General DiscussionPOST UR DIRETIDE BEST GAMES HERE

Naix is good hero, sucks lot of hp from lil roshans.

I've only made it up to level 8, but from what I see, it's about high-damage magical nukes. Everyone gets Travels + Ethereal _+ Dagon + Orchid + Veil + Refresher. Pudge is useful for the bite, but that's about all he's good for.

i didnt go over lvl 6 yet :C btw did someone notice any difference in drops like more items or smth when u get higher level on rosh instead of 4/5/6

Most people just go Eth blade and Dagon and spam nukes. You have to kite Roshan. A lineup of ranged carries could do some nasty damage and survive for long too I think. Gotta try Windrunner ult + Daedelus. :)

Shadow essence dropped on level 3 rosh. Probly the level doesnt correspond to loot tables.

Its much more likely however, that the higher level roshan is, the better the drops are. (higher % to drop)

well for some reason i got 3 recipes after that lvl 6 rosh game so i thoguht roshans lvl had something to do with that :p

Most people tend to do ethereal+dagon, but currently the top match was full carries and right click damage with rapiers and daedalus with one person who got a deso.

one team with lockdown, opposite team with pure dmg. (pa, ursa etc)

Vince why did u change your avatar

I can confirm that rosh level increases loot rarity. Watched a few matches that went 30+ level rosh, they always got shadow essence or cursed recipe. No idea if multiple items, just the one pictured was rare stuff.

I think Rubick is the best choice for Diretide! Just look at this: http://dotabuff.com/matches/384227764
You won't win Roshan, but you will have awesome time, stealing Pudge hooks and Lion fingers with early Bloodstone and Dagger. So much fun!!!
