after the level 5 dagon you will be able to do (525+800+280) 1.5k burst damage, so im going to add a refersher for the luxuary as it gives the much useful mana regen
well,it's not pure 1/5 burst,,u forgot about dmg reduction?
Can you pick up Perseverance on Nyx after Dagon?
You do not need a Battlefury, Bloodstone, and usually won't need a Linken's.
@Your previous question: No, Nyx does not need lifesteal, he's a caster not an auto-attacker.
What are these luxury items?!? Nyx is a support late game, absolutely not a carry! Luxury items for Nyx should be tanking items, to extend his duration in TF.
For the skills, depending of the lane, I would max Mana burn before Impale, as the CD reduction allows to spam it at lvl 4. Additionally it disables nuker supports such as lich, zeus, CM, etc.
While nyx does get a bit more support-y in late game he still takes out the other teams supports in teamfights which is great since they usually carry the items like a mech which are very beneficial in a teamfight.
Mana burn seems like it might be nice in lane but it cost WAY too much for nyx to spam early game and doesn't become spammable until lvl 4, and maxing it over impale seriously reduces your ganking potential when you hit lvl 6/7 because you don't have the extra damage and stun. You should get 1 lvl in it as it can finish off heroes running away and since a lot of the supports you will be taking out are int based it is pretty effective, but more levels don't decrease the cd enough to be worth it and increase the mana cost too much.
Also, there isn't much point in nyx tanking through a teamfight. If you survive but your team doesn't, you may be able to pick off 1 or 2 heroes running away, but you should manage to do that anyways since nyx's teamfight strategy is generally: Take out squishy support, try to land impale on as many heroes as possible, wait for fight to end because you are basically useless otherwise in a teamfight, then pick off heroes. You don't want to be tanking damage very much.
I also really like Force Staff on Nyx as Force can enable you to land your Impale on an escaping hero from really far away, as well as giving you good positioning/escape in teamfights after your Vendetta + Impale + Carapace + Dagon + Mana Burn combo is done.
