Few questions about Slark in General Discussion
FallFromGrace

    1. The right way to treadswitch with pact is int -> cast pact -> str -> take damage from pact -> agi , right? Is it worth especially early when farming with lvl1 ult?
    2. Echo sabre or SB first? I would almost always go echo first to increase my farming speed and because without some addictional str it seems like I'm melting to my own pacts.
    3. When to go aquila?

    Thx for responses

      You want to be on int when casting and losing mana yes cus when you switch it maintains your percentage. For the hp loss slark doesn't need to worry about that cus his ult passive will regen when he runs to next camp. Just swap between int and agi.

      I think sb first always so you can find some pickoffs.

      I love aquila on him but aquila plus echo is a tad overkill.

        1. "maximum" efficiency would be INT->Cast->AGI->hit creeps->STR->take dmg->AGI->hit creeps.

        but the +5-10 dmg isn't worth the micro. you'd be better off looking at the minimap/using your camera. plus if you miss-micro it you take more dmg which imo isn't worth it because if you're not level 11 yet, your shadow dance won't regen u enough to heal fast enough in jungle if you are using dark pact off cooldown.

        so just INT->cast->STR->tank dmg->AGI->hit creeps

        2. IMO: echo. gives you mana regen too which lets u sustain dark pact off of CD.

        3. i build it all games, but i think proper meta would be any time you don't need raindrops.

          yes switch to str for the pact damage especially with lvl 1 ult its a huge difference lol

            Thx Marlan :-). That maximum efficiency is bit over my mechanical skills but that int,Q, str, tank pact dmg, agi and hit creeps is pretty easy to get into muscle memory.

              btw once u get lvl 2 or definitely level 3 shadow dance just do int->cast->agi->hit creeps

              i mean u can keep going str if u wanna be a TriHard but imo it's again, not worth the micro, you can do other things with your time.
