I recommend Maelstrom for strength based heroes. Mainly Axe, Sven, Faceless Void, and most melee heroes. It's good at giving a kick when attacking multiple heroes or many creeps. It's even better when pared with attach speed boosting items to cause the shock effect to happen more often. It's not a skill based item but it will help in the long run.
