a simple trick for editing your guides so they loo nice is to copy and paste all the words into microsoft word and then replace the old words with the correct ones. also pretty good guide

Does this still work with 6.79? I haven't tried it myself just yet, but i thought the flying dragons would have an influence on the ability of heroes to ancient farm.

I'm also wondering about the MoM.

Another small point: why are you taking snake that late?

You also only list 1 point in stone gaze, i assume you take it at 6 and 11 as well


well it's good people look with a certain critism to my guide, i really appreciate that.
1. as far as i found out is that dragons will follow the path of walking just like the golems and the dinosaurs(i think the name was thunderhides).

2. no midas? a midas won't work on the acient camps. mostly early and a part from the mid-game you'll be farming at the acients and won't see a lot of creeps or non-acient neutrals.

3. MoM, i just really like the MoM. i have to ask if you tried it? because it might help you with understanding. i'll try to explain. the attack speed you earn from the MoM is a huge advantage for you (and your illusions). although you might take extra damage, you're mana shield should compensate the damage taken. all i can say is for you to try it, in my experience it works great and people always are doubting at the beginning when they think of it.

4. i'll edit that, i thought i had the right order

5. getting the mystic snake that late, the mystic snake won't work on the acients. that's why lvling mystic snake late is a better option or like you suggest just skipp the snake. i think that's more player preferences.

Does this still work with 6.79? I haven't tried it myself just yet, but i thought the flying dragons would have an influence on the ability of heroes to ancient farm. If it's still viable, at least make a small note about this, since i've seen a lot of people online asking about the dragon change.

Secondly: why no midas? Dusa needs a LOT of farm to come online, especially without early game snake, since you're jungling instead of laning. The midas will help you get to that level of farm faster, and the early gloves actually help quite a bit with jungle farming.
I'm also wondering about the MoM. You say that you're building her tanky through mana shield, which is how she should be played, but MoM seems to not work that well with that. If you want lifesteal, HotD -> Satanic would be better. Also, the reason people build linkens, skadi etc. on dusa isn't just for the regen, it's that she uses raw stats better than pretty much anyone else in the game (morphling being second), due to her mana pool also making her more tanky. Long story short, i feel you need to better defend what justifies the +30% damage taken from MoM.

Another small point: why are you taking snake that late? In lane, snake does a LOT for dusa, and should be maxed at 7. But when jungling, i think a lot of people actually skip the skill entirely, favoring more stats. You don't need the creep clearing since you're already lvling splitshot, And by lvl 16 the harass damage already starts to decrease quite significantly.

You also only list 1 point in stone gaze, i assume you take it at 6 and 11 as well
