Dust isn't as much of a problem in the early game, the sentries shut you down because you can get harrassed out of lane easily, while dust only will really only help if they can nuke you down low enough during the duration, which dosn't occur as much during the laning stage.

You speak like there are no braindead idiots in this game's community. Lmao.

is a good pick up, but it really depends on the lane you're against to: if you expect harass and sentries then you should definitely get it, otherwise you're good without it.
Also you might consider adding sentry wards to counter ward or block the pull.

Need for slow early levels. Also helps for last hitting in the hardlane which is where gondar should be played. Also for this reason you NEED a --> to reduce harass. Gondar is very squishy so is core. As Gondar is a ganker/utility rather than a true carry you are much better off getting mid game efficient items such as and before . I'd only go for a desolator if I get several kills early game as it lets you snowball massively.

Agree with the first comment regarding and , you're better off getting a and as Gondar is not the sort of hero who can man fight an equally farmed carry in lategame.

I agree with what bastardodentro said, yet I love picking up a basher on gondar since I find it very useful for ganking. I almost always buy and and play a bounty hunter a la . My core usually consists of some cheap cost-efficient items like (I always get this item) and, as mentioned before, .
I prefer medallion over deso for one reason: medallion is cheaper because after getting the 2 items I start ganking right away.

Other than that i really loved the guide, You explained the gameplay of bounty hunter in a very clear way, but you aren't playing a suicide lane gondar, right? cus if you are then the points in are mandatory.

Anw this is more of a midgame carry and not really a ganking (at least that's what i think)

The guide is well written and looks really good with all the images but there are a couple of things I personaly don't like.
â�¢ skill build is kinda meh: there is no point in maxing first since you cannot sustain the mana cost and it scales poorly past level 2. I would get 2 points in , 2 points in and max jinada first getting ulti when possible. is a must if you plan to gank, and you do, cause the slow will help so much and getting it only at level 7 might be a problem.
â�¢ the item build: gondar is not a right clicker, you are not supposed to attack fast, you are a burst damage hero that farms a lot thanks to its ultimate and gets supportive items for the team. In some cases if you are overfed you can carry the team, but it is not your primary objective, that's why i disagree with butterfly and basher. I personally get , drums of endurance and then I opt for vladimir's offering if there is a melee carry in team, otherwise i get a situational item like , sheepstick, etc. There is no nor in the situational items and that's really bad. You might even decide to get bottle if you roam or a fast vlads if your team has a good pushing lineup. Also your starting items are wrong: if you really want to pick up basilius get ring of protection first so you can add a salve and complete the item at the side shop.

Personally, after trying a lot of times, I prefered the basher and the butterfly.
Talking about the medallion and the bkb, damn you're right. I completely forgot them! I have to update this guide immediately.
I'll also change the starting items as you said, it's a good idea.
