excuse me it's called a Shaper
"Passive
Salous can use his abilities freely."
Does that mean his abilities have no mana cost? How is that a passive and not something you would just assign to the individual skills? Seems like some lazy hero/champ/whatever design.
It might actually be not too far from the truth.

the sad thing is I kind of want to try dawngate

Hearthstone did more for Halloween than Dota 2
They didn't actually add this card to the game, but they created art for it - which is still more than Dota 2.

You reminded me they got a new hero today!
Dawngate is the best.
Salous the Pentinent
Is their beta limited to a few days a week? Got in for this weekend but I'm not sure if it's one time or they just don't have the servers up all the time.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
They're up Thursday through Sunday I think.

I'll check back when I get back. I'm pretty sure I have at least 4 for DawnGate left. Maybe 1 for Strife.

Yeah, likewise.
I just tried 6.79 Axe.
I don't know how good he is (nor do I care because he's Axe) but god damn if you make Bloodstone and Scepter on him you become the DUNK GOD!
You kinda need both though if you want to go for a Dunk heavy game. Bloodstone instead of Vanguard or any other tanky item to keep your mana and health up while Scepter so that you can get the high threshold to kill. Otherwise the ulti has too low of a threshold to make impact in team fights. At 625 you can definitely get some chain deaths going on in a team fight.

No halloween event sure does suck.
Are they really not in CD? Never looked that close.
yea, this is what I'm saying! Bloodstone, aghs, linkens, blade mail (thorn mail, whatever the f it's called).
Brood and Slark are not. They of course were before 6.79 but were removed from CD when they were removed from CM.
I guess it could be the way Valve implemented it and CD just draws from the same pool as CM with the CD restrictions added?
No need for Linkens, would rather get Blink.
A lot of theory crafters have told me that Blade Mail on Axe is a bad idea and it's counter intuitive to how the hero works. In real matches though it works out well for me so I occasionally make it against glass cannon heroes.
+40 armor = more than 70% damage reduction.
Then that damage is sent back as magic damage that gets reduced by the heroes natural resistance of 25% for most, if not outright blocked by PipeBuff/BKB
I dont think is worth unless you are targeting the hard carry. And even then you are going to use the taunt when the carry has used bkb, to waste some of his precious time.

So this whole time I've been writing down lists of heroes I enjoyed playing, to remind myself when it comes to RD or SD that I should pick so-and-so if given the choice because I had fun with that hero. My list got too big though so today I decided that a better idea would be to make a hero shit list, to remind me which heroes I didn't enjoy playing. Here's my Dota 2 Shit List so far:
STR
Alchemist
Axe
Beastmaster
Brewmaster
Doom
Huskar
Io
Night Stalker
Sand King
Skeleton King
Timbersaw
Tusk
AGI
Anti-Mage
Bloodseeker
Drow Ranger
Lone Druid
Meepo
Phantom Lancer
Razor
INT
Batrider
Chen
Invoker
Pugna
QoP of Pain
Storm Spirit
Visage
Witch Doctor
Some of those could change, but for one reason or another I didn't have a good time with those heroes.
SMITE is awesome
STR
Alchemist
Axe
Beastmaster
Brewmaster
Doom
Huskar
Io
Night Stalker
Sand King
Skeleton King
Timbersaw
Tusk
AGI
Anti-Mage
Bloodseeker
Drow Ranger
Lone Druid
Meepo
Phantom Lancer
Razor
INT
Batrider
Chen
Invoker
Pugna
QoP of Pain
Storm Spirit
Visage
Witch Doctor

Sand King is one of the few heroes on that list I might be willing to reconsider.
I didn't like Night Stalker when I played him. I feel like if you fuck up early (which I did) he becomes useless in the mid/late game. That's too much pressure for me.
I've got nothing against Beastmaster, Razor, and Pugna, but they just didn't feel satisfying to play. Guess they're not my style.
Timbersaw annoyed me because I was so damn mana starved for most of the game. I hate that feeling.
Nothing against him, just way too difficult for me to play. Kinda like Invoker. I really like Invoker but I just don't play enough Dota to pull him off.

Rapidly approaching that point.
Play a lobby match and pick Meepo after someone on the other team has picked Meepo.
Eziest game of your life, I guarantee it.
Just get Arcanes into Bloodstone ez
Also that list is really depressing, so many amazing heroes.
volvo hats incoming
I go for classical double shield one salve Axe jungle start. I make straight Ring of Health then I make Arcane Boots to help me spam Battle Hunger, get a few kills. I then convert Boots and the Ring to Bloodstone. After that I either go Blink or Scepter.
Also I get only one point in Hunger and max Counter Helix if I want to farm fast. The new buff to that is really noticeable. Battle Hunger max first is still good if you plan to br active in jungles.
