I may not be the best player in the world, but Bloodseeker and Nyx Assassin are the only heroes that you would ever want to get a Dagon on as a serious item. Everything else is theory crafting. They are getting them because of mana issues, the massive intelligence a Dagon offers while giving them something else that they need, which is damage to finish off units with their other abilities. Getting it on heroes like Lion or Lina is not necessary at all, especially considering their roles in most teams these days. You would be better off upgrading Finger of Death or going for a Shiva's Guard/ Scythe of Vyse instead.

I enjoy having a tinker dagon or a nyx dagon and ethereal blade combo.

As of writing this, I sometimes include Dagon in my mid-late game build for Death Prophet. By then I have Crypt Swarm and Witchcraft maxed, so the cooldown for Crypt Swarm in 4 seconds. In my experience, not very many heroes can take a Crypt Swarm followed by Dagon followed by another Crypt Swarm. If I'm ganking in the mid game, and my Intelligence is low, I like to carry a Soul Ring to make sure I can cast the second Crypt Swarm. Please tell me if this is a OK build for Prophet, or provide some constructive criticism.

I feel like DP needs some life or some escape first. I always get shadow blade on her.

Why Shadow Blade if she is alot faster than anyone else.Just get Bloodstone and dagon after that.No need for escape if you can take the punishment, Exorcism heals you in the end.

Shadown blade allows you to confuse the enemy. You won't be able to tell where the deathprophet is while her ulti is chasing down the enemy. Also bloodstone and/or dagon will not be able to keep DP alive for every long against real carries.

Actually, if you pop Dust of Appearance near the ghosts, it will reveal Death Prophet.

Say What!?!? That is terrible. I had no idea that that was the case... Gonna have to change my DP build now but so far it has worked out fine. I am 6-1 with her.

+ I have found a new hero that it awesome when you get a dagon on him. His name is Bane
