Could you suggest me any unusual item build that could work?
As for now I tried 6x Bracer > 6x Drum of Endurance > 2x Heart of Tarrasque on Beastmaster and I managed to win the game with nearly 5k hp ;D

Also I wanted to try mid Io with Power Treads, Armlet of Mordiggian and Heart of Tarrasque, but I couldn't get enough farm for HoT and hp drain was too much to handle :<

Mid Io works pretty well, but not with those items, look up some Starladder games. I believe its Fnatic that likes to run it.

I know that he is viable on mid, I would say that was core of my idea :D I'm just looking for troll items.

Armlet of Mordiggian + Mask of Madness on Treant Protector works wonders; I would like to try a Drum of Endurance + Armlet of Mordiggian + Yasha build (very similar to the standard Tiny build but with an Armlet instead of Agh's and very early Drums) too but I never have time to do so. It seems fun, though. :D

Other than that, I realized that many hard carries on which players usually build a Linken's Sphere can be very effective with the typical Drum of Endurance + Yasha combo: Morphling, Weaver, Naga Siren... It even works on Riki and Viper.

I would love to see Io played mid, but why would you ever do it?

His W is pretty nice for harass and last hit if maxed first, also fast lvl 6 allows you to do ganks early (I guess).

Drum of Endurance + Yasha is for bigger movement speed or what? I can't see why this is good combo ;d

It's just the typical AGI carry build that gives usefulness in mid game and grants a good late game: Gyrocopter and Phantom Lancer are the best "competitive" examples, you will never see one of them without Drums for getting laning advantage and Yasha/Manta for increasing the late game damage. They are very cost-efficient items (especially the Drums), I really like them.

Played a team match making game last night about 20 min our cary player had to go. We chose to keep playing and turned our off lane Windrunner into a cary. Agihem + crit + bash was the final item build we decided on. It was not to be sadly since we could not win the mid game.
My lone druid starting items are 12 Iron wood branches, 6 for the hero and 6 for the bear. Even if the bear does not get stats more twigs are OP on any hero.

My friends favourite build is movespeed sandking >< where you go phase, drum, euls sceptre, yasha (to be turned into SnY or Manta, Manta for mana, SnY for more MoveSpeed and Hp) Force Staff, then TP boots stacked with phase. I really dont like this build but if you are looking for an unusual build i think this is it..............
