So Im making a guide on Nature's Prophet. I just think its a little redundant to get Hand of Midas on Nature's Prophet. Reason?
  • He can already farm quick and well
  • Buying it makes your farm really greedy
  • Approximately bonus 100 gold doesnt seem much.

I need a discussion.

I never really understood the midas prophet, he already farms quick, he doesnt benefit that much from levels, and it limits his early global gank potential.

Its especially bad on jungle prophet, you already make your team weaker by jungling a farmer, then you screw them more getting a midas? NEVER GET A JUNGLING MADAS PLZ!!!

It's really good, in pubs. Honestly I found myself being the harder carry than any of my teammates after aggressive farming then pushing their towers really hard as they pay attention to my other teammates, rat at its best. However as I went above my mmr it slowly didn't work anymore even jungle prophet felt slightly useless ( getting ganked and all ).

Personally i often go the bulldog build. Treads Mealstrom into blink. The mealstrom gives really nice damage in ganks AS WELL as farming speed. Just a tp sprout into some rightclicks with lightning procs does a lot of work.

I still dont like the null talisman blademail build, it doesnt fit his strenghts at all, and it will probably blow over after some prophets start playing him the proper way.

I have yet to see a single successful Null Talisman/ Blade Mail Furion.

If you want early game presence there are very nice items called Mekansm and dagon, which do that job way better, especially since you can farm them faster than any other hero.

Bonus topic:

I am building a pushing Nature's Prophet. What do you guys think on rushing Blink Dagger after boots upgrade and a big item ( Necronomicon, etc...)

Necrobook instead of mealstrom is good if you have a pushing strat with multiple necros. Throw the zoo at their towers!!!!!

1. u didnt answer the question. Blink or big item first?
2. multiple heroes? so for solo pushes is it better Maelstrom or Necrominicon?

I would go Maelstrom first just due to the fact that Necro doesn't get good till level 3. Maelstrom is just an amazing farm item to have to get you there.
