Not really. I'd probably go for his Q first. Depends on the line ups however.

I almost never max poison touch first unless my team is completely lacking in a stun and slow. I like maxing shadow grave first then shadow wave. Having a 1000 range to keep someone alive for 5 seconds is great because that means you can stay out of the killzone while keeping your competent teammates fighting.

I put one poin in poison, then max heal and then grave. The cooldown reduction in grave is nice, but it won't beat maxing heal early game to me.
Depending on the lane composition you put Dazzle in, your initial 3 skills vary in order. There is no reason not to have 1 point in each by level 3. I don't find myself burning unsustainable amounts of mana by having all 3 in early game.
I usually got 1 poison, 1 heal, 1 shallow grave, and then from there I typically put more points into heal.

If all your team builds blademail, all should activate it and stand on the march.

Play him as support/initiator, he is decent that way.He was legit bad. I had a lot of my items before he even had his BKB so sad

It fills me with rage when someone on my team gets rapier. Even worse, it drops from kunkka and a SLARK gets it? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
I was on the bad end of this deal the other night where our medusa literally only had BOOTS and YASHA. Then went straight for divine rapier. We were flat out destroying them and then boom. WE LOSE

So I get it. You know you have a big lead. You want to be stylish. But...if you don't have a single tank/sustain item AND IF you don't have the aegis AND IF you are not Skeleton King...you have no fucking business buying a Divine Rapier.
As soon as I saw the rapier on kunkka, I said "We're getting that rapier and we're winning this game". Died to him as we lost our 2nd rax but he decided to stick around with half health. So I buyback, abyssal, acquire rapier, kill many men, and finally the throne falls. Longest 6 minutes minutes ever.
It was pretty funny, they were also a five stack. I wish I had heard their conversation. When we got rapier they had wiped two sets of racks and I think a tier 4. We had like three towers of theirs down total. It was a fun game!

Entire sets in the drop system? You sure it wasn't just a reward from offerings?

I FUCKING LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE
YALL DONT KNOW THE STRUGGLE
we were getting shat on the entire early and midgame and then towards the end the radiant started falling apart or something. i dont even know
booty patrol's arrows sealed the fates of so many people that were out of position and i was struggling to keep everyone alive and for some reason raptor never got doomed. id put aphotic shield on riki and on TA when her own shield ran out and the two of them (with mirana) just melted everyone.
dota is such a good game. the peak of gaming.

Everyone was on their alt so I don't have easy access. I need to enable dotabuff on brauntosaurus.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Drops that complete sets.
Anyway, I kind of doubt they would waste resources on checking your armory for something like that.

what the fuck is with people in 50+ games and still having their midas
also good stuff, 1 hour matches that stall are exhausting as hell.
Gotta get that gold brah
U serious? Thats terrible. The drop pool is so tiny at the moment im surprised someone hasnt whined on Reddit about it yet
In the past week ive had 7 Abbadon items drop
Valve pls
yeah i left early and it was worth it. by that point, i was toasty and just relaxing to music while the line meandered along

I've not played DOTA2 before and just turned it on to try.. is it down!? It says about the website being down when I try to join a game?
Sometimes, if I run out of slots, I'll even put the midas in the stash or on the courier, and bring it to myself whenever it's off-cooldown.

WOW i can't believe we came back from this match, i was mid invoker vs an earth spirit and i'm sorry to say i lost mid, ES can harass extremely well so it's not a suprise he solo kill me mid. We were on the back foot for most of the game and i was underleveled but a funny thing happened after 30 min we started to come back thanks to my disarm and meteor combo which worked amazingly vs meepo and AM, DK was basically bait. Anyway i still have much learn, in some fights i just stood there thinking what spell should i use next.

No no I mean drops completes unfinished sets. ie you have 5 parts of a set, drop = 6th piece

You would sell your midas and not courier it? Filthy peasant! Take a knee!

Hmm.. it seemed to say it was. My computer is a bit funny today so I'll update and see what happens.
fwiw, I've opened my present and got the bracers of the cat drow set (I have the cat ears)

hawd hav mercy.
let's go through the checklist of comedy just on the score screen:
1.)
2.) Ags
3.) 0 BKB's against a riki and a Disraptor
4.) 0 Sheepsticks (on either team)
5.) 0 push items (mek, pipe, urn)
6.) Dire double-desolator
7.) Refresher ES? When nobody has built disable items?
8.) Riki with 128cs in an hour? Disruptor has almost that much cs. And only 1 agi item??
*wipes sweat*
Fam, you have more patience than I have. And that
I know.
I guess SB makes it way easier to setup stuns than blink. Phase though? Deso is kinda questionable but I guess it helps the team and SB burst...
He is backwut

Fam, you have more patience than I have. And thatappears to have been your secret 6th man.
i was dragging Riki and TA to hell and back in team chat for a huge chunk of the game for shitty positioning, overstaying their welcome in fights, and running away from my shields and healing
i told TA to build crit after Booty Patrol got deso and............ she bought deso anyway. i just held my breath because i had already been mean enough and we were finally gaining momentum
