he is ok, although i would rather have necro / ember / weaver on my team almost always
he is pretty cool to have on your team if you are sniper i would guess
the hero is not particularly resilient to magical damage though, and eclipse / remnant / scythe type spells can probably wreck his shit
@triplesteal because im not a dk player and I saw someone else do it with great success. Also its 1.5k dota so getting an initiation isnt really needed and with crystalis you do a ton of damage. Also because I was leaning more towards a late game carry than an initiator.
maelstroms more damage and MJ is more effective dps than straight crit rush and has more synergy with DKs kit
i wish people would stop buying AC and get bfly / skadi instead its like they do not understand how armor works or aren't reading his damn talents
so most heroes want a mix of damage and IAS right
so a hero like PA has a lot of IAS from her blink, so she goes into damage items first. She might later go back for an AC, manta, or similar item, but only after probably deso, abyssal, and BKB
DK gets a ton of damage from armlet ~60, but a bit less IAS. Because the hero is STR and has no natural attack speed steroid, a mixed damage/ias item like maelstrom will give more dps than crystalis. in addition, maelstrom makes you farm faster due to being an AoE item. AoE items also synergize with your splash attack.
he is good with proper pick..
*pros: high armor
ranged attack range
splash dmg
spammeable long range-instant stun
good for early push
mov speed debuff fully stackable with UAM
*cons:
low mov speed
low atk speed,
low hp (what make s him vulnerable to magic burst)
lvl dependency (need to be lvl 16 fast as posible)
he is not the faster, the tougher, the most damaging, doesnt have even the best stun in the game.. so, if u need something specific to fix a hole in your team, he most probably isnt a good hero
he is just average in everything, plus, he is VERY strong in mid.. he is good to be a head (as tank/ pusher), initiate a fight, and be a semi carry, but need backup in every strat..
he is bad to carry a game, to tank without supporting, to initiate without follow up
when u wanna play with him, mostly u need a hero like abbadon or omnikight, and a hard carry.
spammeable long range-instant stun
long range-instant stun
range-instant stun
instant stun
instant

Midlane DK is kind of garbage he can stay in the lane but he won't win the lane, safelane DK doesn't pay off, but maybe offlane DK or support DK is worth experimenting with.
@RPQ-sama is quick enough.. evadeable, but not easy to do
Kryptnyt i also agree with u, but he isnt that bad either
I wanna try armlet radiance bkb mjollnir skadi for the memes
Ive already tried manta just to make more dragons.

Dk + manta with Ck + aghanim. Best duo ever. Even aoe spells can't stop us.
Well, we don't have luna on our team and just as you said, the more dragons the more merrier. All of us had silly builds anyway
1600 speed is same as other spell projectile, easy to disjoint by manta
and they made him look like farting
no more instant stun means dk is not failproof anymore
fucking sad shit
they should make it pierce bkb for the nerf when elder form

What are peoples opinions on dk. Personally I'm finding him to be a really strong hero right now that is hard to kill and can deal a lot of damage with just armlet and crystalis. He also seems to transition much better into a hard carry.
