Thanks Hades4u. I completely forgot about Skull Basher. It's actually one of the higher rated items for win% on him on dotabuff at 60.16% but it slipped my mind.

I think you could add Skull Basher, it's an item that fits him very well.

+1.

i always thought that the passive health regen and movespeed were a bug, but its intentional for him to get colossal regen and movespeed? jeez. good guide btw +1

67139877 28/0/14 but a couple members of the other team were clearly new or unskilled
66772738 19/6/17 the other team was okay, you can see the fall off for slark later in the game too
66761453 32/2/11 don't remember the game but I think the skeleton king fed me?

I have quite a few games with him. In some of the games that I did really well it was the other team sucking, some of the time it was just good play on my part.

I'll go through my games a little more and post some of them here. Still working on some stuff like not accidentally clicking on the minimap when trying to run away as radiant.

edit: for some reason the links don't work right... not sure if you can link outside of this site? trying to figure it out now, can look at them on dotabuff. Also my steam ID is xenogearsfn so can probably check for some that way on dotabuff.

I would like to see those 20+ kills, 5 deaths and a bunch of assists in a replay. Mind giving a few match IDs? :D

Besides that, I agree with wild that there could be a little more color and general stuff going into your guide. The skill build is good, the item choices are good although I would suggest an armlet since it gives you a nice burst of hp and other useful stats. You can basically keep it on all the time because of your ultimate.

Nice job. +1

Thank you. As far as the killstealing goes, I've just been complained at towards the end of games when I'm fed really well and I kill people with pounce and auto-attacks. Generally if the game is going that well I don't even get to dark pact my pounce target because they die too quickly

I am going to look into how to format the guide a little better and add some pictures. I will probably add some color and whatnot.

Nicely done Xenogenesis! My tip in you next guide would be to improve on you formatting (bold text, color, pictures) to improve the presentation.

I like this item build very much. Sange and Yasha is my favorite item on slark, and I find it a lot more helpful than diffusal blade.

Also you say Slark can be a killstealer late game? I beg to differ. His dark pact takes time to charge up, and that being his only real nuke. Otherwise, he just right-clicks late game after his combo.

You explain everything very well, and that is good enough.

You sir, have just earned a +1 :)
