I had to chose Malth in a recent brawl,
first ever time i played that hero, loved him,
I went this (much of it would seem wrong to pros, but i had to choose talents after quickly reading abt them, and i had no clue abt anything abt malth tht time)
1 = death’s Reach (bcoz it let me jump n finish off, and well honestly, i liked this title the most out of the other 2 talents )
4 = Black Harvest (i thought more longer reaper marks mean i can do more Q Q n heal, in brawl its all abt sustain i believe)
7 = Massacre (more reaper marks, more healing )
10 = Last Rites (i read in forums tht TS is useless, even though i felt it would b better, but than i went with wht i had read in forums mostly)
13 = Soul Siphon (more healing )
16 = Soul Collector (to spam Qs, but i started running out of mana really fast)
20 = Angel of Death ,
And i know its pathetic build, but i never imagined i will enjoy sooo much with this guy, even i knew nothing abt playing him,
but i giv it to my tank, he was gud,
I plan to play Malth too, im thinking to start some bruisers,
Already im trying out Artanis, thanks to HOKU who helped a lot to point out things tht i just overlooked.
But, heres wht i have in mind, Please feel free to criticize, im here to learn
1 = Fear the Reaper (escape after initiation = OrangeJuice strategy)
2 =Black Harvest (Longer marks)
7 = Massacre (more reaper marks)
10 = Last Rites / Torment Souls
13 = Shroud wisdom (armour)
16 = IF TS than Mortality / If LR than Memento
20 = No one can Stop death
on 16th, I wanted some expert advise,
Im in bronze, people dont play tooo well, and Last rites (=take away half of missing health = 34% of hero health damage) … means anyone at 33% 34% is killed. tht would work in bronze n silver.
But, if theres lot of shields or protection on invulnerable (i think uther invulnerable will make LR immuned right?)
So, If I go tormented souls, and take mortality… = my Wraith strike does 8% hero-health damage,
Torment soul says = when torment soul is CAST and when it ENDS = reset wraith strike cooldown
Now tell me this
if i hav TS (which i think is better than last rites in my case) I go this =
1 = E (to add reaper marks)
2 = W (to some guy who is lowest health even if hes at 80% health) my W drops him to 72%
3 = intantly after W i hit my R (reseting my W, i W again = health dropped to 66%)
4 = i keep doing Q Q n pop up armour
5 = when the TS ends, again W up hit W again another 8% down.
means, i can do W 3 times in 4 seconds, W R W (when R ends W again) = 8x3=24% health damage, with constant Reaper mark damage of 1.75% per second 1.75% x 5 seconds (4 seconds of TS and lets say i put my E on him a second before, 1.75 x 5 = 8.75 +24 = 33% damage and, as the last wraith strike has hit and applied reaper mark to tht hero which gonna persist for 6 seconds
= 1.75 x 6 = 10.5% = total single target damage of 43% health of hero none of my autoattacks r counted in this yet,
Also, it will allow me to spam more Q , as TS cost 20 mana only,
But, its a theory on paper, n thts why i wait answers from u all
This build can also work well in solo lane, as every 5 seconds u take away 8% health of your enemy solo laner with the W , u can put E, W on to him n then activate fear the reaper n come bak, just 8% damage done without major issue or threat to self.
