Can someone link me to a decent DARPA guide? Can't find one.

you get dps, and stay behind. Use ulti only as escape, and jungle if possible in the beginning. I dont think that there's any standard builds for darpa. Not that many people build it crit, but just watch some league games scores in division A, and you will know what's a good build for darpa.

With crit builds being all the rage it's acceptable now to go basically te same build nova would go. Hatchet - Machete - Culling - Barb - Axe into whatever. FoE is nice, cont shard/khali if you're rolling them over, galactic, explosive its all relative on the what the game needs.

 

As far as skill build goes I'm a little more shaky on considering the recent nerfs to his q but from what I gather get your q first, a utility point in e then max q and his passive with the ult in between and his silence last. I think if you want to tinker you can see what maxing his silence then q can do since the damage amp is nice and may be better than the little damage his q now does.

I would rush impact dial on him becuz his ulti is almost crap at lvl 1 and it will give him alot of utlilty and lockbox and taser will shutdown poeple hardcore oh talent build

 

0-0-6

 

grab transport and watev you want and rush to the enemy artifact as much as you can

 

EDIT: seriously i did 2 things here and the first one was lulz and the second was the best feeding build for shadow

You know if you actually manage to do even remotely well with harry's build it'll help alot I think. Very few people in pubs know how to use the utility items like impact and taser effectively so if you do this build and if you ever wanna ih it might help alot with the practice.

[TaxHaven]

You are all dicks.

 

Run 3.1.2 with vet

 

Hatchet

Machete

Stun knife

Pulsehammer

Pyre

Contam

Timesplitter

FoE

Shadowmourne

Galactic

 

Buy str and agi pots during the game whenever you have spare 500 minerals

[HarryHootie]

dude... its actually a viable start his ulti sucks arse at lvl 1 and you need to kill stuff and int will help with your energy pool

OK, I have a replay of a game where I played Darpa and so did one of the guys on the other team.

By the end of the game (which we lost miserably) he had 500+ dmg and 0.45 w.speed, while I had 200dmg and 0.5 speed.

 

Looking at his item I do not see any specific "superdamage" items, no khali or anything like that.

 

I see, Magnum, lethal barb, SHinobi Naruds eye and some smaller stuff.

 

I had Shinobi, Ravager and some smaller stuff, my next buy list was planned to be path to Khali

but my main Q is, where did he get so much weapon damage from?

 

Of course I asked him/the winning team as well but got a lot of typical AoS BS and BM instead.

I do not need to be told that creep gives money - that goes without saying as well as other obvious shap.

I ask a simple thing, how his list of items could give him THAT much weapon damage?

 

PS I would add the replay here but I am not sure ho to do this.

[HarryHootie]

did he get an energy saber?

[Overkill]

Did he have Hurty by any chance?

[TaxHaven]

Yo

Magnum shinobi lethal eye would still give you retardedly op damage.

 

Easiest way is to go to single player and test in tm.

 

My build is still viable by the way, gives you like 450+ damage at 0.45

[Hunter]

did he get an energy saber?

I think he did. Anyway I can add a replay here?

 

The strange this is that when I go all 3 weapon damage items (i.e. Khali, Ravager, Shinobi) I get to somewhere near 450 wd. He had only shinobi and lower tier damage items, and yet he got all the way to 500 and top speed. So strange (now it's no the talend, I have that too).

[MrGrim]

For replays you can use http://drop.sc

[ProfessorInfestor]

Perhaps he had Daggoth buff?

[Jaysi]

Raynor aura, CoA buff etc.

 

To expand on MrGrim, you just upload to that site and then post the link here.

[Hunter]

Now, there wasn't any Raynor around and I don't think there was any CoAcarrier either. ANyhow, here's the replay http://drop.sc/381584

You can skip right to the last 2 minutes to see what I am talking about. That guy was Protoss Darpa (good) I was Zerg (bad) Darpa.

[Darkr]

Possibilities: Ravager, CoA, Raynor, Draggoth, Energy Saber, Hurty, Galacti.

Tell me if any are right.

[Hunter]

A general Q about this hero.

Suppose I already got to 0.55-0.45weapon speed, which path is a better one to get more DPS, critical or weapon damage?

 

What I see is almost everyone going agi-dps buy a lot of crit items, on the other hand Derpa's cyanide clip benefits from weapon damage.
