A huge thanks for your comprehensive effort!
I love playing Huskar and I was looking for the exact thing that your guide provides, ie, case by case analysis.
Casual gamers may be put off by the length, but I appreciate every detail you've provided.
Keep on making more guides with such depth. You're a rarity among the fillers!

Thanks, I appreciate it. Unfortunately, maintaining one guide of this length is difficult when updates are always changing strategies and adding heroes. I will probably make more. But I plan on being more brief, but still hitting key mechanics that will help you win. Goodluck on your future games!

Nice guide to read. I would recommend shortening your guide, however. It is a really big guide that may be useful but can take too long to read and people might leave because of it. For example, instead of implementing every hero, consider just putting in a few that are very important to whether it's an enemy or ally. Also, for your talent section, put a reasoning of why you chose one skill over another since other people have opinions and they may not understand your reasoning.

I really appreciate the feedback. I also think that it is too much to read for it to be useful. I am planning on shortening the hero section to a list of items to use and short strategies. I am also working on a more detailed talent section since with besides the level 10 talent, the rest are depending on the game and your build.

Why +500 cast range? I don't get it +100 attack range is much more viable.

Unlike most ranged heroes is an in your face fighter like melees. I would recommend getting the attack range when you are playing against heroes that want you close such as and . Otherwise the extra 500 range on allows you to initiate from farther preventing escape. lacks one thing more than anything else and that is mobility. Also Dotabuff shows a slight increased winrate with it https://www.dotabuff.com/heroes/huskar/builds. Hope that answers your question!

I took a look at your explanation on your guide of why to get the attack range over the range. They are both good skills. And getting the range can have some draw backs. The animation is not very fast, so an enemy can blink you into a trap or be prepared to use their . I believe the skill build on this is situational, but I prefer the extra cast range since applies a slow that will allow the rest of my attacks to hit. Good build btw. I like it.

I respect your opinion. But provides the same things that +500 life break talent provides and even more. But getting that talent depends on your play style as well, If you don't like to build and prefer melee range fights more than ranged ones you can pick +500 cast range.
I personally like the combination of and +100 attack range talent, It makes you very hard to kite and allows you to stack a lot of s even with out using the risky (slows from HH are amazing for it)

Yeah, it needs quite a bit updating, perhaps I will do it soon when I get accustomed to patch 7.00. I am going to take a look at yours now.

Dragon Lance is a great item with its low price, extra range and great stats, I have been thinking about adding it in my guide next time I update it. It is however not an item that will benefit you when you are six slotted. I am trying to think of strategies where it would be the most useful such as having a fv on your team.

First of all, hats down! I've been following this guide for few weeks now, and I'm slamming crazy wins almost non-stop.
Today, was the first time I meet skywrath mage as huskar. And boy was he a pesky thing. You gave him a 5 rating, and said he's easy. Well, he's super easy in 1vs1 fights, but he's a nightmare in a team battle. He waits till everyone is bashing everyone, then silences me and immediately ults me. His ult is impossible to tank, and I can't lifebreak out of it since I'm silenced.
I know you're a BKB hater, but it seemed to be the only way out of his ults :/ Maybe keep a force staff on me?

I am glad you are having success. I updated the section because it was pretty slim. He can be a problem if he is able to kite you. I included using to dispel and reflect his spells. You can always go BKB if necessary, I am a BKB hater on because his Magic resistance used to be so high that is was almost completely irrelevant. They lowered the magic resistance but increased his armor and attack speed.

I am glad I could help you. I was a passive reader on DotaFire for a long time and many of these guides helped me with my all Hero challenges. It was my time to give back to the community. It really makes me happy knowing that its being useful. Thank you for the +1

I am actually not a great player. To be honest, all the carries I am good with are ones that I can play without a BKB, ( Heroes such as Troll and where BKB is mandatory I become just an average unremarkable player. I don't feel like I can give adequate advice on heroes, I have yet to master.

@debris

You are right about vlads, I forgot it gave that much armor. I suppose it actually wouldn't be a bad build to try. You are trading tankiness for damage output, but I suppose it could work in some situations. Guadian Greaves are the best boots for Huskar, but I have never bought them since they are so expensive.

Yes that build is pretty crazy, but you reminded me of it when you mentioned Veil.

I personally have not tried a support Huskar, I think there are better ones out there, but I think what you are trying to do is take a support/tank/gank role, Similar to a pudge, which given the right team you are up against could work. I would like to see one of your games sometime just to see how manage yourself.
