? I think codex on parasite is a really viable item.

Well I've seen it argued that his design revolves around such burst, but I'm not that familiar with the hero. I also hate the hero with the force of a thousand stars, as I tend to play support.

I really want to see carrysite one day, but that's offtopic.

As for the SotM, It really is a survivability thing. I STILL don't get it on pyro or WS cause there are other items than that OR codex to get, but SotM can be really helpful.

SoTM on magmus is great, paired with spellshards is pretty high dmg

I'm mainly *****ing about people buying it on pyro and witch slayer where it only boosts there ult by 200 damage at every level. Where codex is double.

It always pains me to see pyro's with Staff of the master. Even in mid wars, they don't realise that spellshards provides a bigger damage increase for all 3 of your spells (including your ult) and provides you with great Int and attack speed (that combos well with fervor).
Not to mention that an early Sotm will boost 1 of your spells which has a cooldown, while you are spamming phoenix wave and dragonfire all the time.

Well before some games I got pyro on my team with pk+spellshardslvl3+stom and he just one shot enemy monkey king with his ult Monkey king got soemthing like 1k-1,1k hp and was really fed but not smart enough to buy shrunken or null
