General DiscussionWhy is this a viable build on a PA????????

I find armlet deso to be way more legit. HP-IAS-Damage

MoM every game...How is he above 50% on PA

and whats wrong with that

he has 2 lifesteals thats like 1k crit = 500 hp restored

he has insane amount of evasion and high base armor with vladi its even higer if enemy team has no nuke heavy heroes its perfect build for pa but if theres atleast couple nukes hes good for nothing

@pilot I always thought that armlet on pa is risky as fuck mainly because you're agi and not str(so you won't get the full bonus).Also that degen aura can really fuck you up. But if it fits into your playstyle why not

Yeah I had a friend who couldn't do anything with the conventional PA build (mainly because farming all game isn't his thing), but with the armlet deso build (and BKB somewhere before or after Deso), he's able to be quite successful with his PA. So whatever works for people I guess

people who build armlet on pa are fucking braindead

Alright I had no idea Vlads and orb life steal items stacked until reading other forums:

Still doesn't seem like a viable build having one guy get two life steal items oh well. I stand corrected. Either way, it seems that the PA build would of been more viable grabbing the vlads later in the game so the AMP dmg increase would of been more viable later in the game as she/he acquired more agi/dmg output items so the 15% damage aura would of helped then and not brown boots/MoM/Vlads. Oh well food for thought I guess.

The MoM doesn't warrant for the squishiness of the hero. She needs survivability. Unless it's a support, she's up against, she can't do shit. You have like less than 1k hp with MoM and Vlads (decent armor pick-up). I still think that HoD an vlads seems more feasible. than Mom and Vlads. You notice how he has a 1.42kda...whihc shows how often he dies and relies on dragging the game late so taht she has more items and crit to play with...Not sure how he has 52% wr but I guess that's his skill bracket..

his kda is probably more indicative of the fact that he's awful at dota, all his kdas are bad

MoM is legit on PA but I'm not man enough to build it on her :p

it isn't viable, it's just normal bracket.

i dont like the build... don't think it would work actually

In a lower MMR game, why not?

And I'm terrible, so...........

I saw it the other day thought it was funny too. I guess it's something to do when you are down and behind.

MoM can be usefull, just a very different type of playstyle than the one you are used to

Personally I don't think that any build on PA which doesn't include a BKB is viable.

You will almost always be target no1 for any disables and nukes at the beginning of the fight.

Just have a look at how much better my games went as soon as I realised how necessary it is on her (including games we lose)
