Traxex Item Build DotA

The post is Traxex Item Build for RTS Game "DotA"

Standard




Justification: Power Treads is the main item for Drow Ranger over all the Boots (more on this later). The biggest reason is the additional STR and the attack speed early on. She can also switch to AGI when farming, and if lacking a little mana, to INT to cast that vital Silence. No other Boots would provide this benefits in one go. As usual, other Boots are discussed in the "Which Boots?" tab. Don't keep it on AGI all the time.

Lothar's Edge is your main escape mechanism and ganking mechanism. Yes, it is easily countered by True Sight, which I assume organized games would have. However, you have no innate escape mechanisms in you and there are no other items that would give what she wants in one buying: additional damage and escape mechanism. Yes, the raw damage from this item is not manipulated by Trueshot Aura, but the item still holds as one of her core items.

Wraith Bands gives Drow Ranger an early boost on AGI and damage. The most you should get in one game is two. Never go beyond that amount. Why? It would delay your build, and you would not have enough space in your inventory for a life-saving Scroll of Town Portal.

Magic Wand, although sometimes it would delay, should be your survival item throughout the game. You even build it first (see Build Progression). While you'll be unlikely to be participating in many team clashes, you're not likely to use the charges either because of your low manacost spells (12 for Frost Arrows; 90 for Silence). The idea is to store the charges until you reach the maximum and keep them with you in the event that you're ganked to save your life if necessary.

Scroll of Town Portal should be with you at all times. Remember to visit the side shops when you can if you didn't have enough money to buy it from your base.

Which Boots?



VS


Here we see how I justify Power Treads over the other types.

Boots of Travel is only gotten on very long games (60 minutes upwards). You don't have a wave-clearing skill to make use of this to farm efficiently (unlike other Heroes such as Tinker, Morphling, Shadow Fiend, etc.). You only get it on long game to get around the map once your attack speed is high enough and the only thing you need then is map control.

Phase Boots is not meant for Drow Ranger. Why? She has Frost Arrows, which would disable Phase if manually-casted. It would be perfect if she had a disabling skill that could be activated before using Phase (if I had to cite just examples, Battery Assault, Rot, or other slow skills). She doesn't; she has Frost Arrows. Keep in mind, though, that auto-casting Frost Arrows does not cancel Phase.

Arcane Boots would solve Drow Ranger's non-existent mana issues. Okay, so you would run out of mana every now and then by using Silence too much, but that doesn't justify forking over 1000 gold to buy an Energy Booster for this item. First, you can't use it for other items when you disassemble it. Second, well, Drow Ranger isn't that big on mana anyway.

HotD Build

Now that we're done with the break from the Boots section, let's move on. This build is generally harder to farm than the first one, because it involves one of the Extensions as a core instead.




Justification: Power Treads is gotten for the same reasons in the previous tabs. Again, don't keep it on AGI all the time. Make full use of it.

Helm of the Dominator is the controversial item here. To sum all our discussions up, the reason why you would get this item is for:

  • EHP (Effective Hit Points) and DPS for mid game.
  • Neutral creeping longevity.
  • Ability to Dominate creeps for 20 minutes.
  • Scalable late game through upgrading to Satanic.
  • Skirmish longevity.

Orb-walking with this item requires extra steps. You have to have Frost Arrows on Autocast to be able to use it. If not, orb-walking happens but you fire Lifesteal shots and use 12 mana. You can effectively switch between chasing and farming/fighting with a right-click.

For more info, just read Kenshiro's well-structured posts on #6 and #9. Other members provided their thoughts as well.

Manta Style is your main damage item. It gives you Mirror Image, a handy ability that can sometimes dodge spells if timed right, too. It increases your overall DPS, and though recently nerfed, it serves a lot in terms of attributes, movement speed, and survival.

Build Options: You should generally go Yasha first. It gives a significant boost for AGI for mid game that Ultimate Orb cannot truly give. Ultimate Orb is harder to farm effectively, and Yasha at least gives additional movement speed for any purpose, such as neutral creeping and chasing. However, if you already have 2100 gold, then you can opt for Ultimate Orb so that things go downhill from there.

Wraith Band, Magic Wand and Scroll of Town Portal, same as ever.


The Luxury Items


Justification: The Butterfly. What should I say? Just don't get two of them.



Justification: Monkey King Bar is preferred over The Butterfly if you're facing tanks like Pandaren Brewmaster (Drunken Haze, Drunken Brawler), and carries like Tinker (Laser) and Phantom Assassin (Blur), or other Butterfly holders. True Strike will make it easier for you to fight them. Don't opt for this item unless you're doing the HotD build since it doesn't stack with Frost Arrows.



Justification: Buriza-Do Kyanon is the item to get if your team has kept the opponent carry at bay and True Strike is not needed. The Critical Strike, even from just Crystalys, should be very beneficial considering your high attack damage. Not only that, these items were recently buffed to have an even higher Critical Strike chance (6.72).



Justification: Assault Cuirass is another item to get if you like your attack speed. However, it adds nothing to your damage, but just amplifies it. Since you're not allowed to get Stygian Desolator, this item might be of good use. Note its expensive components, though.



Justification: While I might not think of Drow Ranger as a good Heart of Tarrasque holder, since The Butterfly is much better, she can get if she has already bought The Butterfly. What kind of pubstomp is this?
