The post is Storm Spirit Item Build for RTS Game "DotA"
Item Build
Start
A solid start and gives you well needed stats. If your team already has a chicken then you can switch out the chicken and a branch for two Mantles of Intelligence. The branches will later be used to make a Magic Wand. Having a chicken is crucial since this guide is focused on having Storm on middle lane and getting an early Bottle for rune dominance.
Core
Bottle
You will need Bottle if you are going middle lane, which you should. Rune dominance is the key to win the middle lane duel.
Magic Wand
This is one of the best items in DotA and should never be overlooked.
Power Treads
In my opinion, Power Treads is too good of an item to be passed early. It makes it so much easier to gank and getting kills early on. Also, it provides you with well needed stats. Alternate between Strength and Intelligence Power Treads depending on your needs.
Linken's Sphere
I prefer Linken's over Bloodstone. Enemies will aim disables on you because you can jump around like a kid and therefore Linken's will be a the best choice. Your most used combo: Ball Lightning->Hit->Vortex->Hit-Remnant will not always kill your enemies and they will most likely cast a stun on you after your combo, making you unable to finish them off or wasting too much mana chasing them. Linken's Sphere solves this problem. The spellblock is very good.
Bloodstone
Bloodstone is a bit outdated. It may provide good mana regeneration if you can get a lot of charges but due to the nerf; you die once and you lose one third of your charges. Get this if you feel that you will dominate the game and will not die a lot. Excellent item instead of Linken's Sphere if their team got no disables. This item works well if your team is gank oriented. Many players prefer Bloodstone before Linken's and it is by no means a bad replacement.
To all those who say: "You should not die as Storm":
Then why do you not go Divine Rapier after your Bloodstone? Your argument is bad and should not be used.
I would like to add that going Bloodstone or Linken's Sphere is very playstyle dependant. You should try both items and use the one that suits you.
Luxury
Orchid of Malevolence
One of my favorite items on Storm. It gives you amazing mana regeneration and a very nice silence to top it off. Remember that Orchid of Malevolence amplifies the damage you deal on the silenced target by 20%. That extra damage is dealt at the end of the silence. Orchid of Malevolence also comes with an easy build up. I prefer to buy this over Guinsoo after my core but this is situational and depends on personal preference and sometimes a Guinsoo will be better.
Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse
The disable is excellent to have, no arguing with that. However, I usually do not buy it before Orchid. Think about it. How much damage do you actually do by hitting on a chicken after your main spells are used? Your attack speed will be slightly low due to having no Orchid and I do not like going this before Orchid. It is good in team fights and should be considered if team needs a disable. I am not saying Guinsoo is a bad item, absolutely not. In competitive games, Guinsoo is probably better than Orchid.
Situational
Black King Bar
If you are getting raped by disables and your team does not know how to engage fights, then this might be considered. I hardly ever buy it but it is still a viable item. This item is often bought after Treads, Wand, Bottle in competitive games because the opposing team will pick many disablers to counter you.
