Insanely Useful Build, This Is Most Possibly The Best Way To Build Weaver

Its a great item if you plan to max swarm early and go deso, melts through str and squishies so quickly. Its already -13 and however much swarm reduces. Combine that with something like an alch, dazzle,naga etc for a great anti armor lineup. I dont find PMS good due to him being ranged and not getting much out of it.

I think I'll try building both Medallion and and see if it'll work out. I just like the utility of Medallion too much to give it up.

I forget the team that did it, but there was a weaver who went up against an extremely tanky Na'Vi lineup, and got medallion to allow them to actually deal some physical damage to , , and , who would have otherwise ignored weaver. Also helped them pick up an early roshan.

It was ICCup

Played a few games with medallion. Sorry but I have to stand by my earlier stance, I really don't like it. I did infinitely worse with medallion than I did with Poor Man's.

I have to advocate PMS over Medallion every time.

I think you should also mention last-hitting with Germinate Attack in the laning phase.

I'm going to re-evaluate Medallion and try a few games of it but I've altered the build to include Medallion as an alternative to Poor Man's.

It might just be a personal playstyle choice because I've just always had better games with Poor Man's over Medallion but I'm still open to it and I'll tell you how it goes after a few games with it.

And ya, I almost always prefer Desolator to have more game impact but I tend to find when I get in my higher MMing range that I'm just getting burst down and shutdown too much by really good enemy players and enemy team coordination so I go for Linken's and play more of a farm game.

technically doesn't reduce your armor, as it returns your armor to its original value before medallion, so it's more of an offensive tool.

Is your skill build supposed to be incomplete?

Other than that, I really like the detail.

Fixed, fixed and fixed. I clarified what I meant by the lowered armor in the medallion section.

Thanks.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Storm Bolt shouldn't be dodgeable, it should hit invisible units, you shouldn't be able to dodge it.

EDIT: NVM, it's a bug, you should say it's a bug in the guide. And I believe Alch's stun does hit weaver (it shouldn't).

Note about it being a bug added. I just wrote that out of the experience, I wasn't sure about the exact correct mechanics.
