Optimal DK build?(mid) in General Discussion
ETd

    He feels so weird, as if he’s strong yet weak at the same time. He needs mobility, attack speed, attack damage, and magical survivability, his farm speed feels just decent-average, yet he can somehow easily smash a fight then push. I want to play him more because he’s brain-dead easy in laning, but there his itemization routes are so erratic.
    Looking at the 1st-item routes based on the Dotabuff page’s guides: blink, shadow blade, radiance, S&Y, armlet, bkb...

      Bloodseeker has the same feel.

        If you want brain dead easy wins , just keep playing Necro..

        F Y PE

          BRACER>SOUL RING>BLINK>RUSH ASSAULT CUIRASS>AGHA IF OWNING BKB IF LOSING>END

          swap commends

            Soul ring mandatory almost alwaays just spam dragon breath and other mid laner has no fun times

              @Jack at least with Blood mid, I go blade mail after treads and wand. I kinda have a set 1st item to go for, 2nd item is all I have to worry about.

              @Reha is right, Necro is brain-dead easy, but I want the added pushing ability.

                u generally want items like blink/sb/halberd/bkb/ac/aghs as ur core, and then just whatever luxury dps or utility items or whatever that you need. idk if theres a cookie cutter to follow but theres a pretty solid handful of items u want so its not too hard to figure out what you need

                  6 blademail is the only build
