Since Hades4U closed my Dagon Thread I guess I will now have to make individual threads to address how the dagon should be used on certain heroes.

Has anyone ever tried using Dagon on Earthshaker?

If so, does the extra manapool from dagon really help him?

Also after Earthshaker has Blink Dagger and ulties does using a dagon to pick off the remaining heroes seem reasonable.

Sheesh, thanks a lot. Hades is a jealous man so he will close all my great discussions.

The only guy who should buy a Dagon is Flying Courier.
"When game is going full ******, you can only go with it. If you start going against it, if you start going half ******, you´re ****ing done for. When Aloha decides to go middle rubick you let him, and you start buying orb of venom on invoker. That's how dota works" -n0tail

I find both Refresher Orb and Aghanim's Scepter better pickups than Dagon for damage output and mana pool.

I dont want to go deep into depth, but it's certainly not worth purchasing a Dagon as it is quite expensive to make. It's better to make other items such as a Blink Dagger asap as it only costs 75 mana to cast and practically instantly gives Earthshaker the opportunity to land his Echo Slam on all surrounding heroes. After he casts all of his spells, he would more or less be depleted or may have enough mana a little way down the road for a Fissure and Enchant Totem. I prefer the ability to stun to support my carries rather than carry myself if i were to play Earthshaker

You know what else works really well on an Earthshaker, Pu12e?

Tranquil Boots *and* Phase Boots

Think what all that movement speed would do to help him land those Dagon hits!




edit: Am I doing this right?

Crit-shaker is more fun.
