Skeleton King vampire build

Note: obviously this is a YOLO build, and would probably only work in low level match.

So i randomed SK yesterday and i knew that his aura will push the lane if taken earlier. Standard build, stun stats crit first before aura, Armlet PT for item. Bam, done. But then i wonder if SK can be used not as carry role, but as pusher role (more emphasis to support) utilizing his aura + Vladmir's Offering for crazy push. (And Helm of the Dominator for himself extend to Satanic for even crazier lifesteal)

To level aura early, either he needs to push fast (with a pusher lanemate, Broodmother or Nature's Prophet, probably in hard lane) or jungle so he won't disturb his lanemate. Max aura first then crit, taking stun at 1 only. Get Tranquil into Vladmir, then Dominator into Satanic. This gives 46% lifesteal aura and 61% (71% with Satanic) lifesteal on SK. He should tank tower while killing creeps to regen his HP.

As a bonus, SK can solo Roshan at level 7 with max aura + vlad.

Probably fun to try when in pub games with 5 melee carry, but definitely not strong enough for higher brackets. (or is it?)

Thoughts?

The way I see it, you might as well go full YOLO at that point, and get Mask of Madness. Your lifesteal is already stupid with vlads, and SK could use the attack speed IMO.

I really want to try this out.

Hmmm....
Ursa, SK, Naga, Abbadon and troll as a lineup sounds fun actually.

Might have to give it a try. So much life steal.

With those items he will have no life

One Dagon and he will be dead.

Yup, imagine if you had a Shadow Blade and a Dagon with this build. He would then, and only then, be unstoppable. PSYCHE. STOP PU12E FOR THE GOOD OF US ALL!

I would say, every problem can be fixed. If you get Vladmir's Offering and Satanic, you still got room for other items. Like Heart of Tarrasque(HP to survive burst), Assault Cuirass(AS and armor reduction) and Black King Bar(CC-Imunity). Especially Black King Bar would be very important here.

In this case, I would also get Phase Boots because the bonus MS is needed.

Since the new 6.79 makes his lifesteal work on ranged heroes as well, this would be a pretty OP push or fight.

My standard SK build is

1 point in stun, 1 point in lifesteal, max crit, than max stun.
Buy an armlet
buy a mask of madness
Roflstomp
finish of with a heart or bkb


edit: and power threads ofcourse

Finally!! I found someone who could understand my point of using SK for different role.I tried this one in solo lane and destroy two tower straight.(luckily 3 were dead while the other were busy on the other lane).Almost the same built up but without satanic instead 2 stout shield.From tanker to pusher a deceptive game.
