        i think everyone plays him in offlane now, maxing W over Q
        phase boots or tranquils
        aghs is a must-have
        dagger or sb early are good
        drums are tood
        shivas is good in between aghs and refresher

        Totentanz to The King: M ...

          People started going back to a fighting build with S&Y because you get healed more which makes you a better fighter. This is only good for safelane Doom though I think and when you don't need Aghs.

          Giff me Wingman

            Go offlane, max regen over q, get basi, phase, drums, blink, vlads, aghs, shivas, refresher (sell drums at this point).

            ez pts.

            PTSD

              u can get greaves

                Offlane, devour an ogre magi dude and peeps can't touch you. Get a stout shield, tangos, ring of protection and gg branches. Buy brown boots, bassy, maybe a wand, phase boots, vlad's if you like, blink, aghs. After that if you are semi carry/support doom get shivas and refresher in some order. If you are carry doom get items like ac, heart, those are pretty big ticket so you can go s&y or halberd if you want something cheaper. Abyssal is quite good on him too but he's kinda squishy with hellfire down that's why I like hp or armor items. Bkb if necessary, probably not needed on support doom though.

                I'd get 1 pt in devour, then 2 in hellfire, then maybe 1 in lvl death but you can just keep maxing devour and hellfire if you want. You kinda pick your spots, like I said he's squishy if hellfire is down (unless you have the ogre creep eaten), so kind of hang out in lane, harass, let people think you are weak, then when lvl 2 hellfire is up go ape shit on their support or a squishy carry who can't escape. Just make sure if you aren't going to get the kill to back off as hellfire is expiring. You can wait til level 5 and level 3 hellfire too for even better shots at kills. You can get double kills offlane if they aren't zoning you out and you're 5 when they are 3 or 4.

                ooooooooooo

                    If you need salve yeah, you won't have enough money for stout then. Tranqs is fine too if staying supporter role, phase will let you chase down and annihilate supports though. Wolf creep isn't very good early game cus your dmg is low. The troll with the net can be good but you need to save mana for it.

                    Shadowblade can also be used instead of blink sometimes.

                    Last picking is 4 pussies

                      Haven't played in a while. Doom is now a safelane picked hero? I totally get the offlane from patch notes but surprised he is being played as a 1.

                      Dire Wolf

                        I still don't see why you would play him as a 1. While hellfire is extremely powerful, doom's late game is all about being more farmed than enemy due to devour and taking one person out of a fight with ult, neither of which need safe lane to do. He doesn't have anything that increases his right click dmg the more items he gets. Heroes who are 1 spots tend to scale like wk with crit, or slardar with bashes and -armor, doom doesn't have any of that. You can certainly farm carry items, but you don't need the safelane farm.

                          You can get alpha wolf and then your right click hurts a lot.
                          But its offlaner nowdays in 90% of games.

                            Dire Wolf - yep, double Doom & hitting for 400-500dmg with no dmg items is really bad late game. Not to mention lvl of Death, which is Laguna Blade on low cd that stuns. He is one of the strongest late game heroes. You nearly instantly kill 2 heroes with refresher, ur tanky as fuck + u deal insane rightclick dmg (if u eat wolf). He is the most broken late game hero, nearly impossible to counter in late game.

                              he isnt most broken but he is right up there, he transitions from every stage nicely, from early to mid to late. thats why he is so good atm. not because you cant counter doom late game, coz you can.

                              bibi

                                Best counter to doom late is BKB + linken, so he cant lvl death before doom to pop linken, force him into resfresher then recieve 2 dooms as a core or be doom-free and destroy him.

                                Dire Wolf

                                  I didnt' say he sucks late game but rather he doesn't need items and his right click doesn't scale as much with items so why give him safe lane? He's just as effective going off or even jungle. That was my point.

                                    What heroes counter doom and what charecters is doom good against and why?

                                    Dire Wolf

                                      heroes that don't need to cast to win, like strong right clickers and natural linkens carriers. Medusa is a very good pick, linkens garuntees she'll get ult off and she doesn't need to cast after that. Sniper maybe but people hate him in general. Silencer and sky cus a silenced doom before he casts helfire/doom is a dead doom.

                                      And doom is really good vs heroes that need mobility mostly, he's great vs am, qop, storm and then any big caster like invoker, zeus. He can be very good vs like PA and wk types disabling their passives but you need aghs first.

                                        i find it funny nobody menteions lotus orb

                                        Elo - Hell

                                          AA is arguably the best Doom counter. sits too far back to doom, and can disable all his regen.
                                          In lane, goodluck with that shit doom will run down any hero you put safelane

                                          Dire Wolf

                                            ha lotus orb, seen it maybe twice ever

                                            Ninoeshaebashu

                                              just playing doom against storm, ember, and am. Yea, its great

                                              黑鬼 [我不好]

                                                DOOM w/ tranqs, orb of venom, aghs, shivas guard for armor & AoE slow, blink dagger (situational), hand of midas (situational), heart (game is in the back). bkb (situational), refresher and/or vladimirs. i go for the wolf buff, the big red dude and the purple dude

                                                typically after i get my boots and my orb i run mid & snatch an ez kill. bonus points if i pick up a haste on the way

                                                  Thanks guys, this helped me a lot.

                                                    Grom - linken+BKB is not a combo affordable for most carries. If u go 2 such defensive items with poor stats u will lack dmg. Not to mention it's still easy to pop linken with most heroes, before u can BKB.

                                                    Pilot

                                                      Idk why people diss lotus orb. It's ability to purge a lot of negative effects like hex is really good and the added utility of a reflected spell is a bonus.

                                                        @morgan freeman I think you misspelled "Huskar" as "Doom"
