Um... I'm sorry to say this but there are several things wrong with what you just said. First and foremost, you stated yourself that Huskar is a mana independent hero in your guide, so why would you bother picking up an item like Eye of Skadi that gives you intelligence? Even if you are spamming Inner Vitality, Huskar still has no need whatsoever for a larger mana pool.
Next up. How on earth would an Eye of Skadi provide more EHP than a Heart of Tarrasque on a hero like Huskar? Heart provides you with 1060 health, 1.2 (+ 2% maximum health) regeneration, and 40 attack damage. If a game ends up going late (which it shouldn't be if you're playing Huskar) then this is exactly the item you need in order to increase the maximum survivability and sustainability of this hero in team fights. In comparison, Eye of Skadi yields 725 health, a measly .75 health regeneration, 3.5 armor, 25 attack speed, 575 mana (useless), and a UAM that Huskar has little to no use for. Heart of Tarrasque is undoubtedly the better item on Huskar, and the fact that you go out of your way to tell readers not to purchase it absolutely astounds me.
Finally, Huskar is not a pusher. By design, he is a hero meant for early to mid game ganks and team fights. Eye of Skadi will not increase his pushing potential, and the argument that you made was completely invalid. "Last man standing" situations are extremely rare, and even if Huskar was the last hero left alive an Eye of Skadi would not help him in the slightest. If you want to take towers so desperately on a hero that isn't even meant to be taking towers in the first place, simply build attack speed.
Just to say something to Eye of Skadi aswell, the extra HP and the passive of Heart of Tarrasque dont do **** in fight since if you take damage you loose the extra regeneration.
But an Eye of Skadi in my opinion is better because u can spam Inner Vitality while also slowing the enemy Damage Dealer through a BKK, so you get nice stats, good hp and a Anti Carry passive in one item, thats why its more viable in my opinion than a Heart of Tarrasque also for example a Windranger if jumped by your Life Break , cant escape while Windrun because she is super slowed by a Eye of Skadi , if it turns of you are in jump range again.
The other way around Heart of Tarrasque on you, farmed Windranger Blink, Stun ulti combo u are as dead as with any item.
Gonna add this here in my guide.
and it is also good to counter heroes int based heroes overall if you get a bkb, although I feel like in a good amount settings there are better items unless they have a medusa, in which case I consider it near core. It also works very, very nicely with Anti Mage. I can't fathom why it isn't listed as a possible item to get.
Exactly. The Point is: it's situational. For example: you're facing bounty hunter; drow ranger, bane, juggernaut and viper. Building a bkb would be a waste of Money! Instead, you're facing lion, lina, lich and earthshaker. BKB is really important. But it isn't core on any hero because it doesn't depend on the hero himself but on his enemies
Unscathed. Early game you can armlet toggle nukes and most rightclicks so you wont need it. If facing a lot of rightclickers follow build 2 with inner vitality.
thanks aquiddzy
You don't built BKB only for nukes. It's built to deal with Stuns and other CC. Since, if you get hit buy a stun at low HP, you are probably dead to right clicks. It is something that all cores have to consider in a match.

Do you guys ever play huskar? i can't understand this. you want to buy an HoT ONLY because it gives you 300 hp more than an EoS, but his downsides are a lot more heavy on your play style.
I think we should ask somebody that knows a lot more than us like Sp12 or Peppo_o'Paccio
