Doom Build

In most of the pro games that I've seen, people almost always go for a very similar build on Doom - Phase Boots, Drum of Endurance and Vladmir's Offering along with devouring an Alpha Wolf for the extra damage. I've never really thought of Doom as a right-clicker due to his horrible agi growth, but is it really that good?
People in pubs mostly seem to rush Aghs into shadow blade, while im a pretty big fan of utility doom with Mek/Arcanes/Vlads, then any luxuries after that. I was wondering what other viable item builds are there on Doom this patch.

bump...

Nobody is playing him, apparently :)

And I can't help you either, sorry! Like you, I only know those builds. Very frequently Blink Dagger too.

Use dotobuff guides to get an idea of what's popular in 4.5k+ bracket. If that's viable there, it should be viable in lower brackets(with some exceptions for some heroes, like Mek SF).

He's not played as a right-clicker, he's played as a utility/aura carrier. He stacks movement speed items and auras that help his team. The wolf aura is there because it gives +30% damage to his entire team. Vlads and drum, same.

You can build Doom as a right-clicker if you want, but generally he's best played as a semi-carry with aura items.

By the way replace Drum of Endurance with Blade Mail. It's just a better item altogether, similar stats except it gives armor and a 100 times better active.



There were threads on him some time ago for example
