What about Crystal Maiden?

Edit has found her after three times reading. Nice Guide.

Sorry, the formatting is indeed not that good. Looks like the list tag doesn't really do anything.

Nice guide.

I think you must mention disassembling and switching between Arcane Boots and Tranquil Boots, use the active ability of one of them, then switch to the other one for its active ability. It's a very useful thing to do until you get some items to solve one of these items, so you can sell the components of the other boots, or combine these components to make other items.
I have used this method many times, and I can guarantee you it's VERY USEFUL!

Thanks! I play supports and offlaners almost exclusively and I enjoy writing and am a huge dota nerd, but it may be a week or two before I'll publish it. Thanks for the feedback!

Love the guide, I play supports often but I enjoy offlaners the most so I can't wait for the offlaner guide!

He doesn't have a ton of early game kill potential, at least no more so than the other defensive carries, and he relies on safe farm more than early kills.

My case for Defensive v Offensive carries was if they can contribute heavily to an early gank, how much farm they need before they can be effective, and how much babysitting and freefarm can help them as opposed to ganks coming from their support.

I considered that but never really mentioned it. I'll put a note in. Thanks!

Nice guide.

Although Slark can carry, I consider him a much better ganker.
