Let's Get Intimate!

Hello everyone to my first build in DOTAFire! My IGN is Sun Of The Beach, server SEA. Because this is my first build, so i will put this as Work In Progess, plz tell me what to fix, i am appreciated!
P.S: Sorry if my grammar is wrong in some parts, i'm from Vietnam, English is not my main language.

This is a build about Venomancer - Though he looks ugly but very dangerous at level 1, i made this build to help Veno - Lovers to keep Venomancer alive & maximize the power of Venomous Gale and Poison Nova

Pros / Cons

Pros:
- VERY EASY to get First Blood
- Great ultimate in combat
- Free Wards!
- Can SOLO ROSHAN
- Can be played as a Semi-Carry

Cons:
- Extremely low HP and Mana early game
- You can miss Venomous Gale if not aim carefully
- Wards can give enemies free gold
- Focused first in clashes

Pick him if:
- Enemies have low HP carries to kill.
- You have good partners to First Blood.
- Your team has other initiators to work with your ult.
- Enemies have little or non Disable skills

DONT Pick him if:
- Enemies have counters for your Venomous Gale, example: Blink, Press the Attack, etc.
- Too many stuns, silences.
- Too many tankers
- Enemies have high burst DMG

Skills

Q Venomous Gale

This is the MOST HORRIFIC SKILL to get at level 1, 50% slow at level 1, who doesn't love it? And more, the damage is LETHAL
Be careful though, this cost TONS OF MANA (for Veno)at early game, don't spam it unless:
- Ganking
- Saving teammates
Max this first.

W Poison Sting

Good passive, good harass, good for chasing enemies, overall good skill, and it STACKS with other slows.
I put 1 point early game and max this last.

E Plague Ward

These cute lil' wards are a force to be reckoned with in mass numbers, and they save you some $$$ in warding, but remember to deny them as with other creeps, because they give gold and can be easily killed. Oh, 1 more thing: they have 50% of your Poison Sting
Max this second.

R Poison Nova

This is a BEAST in clashes if used correctly, at level 3 and Aghanim-ed, they burn for 108 Magical DMG/sec, that means a LOT. But, here's the thing: It can't kill anyone. So remember to use your Plague Ward in conjunction.
Max this whenever possible.

The battle begins.

Early Game:
- The best lane for Veno to go in this build is offlane (or the long lane) as a support, hope you have jungle creep-pulling skill, because you will need to do that a lot, remember to call missing, and tell others to help you gank
- If you can, try to 5 man gank offlane, give mid or carry the First Blood.
- Items: Grab some Tango, and Sage Mask if you need mana, or u can buy Ring of Protection if u want some toughness, remember to ward.

Mid Game:
- Time to participate in clashes, remember to save mana, because in level 6, u can only use Poison Nova and u won't have mana left enough for Venomous Gale, always remember: Nova - Ward.
- U can solo Roshan at level 7, if your team has Ursa, u don't need to care. But if not, save the Aegis for carries, mids or tankers.
- Item Explanation: U should've had Ring of Basilius and one of the boots above by Mid Game:
+ Tranquil Boots: If u need recover from ganks.
+ Arcane Boots: If u need more mana for long clashes.
+ Power Treads: Need Hp/ DMG & Armor/ Mana and AS? Grab this.
- Your Core Explanation:
+ Mekansm: Grab this if your team has squishy heroes.
+ Sange: Cheapest amongst the three, give more HP than the Vanguard, but trades Hp/sec for slow attacks, if u buy Tranquil Boot, buy this.
+ Vanguard: Buy this to prevent enemies from killing you too fast, and it gives HP regen if u decided to not but Tranquil Boot.

Mid-Late Game:
- This is where your ult becomes ULTRA STRONG, with the Aghanim's Scepter, u burn hard in clashes, combine with good teammates, u win EVERY clash. If u in need of an escape mechanism and initiation tool, buy:
+ Blink Dagger: Though expensive but this gives a suprise element to the fight, giving your team an advantage.
+ Shadow Blade: Gives damage, AS, and invi - better escape then blink, but don't right click anyone when u r invi, watch out for Dust.

Laaaaaaateeeee Game:
- All your skills slowly drops off this time, consider grabbing Disables, an extra initiation tool OR go semi-carry
- Luxuries Explanation:
+ Butterfly: Gives MS to catch up to teammates and evasion, great for semi-carry veno.
+ Shiva's Guard: This is like a second Poison Nova, buy this if u need to counter carries and chase enemies.
+ Sange and Yasha: Buy this ONLY if u buy Sange mid game, gives additional Armor, AS and MS.
+ Crimson Guard: Buy this ONLY if u buy Vanguard mid game, gives Armor and bit of stats
+ Scythe of Vyse Eye of Skadi: need to focus down and enemy? Get this! ( Eye of Skadi is for semi-carry veno)
+ Necronomicon: Adds pushing power, mana burn and RIKI SPOTTER 3.0.

GOOD LUCK!!!

First Blood-ing

Remember: Practice, practice and practice. U don't want to miss Venomous Gale and waste mana, it will leave you with no escape. After time, u can hit 2 with one use

Ok, here're the good partners for First Blood:
+
Veno and Jugg combo, famous around the world of DOTA. He also has healing Wards to recover from ganks, erasing the needs for Tranquil Boot.
+
Tusk's snowball works with EVERY HERO, u can roll with him to catch up the prey, use Venomous Gale to slow them and... First Blood!
+
Smoke bomb slows the enemies inside, and your Venomous Gale slows them even more, panic foes will put their back at Riki's slashing range.
+Any Stunner or Burst.

Easy Prey:
+
She has ABSOLUTELY no escape but the ****ty blink that depends on allies, her evasion doesn't work with Magical DMG as well, good candidate.
+
Drow can be killed easily, because she only has a SILENCE to escape, work with Riki is the easiest way to take her down.
+
Sniper just got nerfed, and he doesn't mini stun anymore, can be killed easily.

Hard Target:
+
They blink, that's all.
+
She blows the horn to mock your Venomous Gale's DMG
+
Speed Boost!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bye Veno!
+
They have free BKB at level 1, nuff said
+Stunners

End

That is it for my guide, hope u guys will have positive ideas on how to improve the guide. But, for now, bye bye!
