Windranger Build Guide DOTA 2: Hamstertamer's guide to ganker / semi-carry Wind

Very well written guide! +1.

I would like you to mention that current diffusal blade in enemy's hands is her worst nightmare. That purge completely destroys her skill 3, windrun. Since she is super squishy almost Lina, a windrunner without windrun is hypothetically a dead.

Current diffusal blade burns 50 mana per hit no matter whether melee or range(Click to see Dota2 wiki page...). Her ulti attack speed is average 4 hits per a second then she is burning 200 mana per second plus 160 physical damage (80% as physical damage per mana burnt).

Noticeably, I played with silver edge + diffusal blade level 2 at average 5K ranked match against spec (I was semi carry btw), break the scariest late game carry spectre (solo farming at that time) by silver then shackle, ulti on her and enjoyed how she melted (she left no mana for dagger and manta)xD.

Just want to mention that Diffusal is not that bad! It is pretty good to go and grab.

It sure is.
It's a deserved nerf though. was OP.

Diffusal: 40+10= 50 damage for 3150 gold
: 46 damage for 2400 gold

Since diffusal can't purge yourself anymore, I hardly see a reason to go diffusal over DE. is even more cost-efficient.

If you absolutely need mana burn against WK maybe? That's the only case I can think of.

That'll teach him to not go on Spec, he'd have enough if he did :)

Great build, I like it. I didn't buy the Blink Dagger, but still with the other stuff it's crazy.

The best thing about wr is that people always underestimate her ult. They don't care about , they just go straight to kill you... and die. Awesome guide, she is one of my favorite heroes because of it.

Small 6.83 update :

- More attack speed, nice! is even better than it was before, get it!

- range. It's really good because it allows to offlane better. You can almost sit right under your tower and spam s while taking literally zero risk. There's really no way you can lose your lane now, since you can farm from a 2600 (!!) range. Added as situational to spam powershots in lane. Try to stay in XP range if possible though.

We need a changelog what is being changed every now and then since you are regularly updating this guide which is positive Hamstertamer. Otherwise quite enthusiastically well thought-out guide, +1!
