    I've been spamming LD offlane with some success (~70% winrate this month) and I would like some tips

    I find the Radiance build way too slow and greedy on an offlaner, I have found more success and reliability in MoM+Mjoll+AC for the bear and just HotD for Druid, dominating a Siege Creep

    Also, all guides recommend the +40 Rabid AS talent at lvl 20 but I almost always take the Battle Cry CDR talent, specially in a late game scenario with the Spell Immunity talent at lvl 25. (5sec BKB with 15sec cooldown is no joke) What do you think?

    I've been thinking about Desolator for even more push power, but still confused about when to get it if I ever do

    I know Offlone Druid is not optimal or even viable, but in my bracket everything is possible, specially with the offlane pull that none knows how to counter, anyway, appreciate any input, ty!

      offlane druid is viable in every bracket just depends on pick phase so you don't get fucked by an earthshaker or tusk pick

          Boots early or boots as starting items? I just try to rush HotD asap with the little farm I get, even with the pull

          Btw what should be my starting items?

          I start with Tango, Quell Stout or Tango, OoV, Stout depending on the situation

          I also like to buy an Obs Ward to block their small camp, low bracket hardly ever counters it

            BOOTS AS STARTING ITEMS , PUT ON BEAR THEN PULL 1ST WAVE CREEP , GET RABID LVL2 , THEN GIVE BOOTS BACK TO LD , SHOULD BE EASY LANING NOW , JUST CONTROL BOUNTY , ALSO GET MAGIC WAND , UR SKILLS SHOULD BE , LVL2 BEAR , LVL1 RABID, LVL 1 ROAR , .. ALSO GET ORBS OF VENOM TO BEAR TO HARRAS ENEMY SUPS WITH BEAR IF THEY COME TO CREEP WAVE , JUST LET CREEPS AND BEAR TANK , N WATCH YOUR LD POSITION AND DONT GET CAUGHT BY SNOWBALL OR STUNS . HOTD IS SITUATIONAL ITEM , IF ENEMY DONT PICK LIFESTEALER , OR ANY HERO THAT CAN KILL YOUR CREEP IN A BLINK OF EYE. WHEN UR BEAR LOW HP , U HAVE 2 CHOICE , 1 BAIT ENEMY TO DIVE TOWER TO CHASE YOUR BEAR THEN SIMPLY RESUMMONED UR BEAR AND USE ROAR , OR 2 , TP BEAR TO BASE TO GET ITEM , OR JUST RESUMMONED IF YOU HAVE GOOD LANING

                @Lone Dog pls share some thoughts here this smurf guy doesn't make any sense

                I see that you get radiance even if you only get it after 20min, is it that good? My MoM+Mjoll isn't that effective?

                  Nvm, just found your guide at Dotafire, very well written sir

                  Funny thing is that a lot of what you said I have been doing all along automatically, kinda proud of myself

                  Shou

                    Radiance is pretty core
                    It's ok if it's a bit late I mean u r offlane
