Spectre: Echo Sabre? in General Discussion
Dissolution

    I think this Item is quite good on (ganking) Spectre (at least early game it seems like a good item), but I don't see anyone ever build it.
    1st of all pls disregard my skill bracket - I like theory crafting and I -think- I am quite good at it despite this being a possibly bad idea.
    2nd what do you think about this? Why?

    Ty all if you reply

    P.S.: Spectre with Echo Sabre has 64% win rate so I think it indeed is a decent item. So why don't people build it, like, ever?

      Its a good item combined with Desolate. But it doesn't provide a sufficient boost in spectres farming abilities, which is crucial for that hero, that's why you don't see it much

        people dont like that type of spec, if you dont rush radiance you are a noob.

          ^ that's also because most people lack versatility and can't accept uncommon builds

            I am by no means a theory-crafter at all. I simply play the game.

            I feel like most people see Echo Sabre on this hero and think along the lines of "I could get this... or I could be even more effective with blademail/diffusal/yasha/vanguard"

              Yeah I guess it's only rly helpful at securing those quick kills when you haunt someone, or finish tankier targets off. Highly situational, I suppose.

              I think it rly should rape haunted ones early tho if you have max desolate at 7 :o

                Does effect from echo sabre work on illusions though? I'm just recently back to dots and have no clue.

                  it should be fine with a ganking mid-game type of spectre but sacrifices her farming speed(diffusal,urn,drums,aquila....u know)
                  but I hope it won't be as popular,hell,noobs can't even get fat with radi,let alone this build
                  I also like unusual builds and playing as versatile as possible,and this build seems legit

                    ^ I see you've got riki in your profile picture and like unconventional builds, so here's one:

                    You skip brown boots and go straight into building dagon 5, you should only use dagon when enemies are sure to be killed with it, that way you get the kill gold and can afford to purchase the rapiers you will get afterwards.

                        Nah no cooldown items seem to work with illusions.

                          I am not worthy to go for phantom riki build

                            Try dagon+octarine, it's pretty funny

                              if people use echo sabre on specre = they call them noob
                              if Miracle- use echo sabre on spectre = they call it new meta

                                  ES on spectre is fucking retarded i am sorry.

                                  If ur enemy has a carry who is farming, he will have more damage output then you in the first team fights, and thats almost an instaloss.

                                  Spec thrives off of tankiness and direct damage output.

                                    I think it's actually quite good cus drums got nerfed and it's good stats.

                                      I always build echo for spect, ez hunting.. ulti + bm + echo seem very nice on early game
