General DiscussionSven through dominator+armlet rather than throug mask of madness

I'm pretty sure that's how people were playing Sven until they stopped reasoning "Mask of Madness = shit item".
Yeah, there was a time when MoM was a pretty infamous item.

I think you will almost always get BKB on sven so you will negate the MoM debuff; on the other hand, you could take Dominator to stack camps and later upgrade into Satanic

make HoD early use it to stack ancients/big camp, dominate and Alfa wolf, blue oger or healing goblin solo rosh with them. then disassemble HoD to make a MoM and armlet farm BKB, win.

wasnt armlet sven a thing back in dota1 ?

I don't like MoM + Armlet Sven, I think your HP is going to drop way to quick. I mean MoM is insanely good and almost a must I feel, other than wrecking team fights, the MS is super handy and your farm rate is crazy. I'd much rather have MoM + BKB and/or a dagger in there somewhere.

My only game with sven on this account is actually the worst thing ever. Mag lands a brilliant 5 man RP, I've got MoM + Buriza + ulti + EMP all up, I'm right fkn there to clean up. Clock has other ideas as he hookshots in and uses cogs...genius

Armlet was technically good on any hero in Dota 1 because it gave you infinite life barring quickly ticking DOTs/lag because it had no cooldown and instant hp heal.

Nice

This eskimole guy posts " Nice" in all threads :D

i got to add him in my fr list :D

or, you could get dominator, stack the ancient three times then disassemble it into Mom+Armlet -edit- someone suggested it before me

anyway i've been playing around with armlet+MoM and it's a ridiculously strong build, makes you farm incredible fast while being extremely cost efficient.

armlet+heart+skadi is a nice build, gives you 4.5k hp and 2k crits if you get a daedalus on top of it

@Zenoth, would you mind linking some examples? Like perfect Sven game and OK game?

this game was coming back from a 20k gold deficit thanks to the efficiency of armlet+MoM despite facing a broodmother lane

sold the armlet eventually for bfly though because WK was chopping me too hard and i was the only one who could tank him

-edit- yeah zeus carried us through too it was incredible

Ty Zenoth will watch it later! Holy fuck that zeus did a lot of dmg

wouldnt it be better to just get a mom and early blink so you can go for more kills early on? might just be me i guess
