Atlas got it, and also if you go solo lane you better be farming. When there arent any team fights finding empty lanes to farm is good, and even the jungle with sadist maxed. Not saying you should deny your harder carries farm but you should be getting a substantial amount. As this guide focuses more on the semi carry - support role of necrolyte with a touch of tankyness, slightly similar to a death prophet with more damage and utility and less tower pushing. the idea behind the name was to show this is a guide with a more farming side of necro, as well as he farms with a scythe that shoots plague, uses a ability to farm that also projects the plague and it overall goes with his theme

Ou lol I get it now. Wait wasn't it a Hoe?

Hoes are more gardening and used to till the dirt. Scythes are for actually harvesting the crop.

@Wulfstan
It might be a good pick up getting a few levels if you are going up against someone like lifestealer or a pudge in mid. But in Mid game the only times you would be close enough to these heroes to proc the hp removal would be for engagements that dont go on for very long. Early game Necro's Q and E need to be leveled asap so he can farm and do significant damage in the early game, late game The stats are more important for the strength/HP gain as well as the Intell/MANA gain. If you are going up against a team of mostly strength heroes and you need the damage, I would pick it up. So I would say its a situational pick up leveling it earlier insted of stats

Why do you max the aura so late?Its very good against beefy enemies because it is based on HP Removal and not any kind of damage(means that magic immune units-like Lifestealer, Black King Bar lovers still get damaged).

@Reswob
That is a good point, I would think of it more as a preference pick. Since at level one it only heals 50 hp and you dont need it for last hits (as you shouldn't really be getting much at all when your carry is in lane) But thanks for bringing that up. I'd think about picking it up at level one if no wards are up near your lane, and I wouldn't even skill either untill you are sure

@Wilddeonpwn
Done and done, I'm really new to this whole thing and it was a mess up on my behalf, thanks to you too
