Support NeoGAF

[Dina]

Honestly after dropping Golem, using Fatal Bonds, and hopefully channeling upheavel for a few seconds, there isn't much for a warlock to do but use the subpar heal / DoT, Auto-Attack, or wait for the CD on the slow to come up so you can channel it again. Everything else is just icing on the cake.

If their Tide had Refresher and Vyse it's at the point of the game where your either going to die really quickly cause your getting focused, or you have some type of utility ( Ghost Scepter, Force Staff ) that's going to let you escape.

Hmm. I'm playing Warlock as Hellbringer, but the skills are not alike in a lot of ways. I skilled his hot/dot and fatal bonds, was that a mistake as well? Should I have gone for bonds/upheaval in a duo lane?

I usually skill the heal / Dot and Bonds, 1 level in upheaval though.

 

[Neki]

I go stats + shadow word in dual lane. max fatal bonds once I max out my shadow word.

 

[vehn]

Did the servers go down or something?

 

[raphier]

Yes

 

[kneePat]

Servers are back up.

edit: crashed again

 

[n0b]

Urn of shadows is too situational for my tastes. Also, tide isn't a support by any means.

Tide is completely a support.

 

[Neki]

next people will tell me sand king isn't support

oh you guys

 

[Togglesworlh]

I think for some reason people think that if a hero doesn't have heals, they aren't support. But! There's more than one kind of support.

Lich isn't a support.

 

[Togglesworlh]

your face isn't a support

 

[Stahsky]

If I can't spam heals, then how am I supposed to support my team?! Shields and mana regen are for losers.

 

[Archie]

Get a Mekanism. Everybody is a support.

 

[Neki]

just ask kag

mek magebane is best support

blink in, mek, do no damage, run away.

 

[rac]

Actually you need a blink dagger first. That way you can blink in, mek, blink out.

I saw a pro player on honcast get a portal key on magebane, must be a pro build.

 

[x3r0123]

it seems that some people have the wrong definition of support -.-

 

[rac]

it seems that some people have the wrong definition of support -.-

anti mage is the best support because he can blink places and set down easy wards. That way tidehunter can farm safely in lane.

 

[Archie]

Riki is the best support because he can be invisible while placing wards.

 

[Raxus]

it seems that some people have the wrong definition of support -.-

What have I done.

[rac]

Riki is the best support because he can be invisible while placing wards.

Yeah but if you have an antimage on your team he doesn't even need money for wards he can just blink up on the cliff.

 

[Neki]

skeleton king is second best support because he can get into those dangerous spots for wards and come out alive, because, he's skeleton king.

so compare a vengeful spirit with 15 deaths, sk will only have half of those deaths because of his ultimate

 

[PillowKnight]

Support morphling is best morphling.

 

[Raxus]

Support morphling is best morphling.

Support Pudge I think edges him out.

 

[shintoki]

I like your definitions of support.

 

[raphier]

Sadly nobody is the best carry with six slots in the inventory.

 

[HK-47]

Sniper is best fire support team bravo.

 

[Kaper]

Anyone else having trouble connecting?

 

[Raxus]

Servers are down.

 

[Neki]

guys, how viable is earthshaker going battle fury? it synergizes well with his + damage skill, gives mana regen and makes him hit like a truck. he also has a lot of stuns, meaning he can always auto attack his enemy, it should work right. he seems more of a carry than a support in my eyes.

ES shouldnt be farming that much, which is what BF is primarily for.

 

[Swag]

Neki best troll.

you know what his second skill does right

 

[Artanisix]

Real men get Daedulus on Earthshaker since enchant totem can crit.

 

[HK-47]

Yes? Your point?

 

[Neki]

Real men get Daedulus on Earthshaker since enchant totem can crit.

crit isn't guaranteed, but splash damage works 100% of the time. why get something that is rng when you can get something that always works.

Yes? Your point?

you get that bonus damage in a splash radius from battlefury, it sounds really good.

 

[Artanisix]

Because real men are willing to take risks.

 

[tuxor]

people actually skill totem? whatamireading.jpg

I'm kinda glad to hear the servers are down so I will actually be productive, then I realize I got a Path of Exile beta invite...so much for that.

 

[Neki]

also, earthshaker really needs the farm, he can get a shivas, refresher, blink, sheep stick and he can basically solo the whole enemy team.

I can think of a lot of other heros that can solo the whole other team with those items or equal value.

I mean, Faceless void with FACEBOOTS and about half of the value of those items can solo the whole team.

Actually, Void is a carry who really needs support. He is a melee hero and his sphere doesnt last long enough to take down more than two heroes.

 

[Ultrabum]

Ya, but with the money hes talking about, you could have a lothars to sneak in, and a blink dagger, and a refresher... I mean come on, were talking unlimited money here.

 

[Togglesworlh]

ultimoo is best poster in thread

 

[Neki]

well for one, you're not going to have enough mana on most heroes to use all your items and refresh them to use them again. my earthshaker build lets you do that though.

 

[tuxor]

psh my 6 refresh zeus build is miles above your infinimana es. sit in fountain and spam w and item keys. gg.

 

[Ultrabum]

All I'm trying to say is that you would have already won the game if you ever get all those items on one person in any game. Like a riki with 6 butterflys is really good in theory too, but its just not gonna happen.

 

[Neki]

uh 6 refresher orbs don't refresh themselves.

can we be serious here, I'm trying to discuss an actual build.

 

[Sibylus]

Kag would be the kinda person to thoroughly chew out his team/kids and then apologize afterwards. Hue Hue.

I would really like to work on getting better with my micro in this game with Chen/Warlock etc. Anyone here had any success with a program like autohotkey?

Edit: coool

So wait, this would allow you to use space + qwerasd for items?

 

[ksan]

best item build on best hero

Spoiler

maybe the worst video ever though
