Force staff on non-intelligence carrys in General Discussion
Rain

    Is it viable to rush force staff on non-intelligence carrys who are both mana-starved and benefit from positioning items?

    Case in point; Doom, Slark, Juggernaut, Tiny, etc.

    For example, Slark would benefit from force staff because;

    less mana problems with soul ring + force staff
    great combo of escape into fog with pounce + force staff, once ur in fog u can run away
    similarly, better chasing mechanism

    Rushing RoA, scepter and force staff would completely solve Juggers mana problems

    etc etc

        dagger is in every case of those heroes u mentioned better
        force staff has like 500 range while dagger has 1200 (dont quote me on numbers)
        if u want to initiate from fog u need a dagger to close the gap, force staff just doesnt get the job done (assuming that its your only positioning item)
        slark has no mana problems if u can treadswap at all

          it used to be nice on wk when you had attack speed and dmg from it. nowdays dagger way better coz it costs no mana.
