you should rebuild the guide cuz silencer skill has changed and i usually play puck with dagon on euls, but i think get a hex is a very good choice but use dagon u can kill easier :D then i will get shiva or scepter and linken for some situations and finally dagon and your skill will take much more damgage with ethreal blade :)))
I'm new to Puck, but I really believe that having two Null Talismans is a complete waste of time. I believe that a mid lane Puck should grab one Talisman if that extra damage and mana is absolutely necessary. Honestly, I think it's better to just rush Blink Dagger after getting Bottle.
Also, where is your sheep stick? One of the biggest problems I've had as Puck is the inability to kill a tank. Sheep stick fixes that.
A very nice Puck guide, but some of the information is a bit outdated, like silencer and his new Last Word ability as well as the mana costs of illusion orb.
Still, +1.
What is your opinion on the purchasing of Aghanims?
hey there,
I have to commend something!
u can also easily initiate by blinking in 4-5 enemies with your blink dagger, use waning rift -> dream coil -> orb -> and finally phase shift to avoid damage, then take the orbs place and the teamfight is yours if your team follows up! because of rifting first, your coil can't be disabled and the enemies HAVE TO RUN! or to face your entire team, which can be difficult when they can't use any skills!
that combo can be a bit difficult for beginners but its pretty easy and really effective if you are in practice!
my favorite item build when I go mid is: getting bottle asap, then get power treads (take intelligence mode for damage, strength mode if u need hp) and a magic wand! when u have these items (at least you should have power treads and a bottle) your ganks will be 90% win! with some luck u can get an effective rune for ganks.
after that, get a blink dagger asap (if u still have hp problems get nulls first and then a dagger) and hex after. if u finally know how to play puck u won't need any more items. to get these items within 30min u still need about 300gpm, a viable gpm also for newbs! at least u can sell your power treads and buy boots of travel if u want to. in this phase of the game you shouldn't have any hp problems and u easily can get dagon after to have some extra fun :)
that's it.
p.s.: u should always have a tp with you (unless u have boots of travel), so you can help your mates, spontaneous gank or avoid death by getting into impassable area!
and btw: I start with shift first and orb after when my team placed wards, thats 100% damage avoid and can bring u some more lasthits in the beginning.
This is the first Puck guide I've seen here that's actually worthy of being considered a guide. Very well done, +1.
My only suggestion would be to perhaps explain your item builds a bit more. I feel that new players to any hero should at least understand why they are buying a certain item (as opposed to buying it because it's "in the guide").
DOTAFire is the place to find the perfect build guide to take your game to the next level. Learn how to play a new hero, or fine tune your favorite DotA hero’s build and strategy.

Normally, this is what I do, blink > rift > coil > orb > shift > disjoint
I don't see the need for shift+click.
Still, +1.

An item to consider: Linken's Sphere. Keeps that one guy who isn't in your ult from screwing up your day.
