armlet would be shit after SnY, and would delay SnY too much if you got it first
just forget that armlet is an item, it's nothing but trash
if it gave MS while active I may consider build it sometimes

Armlet is great on lifestrealer,its practically made for him . SnY doesn't give armor which LS needs. both of these items makes him a killing machine.

It's mandatory on Huskar

I feel like MoM is craptons better than Armlet.

#1 Huskar in the world according to Dotabuff:

armlet is the least of huskar's worries if there's an AA on the team

Sure but I don't play Huskar
True, I don't like getting either though.

there are really very few games where skipping Armlet on Huskar makes sense. AA as mentioned is certainly one of those situations. but by and large, it really is just the right item to buy.

rather get helm
I got 55% on huskar, not on a huge sample but you can win just fine by skipping armlet

I got 39 kills on average on him. Whopping 2 games sample size (one of which I omitted Armlet in for whatever reason).
Not getting armlet on him just gimps him for no reason. Free Rosh, a lot of fight sustain with armlet toggling and so forth. Way too good to pass.

Word. Yea, I'm at about 53% after 120 Huskar games. I also get helm quite a bit. I'd have to look through these games to decide whether any of those matches where I did not buy an Armlet would/could have been made easier with one instead. What I do know is that prefer Armlet eventually supported by a Heart unless there's a very specific reason I think building to a Satanic is stronger. I think the later is more situational than the former, but ymmv. Build what you're comfortable with. If you don't feel good armlet toggling, don't buy that shit.

why get an armlet though when I can rush SnY and get a quik AC
Shuggananas

early rosh is so fucking underwhelming even in pro games, it's just nice for the xp boost and 200 free gold

Armlet is cheaper than AC, give you alot of damge early, makes you tanky, give you very good armor and its side effects are negated by your feast.
And with armlet you can farm faster than with just SnY. ALOT faster.

16% MS makes a huge difference on a melee carry like naix
1k gold and usually one free tower after that because contesting an huskar aegis at 10 min isn't something u wanna do.
Of course but hes still shit tier
to be fair, almost every strength carry is in that tier

Well alright, but armlet gives no MS (when Naix is crazy kitable), marginal tankiness and damage when it's not toggled, and I am bad at toggling it. I mean, if your toggles are really good of course it's worth building, but why would I bother when SnY gives me similar early mid game presence without running the risk of killing myself?
Not to mention the fact that AC is a hell of a lot better than Armlet in basically every way, and naix needs to get big items as early as possible on this patch cause he's so garbage. If you're getting armlet, your item build becomes rather awkward I find.
Typically I like midas -> SnY -> AC/Basher
Gentle Rodriguez
Member
Wouldn't you rather rush the SnY than get midas first? I feel like Naix falls off too hard to be delaying your core items.

armlet is great on alchemist. Turn it on when you ulti lose 0 health.

If I've got midgame heroes I skip midas, if I'm crushing lane or need to go a bit later, I go midas because the added GPM is fantastic and naix loves AS. Same with slark, I like to get the midas but typically don't.
Weird tech question...
My internet is working, i go and play a dota match... after the game, i have a loooong ass delay when opening new pages. Its like after dota my internet has problems with the initial handshake with servers...
Anyone ever experienced something like this? BTW, if i pull the plug on the router, it gets fixed.

There's a good chance at an early kill and/or outright forcing the enemy out of lane when playing Naix in pub games. He's also super easy to get last hits with, so you should get the Midas fast. That's why people usually do it. The problem I've noticed with people who do Midas first get super fixated on building it and if you kill them once or contest them for last hits early they become sort of irrelevant for the rest of the game.

You build midas on naix precisely because you want to fall off less
NormalFish
Banned
yeah, pretty much. Also he scales really well with attack speed, so unlike on some heroes, midas isn't just pure GPM increase.
Monochromaticx
Member
I disagree with a midas as well. You want to get the armlet and sny asap, kill everyone and their mothers, end the game by 30 minutes when he is the strongest.
Another thought about LS, a good buff for him would be to have feast work roshan.

Cmon 6.84c is very enjoyable. I actually almost quit at the end of 6.83c because of how awful a patch that was (far and ahead the worst I experienced in Dota 2) but 6.84 is nothing like that.
I'm just annoyed that Storm Spirit is the 2nd most popular pick this week. I really despise playing against competent SS players and I don't feel like playing AM every other game.

I can't wait for 6.85 but it won't be before mid september at least I guess

That really only works if you have a full 5 man that want to end the game really quick. Naix needs too many items to push and team fight effectively. Odd comparison, but you kinda need to think of him like an Alch where you fall off really hard late but need tons of items asap to win games. If you build lots of mid game items you'll just fall in to irrelevance as soon as the enemy carry gets literally any late game item.
lol.
Love the philosophy behind the item, but its garbage.
my complaint isnt with the patch. its just burnout on the game until something new happens. patches are great for getting people playing again.
they all left for cat girls
