Slardar (Defence is the Best offensive)

Leveling bash over sprint is entirely dependent on when you get boots and how many slows your lane has.

Two levels of Sprint can outrun most heroes early on, so IMO do not get Bash until 8 or 10 depending on the situation. The bash is fairly useless early except in specific lanes when you are harassing with attacks often (such as against two melee heroes). A lucky proc is much less reliable than the boost when chasing which can let you get in an extra attack and/or stun as well as improve body block capability.

not from my experience :P

Not exactly a guide...

In my opinion, Crush>Sprint>Bash. Crush gives you some burst and a long *** stun, which can really get you more kills early game. One level of sprint is all you need early on, it still makes a for a strong speed boost with only one point.

sprint is Slardar's most important skill and should be maxed out by lvl7 imo, I usually go with 2 lvls of Slithereen Crush and and leave it at that till i get my sprint maxed out.

sprint allows Slardar to give some really good ganks earlygame and lvl2 Slithereen Crush is quite decent, seen plenty of useless Slardars early-mid game without sprint focusing instead on bash and Slithereen Crush.

Mobility ppl, dota needs it.

Sprint is stronger than bash as your second skill to max if you grab a pretty early bkb and dont get early attack speed, such as in this build.

The difference is less than 1000g so it shouldn't be hard to farm. Also if u can farm 1600 for hammer u can farm 500 more for hyperstone and it will help a lot more still using only one item slot

because desolator is low price item and its works little nice then ac in mid game.and sorry for spelling mistakes.i written this faster that the cause.:)

Please publish these guides when they're actually ready. This is rather a build than a guide to Slardar. Try to fix that language, u even spell item names wrong And there are flaws in your build too. U don't need 3 armor reduction items espec on slardar, who doesnt actually need anything else than his ulti. Why would u take desolator first before ac? Bash ain't gonna proc itself.
