McStappy's Guide to Zeus

He says that Ghost Scepter and Eul's cost cheaper than Orchid, and they essentially do the same thing. orchid isn't worth the cost for Zeus.

Sorry, but you did not make sense.

All of the things you get Orchid for can be had with Ghost Scepter, at a fraction of the cost. Hell, you could get Ghost Scepter and Eul's and have your cake and eat it too. I just don't think Orchid is worth the investment on a hero like Zeus. I also don't hate the idea of Bloodstone, but if you're going to build a Soul Booster why not just go straight for Refresher?

Well, I do go veil first but the orchid really helps a ton especially to stop initiators or people from escaping, and you nuke everything while the enemy is silenced from the orchid so they take the extra damage.

I don't really agree with the orchid. I see orchid as more of an item for auto attackers who can benefit from the as AND the amp damage like Clinkz and BH or SS. It would be a better idea to just not get it and go right for the veil of discord on a hero like Zeus.

No, it would not really, I wouldn't think force stick nor bstone items would be a good idea for this build if you're trying it.

Dagon is still meh

Situational, maybe?

Well, mainly because if you look at it, bloodstone just costs too much and there are better stuff you can buy with the gold, I seem to run out of mana problems with Arcane Boots + orchid + veil, so yeah.

The game is usually over once I finish veil -> orchid -> refresher so yeah

Force stick is just too overrated, personally I don't like it as I prefer getting a veil instead cause why run when you can cook?

Dagon is NOT a bad choice but there's better items

^ I agree.

Also, your should cut down on your starting build for a an early Bottle. Also, if you go support Zeus you should buy wards and courier instead.

Why is Bloodstone in the "not to get" section? I like the rest of the guide, but in my opinion, Bloodstone suits Zeus well.
