Hi, this is a very good guide. Still has some 6.84 references and probably old meta rationalizations but in general seems like a solid way to start on this Chuck Norris guy.

I never played this guy before until I was "forced" on a captain's mode and it was a stomp. I guess I will play it more.

A pretty late response I suppose :P, but what is your opinion on Soul Ring jungling Omni? It can help speed up your farm a lil bit, tho it doesn't really build into anything particularly useful.

Oooh, very well. I suppose I can go into the theory-craft behind the two carry builds. I'll respond to it here in the comments, then add this to the Discussion section in the next update.

MOMniknight:

This build capitalizes on two things about : 1), his ability to grant himself total immunity to everything with a / combo, and 2) the ridiculous slow that is . By using your ultimate and , you can activate and gain all the benefits with none of the downsides, making this a risk-free (ish) way of increasing your DPS.

The other items, , , , are for slowing an enemy down to the point where they have ZERO chance of running away from you whatsoever, especially since the maims from SE and S&Y DO stack. is for lots of damage and stunning through magic immunity, and is for more attack speed and that sweet armor degen to help you hit harder. The proper build-up for those last two items is probably closer to --> --> , but since I'm not recommending you do this ANYWAY... do whatever you want!

Slow and Painful Carry:

This build focuses less on chasing and DPS and more on tanking and just living long enough to whittle everyone down. is already a pretty tanky hero, and these items help him become even more-so. The is how you'll be doing most of your early game damage, and it's your primary farming tool. It even gives your enemies a miss chance while attack you, to help you live longer. Heart, , and Skadi are for tanking you up and slowing your enemies down so they can't run, and is for the cooldown reduction on , , and . You'l also spell-steal off of your damage, which is a nice added bonus, though it's not as powerful a heal as it might sound.

Anyways, hope something in this guide works for you! I think it's fairly obvious I'm suggesting the 3/4 role as the build you should try, but if you wanna go carry-Ommni, go for it. I'd do it with friends, though, so that they're more understanding if things go sour.

Oh and, just for the heck of it, here: Safe-lane farming, carry Omniknight.

Thank you very much i can't really give a rating yet because i have to try this and i can't really play dota 2 on weekdays (it's a rule in our house) maybe next week

Great guide (do I really need to say that?).

Yeah, I think > . Because you can heal the HP loss anyway.

Maximum points for style Cyn, love your writing.

Few admin points though:

- Yes can be very handy - it's especially good for boosting your farm, and well worth considering over RoB.

- I don't particularly like running with a hard carry like AM. It's actually a pretty sucky lane as you're extremely reliant on your #5 to be zoning, you probably can't get any kills, and your mid is going to be very lonely.

- I'd suggest running him with more aggressive heroes like , CK, etc, or heroes with good lane presence who don't really need much from your bar the occasional heal or save - like for instance.

- Those crunchy gankers like el o and are awesome team mates - they jump on people, you heal them, stuff dies. They can be super aggressive with on.

- Skill build is a little flexible early - you might even first point or in certain situations. I'd actually recommend this on the whole, and go points 2+3 into - it's pretty sucky before level 2. W-Q-Q is probably most legit, but E-Q-Q can be good too if you're going for kills.

I opened Dotafire on a sad day. And then I saw a new Safecyn guide.
And suddenly I felt a smile on my face

@pory: NUH. DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

@Blubbles: Added another section to the alies part about heroes who need to channel ultimates. Should've done that to begin with.

@Unscathed: Good question! It is a pretty good item on and can really come in handy if you need a sudden burst of mana, but I've found that lately I haven't... needed it, y'know? Getting Arcanes, Basilius, AND is, in my opinion, going a little overboard on the mana-regeneration side of things, and when I compare Basilius and SR, one builds into a potential and the other builds into . And I'm not really a fan of on , I think it's kind of a waste of gold. Maybe that's just me.

It is probably worthy of a mention though, for sure. I'll slot it in there somewhere, and I think I'll post this comment/response as the first 'Discussion' section entry. Shouldn't leave it out just because I don't personally build it.
