my opinion is that attackspeed is really impt for slark, esp before he gets stacks of agility. he needs a starter motor to get his engine started. hence u go attackspeed
slark doesnt rly have any actual direct damage passive that other hard carries do, i dont think he can really afford not to go for max damage in talents (with the exception of lifesteal) to really be impactful...
Ideally Slark shoud finish of targets like really fast and not to stay fights for too long hence the attack speed talent.

Oh yeah its not like essence shift gives you DAMAGE, ARMOR and ATTACKSPEED. I'd go for 250health every time Kappa
ye i get it if the talent was like +50 atk speed or smth, but +25 rlly? that's not even the amount a midas give , +250 health is as much as a vanguard give
also what about aghanim? i feel like slark always had a free slot that he could play with & now aghanim rlly fit that slot well , especially you only rlly need it late game when you have to use your ultimate alot to fight , maybe a full slotted slark will look smth like this :
treads - silver edge - skadi - abyssal - butterfly - aghanim
^^You're a slark dude, you have essence shift, you get more than what you imagine
You wanna hit hard with Shadow Dance on
aghs haha highly situational
get a shard, manta or heart
aghs is shit how? can someone explain why everyone fantasm about aghs on ursa but on slark its called "shit" when it pretty much has the same purpose except for ursa you can ult when stunned , not to mention ursa ulti has already a retarded low cd , but for slark to go from 60 sec cd all the way to 30 sec is kinda huge imho
i suppose that by lvl 20 slark is already expected to have items like echo and skadi so the hp increase doesnt seem that much prefered even though it seems better when i look at the items that do the same (comparing talents to gold cost)
and then there's essence shift
18 sec from 30 sec vs 30 sec from 60 sec
slark can only fight when hes ult is avaible especially late game, so how does being able to ult twice as often is a bad idea?
there is no need for flame or sarcasm ,im only asking. if u can't prove your point to me as a blue star player it means im probably right
also aghs give like
+10 Strength
+10 Agility
+10 Intelligence
+175 Health
+175 Mana
which is not bad for a hero that buy mostly stat items isn't it?
ok dude heres my serious answer to you
slark is a hero that is extremely dependant on snowballing, he has several serious weaknesses (slow, low hp, low armor, low tower damage, single target, vulnerable laning, cannot clear ancients)
as a result, his item build post-shadow blade consists of highly efficient stat items, silver edge echo sabre and basher all fulfill the niche of granting slark increased hp while also amplifying your burst damage so you can quickly pick heroes out of position
typically after basher, slark needs abyssal or BKB to ensure that he can guarantee he stays on top of his target, as gaining agi stacks is absolutely crucial to success as slark
while the aghs has significant teamfight impact, slark is typically played as a position 1 carry and thus will have difficulty standing against carries like luna and lycan after investing 4200 gold in 375 hp, 10 damage and 10 IAS
In addition, by building aghs instead of echo / SE / basher you reduce your ability to pick people off, significantly reducing your game impact
heres a comparison to
silver edge upgrade: 2400 gold
+15 all stats, break, 8 damage, active reduced cd
aghs: 4200
+10 all stats, 175 hp/mana, ultimate upgrade
wow why ppl feel the need to twist people's words , i never said u dont buy basher or echo sabre to buy aghanims XD i clearly said you buy aghanim for 6 slot slark in late game since there is no other items after u have treads - silver - abyssal - skadi - butterfly holy shit
its the same thing sir. at some point you are choosing aghs over bfly/bash/skadi/bkb which willcripple your effectiveness as a carry

mkb? bkb? refresher? linken? manta? hex? bloodthorn?
hello
Please sign in to post comments.
why do people pick the +25 atk speed @ lvl 20 , i'll take +250 health anyday of the week really , slark is the type of carry that build quite tanky , also people need to buy more aghanims on him honestly , it makes you able to fight more often especially late game.
