only with in kill range HP, diffusal blade purge his stacks berserk blood?
ah passive's can't be purged.
Odd, I did the math when the patch came out, and showed he needed to still be really low for it to kill him. Let me do maths, your stuff is likely correct.
No clue, would need to test. I doubt it, because Huskar's passive would just reapply it immediately.
Ugh, Antimage goes Vanguard and manages to barely get his Battlefury by 35 minutes
I tell him that vanguard is shit and he should have went Battlefury much earlier and skipped vanguard.
Answer: I know what i'm doing
really dude? Then we have an OCD QoP who pops her ulti as soon as she sees an enemy without even thinking how to place it. I think out of all her ults, maybe one hit an enemy.
I play the new huskar, but fail miserably. I needed lifesteal because I was bursted down so easily and couldn't get any farm afterwards.

AM was probably building from the default item build list from valve. They really need to change it or build a item guild that flow charts item builds based on expected GPM min max expectations and timing.
"I know what I'm doing -- I'm following Valve's official guide!" Dude on some Dean Venture shit.
HotD + Armlet Huskar is best Huskar.
nono it was because the harassment was so severe, that a poor mans shield was not enough.
That's what he told me
Jesus, how can these guys have 350 wins is beyond me.

winning is easy, it's a 50/50 chance.
Is a Crystal Maiden aura build viable? With the increased mana regen post patch, I was wondering if you could max aura with a Ring of Basilius and spam Frostbite in lane. I've never seen anyone take aura at 1, 3 and 5. Just curious because it negatively impacts your ability to get first blood, but I think the spamming potential after level 3 is pretty high.

you can gamble and get a bottle first........
8 clarity, 1 gauntlet of strength, 1 gg branch very viable with this build.
In HoN I used to sometimes get 1 in nova 1 in frost bite and 3 in aura (1-2-3-3-3) on the Crystal-Maiden-equivalent hero. Not really for spamming but to help out a mana hungry team early game. The slow on nova is still pretty decent even at level 1 (3.5 sec). Haven't played CM much in dota though.
Almost every meele carry has vanguard in their default build

Raised Viper to be a fearsome and vicious monster. Got my Aghanim's. Got my ult off in every single teamfight (even if I was initiated on first and died). Viper cleans house.

How about Jugg as a counter to Huskar? Can spin away from his ulti and omni slash is physical damage..

If you're spinning he can just right click you down for free.

It introduced the phrase "Lock and Lord" to my vocabulary. Can't beat that.

While we're on the subject of Viper, kids, don't get Vanguard. It's even worse on him than it is on most melee carries.
Get a Poor Man's or a Mek. Mek's fucking awesome on him.

Just like old times.
I paused Thumbs and immediately listened to DT as soon as you guys mentioned it on the cast. I love the dynamic between the normal team when it comes to Dota, so I'm happy you guys started DT so I can get more of that.
The first ep was fun. I've been playing Dota a lot longer than you guys and when you mentioned how you don't use Blink on Tinker because its daunting at the moment I got a jolt of nostalgia from when I had those kinds of doubts myself.
My immediate apprehension is I wonder how much you'll have to talk about from your perspective without going into strategies and anecdotes? You gave the example of the QOP TOP/POTM BOTTOM reader mail as the kind of banter you want to have. I wonder if there's really enough of that kind of talk to actually have a weekly podcast. Would be fantastic if the material is there though.
What I would hope doesn't happen is talk about team roster changes, drama between players, etc. I wouldn't expect you or Sean to get into that stuff anyway, but it's some of the most mind-numbing garbage to hear people in the community talk about beef between pro teammates, who is climbing up the scene and who is falling, etc.
Also since I'm replying here I'll just say that your stories about Neptune's Pride are fucking amazing and make me genuinely afraid to play that game as I don't want to know what kind of vicious, ruthless streak I've got buried inside me. But by all means keep it up
I keep seeing all these Mek over Vanguard recommendations on heroes, but every time I wonder if that's the way to go when most teams likely have a support that will probably buy it. I suppose you could argue multiple Meks being okay in the same way multiple Drums are, but I can't help but wonder if it's really as redundant as two ACs or two Pipes.

It's the new Draft. Ban - Ban - Ban - Ban - Pick - Pick - Pick - Pick - Ban - Ban - Ban - Ban - Pick - Pick - Pick - Pick - Ban - Ban - Pick - Pick
You also have to consider the timing and how effective a mek is going to be. Since a carry/semi carry like OD or viper will be getting priority on farm, they are able to get the mek up and running around the 7-10 minute mark where its effectiveness is much greater. So great even that you can turn fights completely around with it because it heals low health supports for at least a quarter of their health.
It also makes the person who picks it up pretty much unkillable if they get it that early.
looks like someone missed the last page
Nope, I saw it. They are welcome to be wrong though. More Light Strike Arrays for me.

The trend started the instant the words 'More gold' was posted in the tooltip.
Treads are still a must, same for Urn. You still want Strength for his Heal to be potent. Crits and armor for later game, really depends on what you want more first survivability or damage.
I like treads --> HH --> heart ---> satanic. armlet is cool too
