Rax Shredder

About the Additional chapter, if you want to learn anything about formatting, you should read this guide.

Thank you for that hades. I will try to spice up the guide and add some extra thoughts I have when I get time.

Good guide, but a few things I noticed:

- I think you should add HoT and maybe Satanic (or HotD) to your item build
- For the mana depletion, you could just get a bottle or even a Void Stone if necessary

HoT is a lot of gold. Do you suggest subbing it out for another item? the daedalus maybe? I'm very partial to my crits. I do see the point in being able to regen and stay in the fight. Would a battle fury be a better option instead of HoT? regen, damage, and possibly solving the mana problem all at once. Where do you think it would best fit in the item build?

I forgot, thanks for the good guide comment :D

Yeah, a fed luna wins the rax everytime. Those glaives man.

IF you're aiming to push, why build like a semi-carry?
Manta is an excellent first item, semi-carry or not, and one I complete agree with.
Why not swap out the treads for arcane boots? Urn will also provide mana regen + the active.

Disagree with crit, I don't see the point - you have crit, I also don't know why you left reality rift maxed until level 4 - it has a 6 sec cd at level 4, why not level it once more for more presence?
I see you included a few int based items to see if you can solve your mana issues - a great item that will synergy with this build well is a Necronomicon give you int and str plus the active for more push power - plus it's presence in team fights.

you've got your role confused, you're trying to push while trying to semi-carry at the same time - you're trying to farm like a carry, yet be present for all team clashes. this is very difficult to pull off. know your place and role - like you said veno is a very varsatile hero, but when you wnat to support, you build that, when you want dps you build that too - you can't do both.. :)
*I'm sorry if the above seems harsh, I meant it in a very supportive sense!! :D*

I understand what you were trying to say and appreciate the feedback greatly. The reason I get crit items is playing the odds in my favor and boosting my damage. Nearly every semi carry or carry I like to have crit. Just the way I prefer.
I sometimes max rift at 8, it really just depends on the game. Sometimes I need it,othertimes I don't.
The urn could take place of the drums, but more often than not someone else on my team has it. I could easily communicate that I will build it and the rest of my team can get better items, or just other items, not necessarily better.
I don't really play as a pusher early or mid game with this build. The point of it is to be able to take the advantage you have after a team fight and translate that into a certain victory by raxing immediately after a late game team fight.
The crits aren't necessary on Chaos Knight but this was the most recent game I played with him and the build I used for late game. They had some very tanky heroes and my team lacked any real damage doers because the Templar Assasin was underfarmed and the rest of my team were lacking all potential to do damage. I don't build them everytime, but I do like them a lot.
I would like to thank you again for you feedback and will try to keep this in mind. I will try out the necro book and urn and see how that goes.

No probs - arcane boots is worth considering as an early game item - which you could break up / sell for another set of boots 30 minutes into the game. MAGIC wand is a must as always.

Well from the crit point of view - the reason I say you don't need it, because you have it - is you can spend the money on something else - an Abyssal blade for example will give you bash, damage and an INSANE active that goes THROUGH magic immunity bkb for the 1k more. The nice thing about it - is you can build the basher for the start of the game, and still get a few other items for damage, then build the final abysal later on.

Well given your game process for this hero - a GREAT early item is an armlett.. GREAT item, everything you could want on Chaos knight - your illusion also get the + stats from the active, but do not get 37hp/sec drain.. win win ;-)

bare in mind a necro book is hard to build, as you don't realy feel it's effects immediately (until you get the first level, because the bulk of the cost is recipe)

I'm not going to do the math on this, but assuming you are trading blows from one other hero, would a MoM be better than an armlet? slighly cheaper, plus lifesteal and no HP drain if you arent trading blows. then you go farm a creep wave and are near full health again, hopefully.
Just to put it out there, I am a noob and still don't know everything yet.
On the abyssal blade, i tend to have a hard time holding on to gold, much less 3800. If the game were going in my favor and I got my manta early enough this seems like an easy feat, but how often in pub games does everything go your way?
on the armlet idea, i just don't like teamfighting with it on, allows you to be nuked down much easier since you are killing yourself.
