So now that Lone Druid's spirit bear has a mana pool (albeit a small 300) what items will we see picked up on him? I mean now you can build Mjollnir and use the active without switching it from bear to hero. Same goes for Abyssal Blade. What other items might we see built legit on the bear now, possible Shadow Blade? And yes you can name some troll ones. One that I will have to try; Manta Style
Your new diet for heroes; You will need 4 wards (cuz wards taste better), 1 set of tangoes, 1 mango, 1 cheese.
With this you can make a nice Tango Mango Cheese platter. You can wash this all down with a nice bottle of water, Can be flavoured with red, green, yellow, blue, purple AND GOLD!
Caution: Taking roshan 3 times is required.

I was thinking Mjollnir or Manta Style. TPs could also be interesting for map mobility and split pushing.

Mjollnir for certain. I'm sure Dagon will pop up now and then. I would be interested to see some defensive items, pull out a Blademail or Pipe and laugh. Even Shiva's would be pretty sweet to see.

Abyssal Blade sounds pretty broken honestly.

LD's problem was that he had trouble chasing as long as he didn't get a root but now you can just abyssal the guy with the bear and catch up to him.

I think abyssal on the bear is really a huge buff to LD.

Saw a Mask of Madness on a Lone Druid yesterday and it worked out pretty well.

You don't need TPs, he already does this. TP with the hero and then use the Bear's Q to TP him to the hero. The problem is that it doesn't work backwards, so the hero can't TP to the bear without a scroll of his own, and you can't attack with the bear unless the hero is close.

Mask of Madness is actually pretty wild on it because it's the best attack speed for the price and you can get it so early. You'll be getting roots left and right, and considering the bear can outfight most heroes early on once he's level 4, people will have a hard time against him. I bet we see a lot less Radiance LD and a lot more early fight builds.

So to the TP thing for bear, I think the idea behind it is you TP top with bear assuming he has Radiance and possibly Necronomicon and then proceeds to slowly push that lane whilst the rest of the team pushes a different lane.

On another note I think Fumbles maybe onto something with the early aggresive LD with a bear having MoM and Blademail. I mean seriously the bear has a good 2.5k+ health around LD at lvl 6... Can you just imagine a bear walking into the other team and popping the mail... you cant just completely kill it due to the high backlash damage.

Actually thinking about it Manta would be good. I mean the bear can't attack but his illusions can. right? So split pushing build could be; Boots of Travel, Manta Style, Necronomicon, Radiance and other stuff.... seriously valve you have made more OP combos real this patch. I think.

Stop the Manta Style.

It wont work. Tested it out in a lobby, the bear showed the animations but no illusions were created.

I think Crimson Guard would be good.

Thanks Unscathed for clearing that up... Valve fix. I WANT BEAR ILLUSIONS!
And your right, it might be good if you went for the vanguard build... personally I don't
