venomancer/lesale deathbringer

For those obsessed with death, poison is a necessary study. However, Lesale went a step too far. He experimented upon himself with various toxins and chemicals so that he could learn the secrets of death. These twisted his mind and mutated his body into a hideous creature which embodies an immense hatred for all things pure. He can strike enemies with a concentrated shot of poison or even spread a toxic gas throughout an entire area, severely weakening beast and human alike.


Venomancer was already an extremely good hero in 6.57 and older versions. But the new update in 6.58 made shadow strike an aoe move to shadow gale which i think is extremely unbalanced as it is almost 2x more effective than shadow strike. The main thing for veno is his ulti, poison nova. it hurts big time but problem is that you can't kill anyone with it. Will elaborate more later.

As I said, this is a hurting skill but unable to kill anyone, maximum getting the hp to 1. Best combo-ed with shadow gale, and continuous whacking to get best chance for kill. Affects wide area too.

Overall i think that venomancer is an extreme hero which can go for any builds including int, as aghanim will inprove its ulti EVEN FURTHER, making it close to a sure kill for veno.

Item Build: 1)Power treads 2)Vanguard/Lothar 3)Butterfly 4)Buriza/Aghanim 5)Heart 6)Buriza/Aghanim

chances are that you won't be able to farm that much, but good try!
