NOOBCAKE's Guide to Troll Warlord

very nice build, but you get +1 from me just for the haiku. its been a long time since i read any good dota haiku!

lol this happened today...had to run for a bit to get mana up then turned around and destroyed the bh and slark chasing me...was called a hacker:)

When you say troll does not have a escape that is ******** he has a escape, his escape killing the moron that dared to chase you down

Also I think an early basilius instead of aquila is better; it costs a lot less, gives you much needed mana regen, you can buy ring of protection at start and get sage's mask from side shop and while active makes pushing that much better!

Also when your int gets to 33 or more, can be disassembled to sage's (gives more regen) and ring of protection for possible vlads.

Overala, A FREAKING GODLY GUIDE! +OVER9000!

Did you know that orb of venom also stacks with lifesteal on both melee and ranged? :D

Treads gives IAS, yes, but the 170 HP or MP can really make a difference I feel, whether it's surviving or delivering the final nuke. Like I said it's a matter of preference - for my playstyle, I need all the hp I can get. Also, Bracer only turns into Drums which would be nice to have if playing more ganking rather than carrying role. Item slots are valuable land I've found especially on Troll - it sucks cos I'm building Butterfly and am forced to decide "do I want evasion or agi boost"

I thought I mentioned doing rosh? first paragraph in "Gameplay - Mid Game"? I believe Troll can roshan at level 7/8, but I haven't tried myself. Usually, me and my team push a T2, go for rosh, then push T3.

I like the color and info +1

Two thing I noticed was your boots and lack of rosh. From personal games (AKA the other team killing me with it) you can take Roshan really early. Like under 20 min.

The other thing is your boots. Treads give attack speed and phase give raw damage. Well troll has that attack speed covered so I would think phase would be better. If you wanted some health you could pick up something like a bracer.

agreed, phase will give you more speed. I just prefer the HP, and I really feel that he needs every bit he can get. Why do you not like magic wand? It's an amazing burst heal! :O Agreed on MKB! It's freaking awesome. But I would only get it after butterfly, cos more survivability. Slows included - buying SnY or Skadi means BKB or BFly or Satanic delayed, which I don't particularly like. Pretty much I see and play troll late game as a Huskar. BKB, Charge in, spam spells, and pop satanic for massive lifesteal. Can't do that if you're squishy! Thanks for the comment though :)

By the way I like your build (Even better than mine). I'm just not as keen on your item choices. Keep in mind these opinions are possibly biased and speculative.

• Phase Boots really help chasing and escaping (for example: especially when most people chose the slower Treads.)
• I (personally) dislike magic wand.
• Monkey King Bar gives a massive damage boost and is fricken awesome.
• And finally some kind of Slow (Sange & Yasha or Eye of Skaldi) is far from situational.

LOL oops! thanks for that!

You can't put 5 ranked into Fervor. Put that level 15 Rank into stats instead.

Did not know that Skadi stacked on melee! Will put that in now. Thanks for that and the tip about colour
