Vladmir's Offering is, in my opinion, what I'd call a tier 2 support item: something that's not an obvious pick up for a support but nevertheless something your 4 or 3 position should be getting if they have the cash, and the situation calls for it. Your 1 position shouldn't spend money on it unless it benefits him specifically in some obvious way: like Phantom Lancer giving all his illusions additional damage.


Actually Vlads does nothing on PL. Literally nothing. Illusions don't benefit from auras in any way.

Vladmir's Offering is exactly the same as Helm of the Dominator except that it gives an aura to your team which gives you additional teamfighting and pushing power, and Vlads also gives mana regen while helm doesn't.

The only downside of Vlads over helm is that you can't use the creep to stack ancients and that it doesn't build into Satanic.

So, on pushing-oriented semi-carries like Viper / Drow Ranger, or even on Troll Warlord, Vlads is a perfect choice over traditional lifesteal.

Why not? Saying not to stack ancients is way too black and white.
You arent going to pick up a vlads instead of a helm on a helm hero like gyro anyways.
