I would say Aghs is an ultra late game item on Abaddon. Get Vlad, Drums, and AC first. By then game should be already ended. An AC before 30 min in the game is actually game changing.
AC lasts for the entire teamfight, while Aghs effect only last for 6 secs. The stats addition is good, but the AS and the amour by AC is even better. Abaddon should really get an AC, unless someone in the team already got it.
Also consider to buy and oov early game. Oov is just awesome for this hero.
Normally, you get Abaddon for a deathball strat. You really that AS and amour to siege. If you get AC after Aghs, it's already too late, enemy heroes may also have one to negate yours.
well i dont wanna play aba for a deathball strat, i want to widen my hero pool so i need item tips in general
aether lens is honestly a support abba item not an offlane item
u dont need the extra range when half the shields are self-cast and you are in close proximity with the other frontliners in ur team who require coil/shield
you dont even get arc boots since the choice is almost always phase
If you don't have any good mek carrier in your team, you can just rush mek, group up and take some early objectives. And later build Guardian greaves.
Although there is no doubt Phase boots/Tranquils are better if you already have a mek carrier. Other items I like is drums, vlad, aghs, ac
Well I played it one game in a pushing lineup and it worked well http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2118428823
What to buy if gyro goes drums?
Even as an offlaner your job is to keep everyone else alive. So any item that buffs up the team is good. Vlads, AC, Drums and Ags are all really good. Blink dagger can be situationally good since you don't take damage during your ult and thus it never goes on cooldown. Mek is okay if nobody else is getting it but it does take a big chunk out of your mana pool. Pipe also good in the right situations. Haven't yet tried Aether lens but it could be good especially if you need more mana.
Aether lens sounds nice....the cast range on shield is so pathetic in-game....
On a side note, how does aether lens improve the various aspects of LOA spells? Does it heal more? Does the shield absorb more?
the damage of the shield exploding increases, but the amount of damage absorbed does not increase. aether lens does not increase the healing amount of any healing spells, unless you consider octarine since you'll be doing more damage so that octarine will heal more.
well thats like really minimal :D
aba is quite nice, i totally underestimated that hero. his passive is a really sick pushing skill. 2-0 so far
