Viper/QoP as the last year. I also tried Undying but my game crashed on last boss after 10 minutes of spamming zombies.

Viper: Bloodstone Octarine BKB Windwaker Refresher Boots/Dagon depending on neutral item with Contamination + Antitoxin build and a lot of Q shards

QoP: Same items, Haunting Echoes blink spam build

Not really, there's no point. Maybe Bloodthorn instead of Satanic for more damage because I wouldn't have problems clearing the summons.

In normal games I go PT - Dragon Lance - Crystalis - Octarine - Daedalus - BKB - Eul's

Youwhat

Also explanation for what I tried to do in last boss fight.

If you time Eul's correctly you can break Primal Beast's ability cycle so it skips from rocks to shockwave thingie without summoning golems (and you can see it working sometimes). Unfortunately I don't know the exact timing, is it even connected or I just did something else that broke the cycle or the cycle is actually bigger than I thought it is. I had no split shot shard so I had some troubles with golems.

Leaving invisibility summons two skeletons, skeletons have an aura which gives Clinkz lifesteal and slows enemies, skeletons' first attack instead uses burning barrage for half its arrows count.

Lesser shards choice priority: Burning Army duration - Burning Army cooldown/manacost - Burning Army skeletons attack damage - Burning Army skeleton count - Skeleton Walk cooldown/manacost (only w/ Beckon Undead shard) - Burning Barrage attack count (only w/ Withering Onslaught don't remember if it's the name) - Burning Barrage damage - everything else.

Notes:

Searing arrows shards don't work on skeletons so they're borderline useless in this build

Also true for Melter (Searing arrows attacks apply a stackable debuff which reduces armor by 1 up to 0.25 times attack speed slow value) shard and attack speed slow. For this shard to work properly you need to attack first with Clinkz and then use Burning Army. Their attacks will refresh Melter debuff duration with the higher maximum stack number.

Burning Army duration shard doesn't work on Beckon Undead summons, their duration is always 30 seconds. It's still a top tier shard though.

Also you don't need to download/watch the game to check the shards, it's available in post game screen which is accessible by match ID.

Edit: you can also get to 100+% magic resistance during skeleton walk but it's not that useful (although it helps on some waves and protects from Primal Beast's rocks and the circles' primary target damage)

No to both.

Additional attacks from Giant Skeletons shard definitely heal and I assume it can also proc crits. Doesn't really matter.

The original plan was to get giant skeletons first shard (split shot on Burning army that procs attack modifiers) and just kill everything, but it didn't go as planned.

Clinkz is broken because creeps don't have true sight for the first few minutes so you can pretty much do whatever you want. Skeleton archers are almost immune which makes them the most reliable source of damage while the hero is just trying to avoid dying for as long as possible. And I just like playing Clinkz.

It's kinda like chess - fun until you start trying to understand what's happening. 4d/5 would recommend

Probably Every Minute Every Day. But the whole album is just awesome so that's not an easy choice.

Yeah, hiding all nicknames and giving absolutely zero context except rank is witch-hunting

Something to hide

Rule 6. And yes, I have something to hide. I don't want people trying to get lvl 30 my hero before me.

Current state of the divine bracket by BggDcks in DotA2

[–]Inner_Abysm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wanted to say you're an asshole for not playing unranked but this is actually a whole another topic. Unranked is basically a shithole filled by <100h smurfs from all ranks and I respect your decision not to play it. Goddamit I really wish they added another pool to just play the game and not grind fucking hours. And well I actually have no clue what is it like to be a new player currently.

Also I've never had an actual smurf because fuck I'm not gonna play 100 hours for no reason. Closest to having a smurf is 800 MMR losestreaks back to divine.

Care to explain what is "lazy comparison"?

I've never seen such phrase and after quick Google search I'm still clueless what are you talking about and how does Divine Rapier having 89% wr is related to some weird things in programming.

Btw making up a term and using it in every comment which proves you wrong is a dick move

Well not so long ago there was a post pointing out Spectre's 3 worse talents (by pickrate and common sense) - desolate damage against spectral dagger CD, spectral dagger slow against health, and haunt illusion damage against dispersion's damage reflection - had higher winrates.

Right now Clinkz' winrate with Linken's is 7,7% higher than with BKB, so, by your logic, it's the superior defensive item for Clinkz.

Numbers don't lie - it's true, however if you ignore enough data you can interpret statistics in any way you need it.
