Talk:Slark

further tips
-skip vanguard its a bad item for slark. Ring of health becomes rather useless once slark is lvl 6. -shadow blade is a real bad choice. For a hero that has leap to initiate or escape plus invisibility via ultimate. -most often leap is enough to escape, costs less mana and has a lower cooldown than shadow dance. - leap over cliffs or into impassable woods, leap doesn´t destroy trees you pass through, which makes it hard to follow slark. - special mention: he is one of the few heroes who have 1800 night sight, whereas most other heroes have 800 sight range at night. At night, slark ganks easier or escapes much easier with a single leap.

-attacking the tank in a fight like axe is nonsense. slark doesnt steal agility faster from tanks, nor does he kill them faster. the time you spend hitting a tank, you could have spent in hitting some bigger threat. Slark is not Naix.

-vladimirs offering is usually a bad item.

-MOM and Mjollnir are taken for attack speed, you usually won´t have much time to build up your essence bonus, so attackspeed is needed.
