General DiscussionDiffusal Blade in pro scene

its a fuckton of damage and utility

makes sd illusions a lot stronger

for slark its just some good damage and purge some other buffs like + armor or something. also slow for easy kills.

one of the best agility items for its cost and the slow and ability to purge enemy buffs is useful.
Things like Sven's Armour, Ice armour, Living armour, Bloodlust, Ion Shell and Warlocks Heal are all purgable.

Here is a list of buffs which can be removed with a Normal Dispel (Which is what Diffusal Purge does): http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Dispel/Removable_buffs

I use it mainly for euls and ghost scepters and for bitches good at running

cost-benefit is great i know.. also i didnt think in SD illu.. in the game with the luna, she naturaly have manta, and shadow demon was also present in the team...
and.. i tried purgue war cry (sven) and ice armor (lich) with diff but i couldnt..
@TheMaverick427 ty for the list.

in the game with luna, also a drow build it.. the enemy team was alche-luna-shadow demon-sand king... i cant remember the last one.. people (spectators) commend about a useless buy.. she change diff for maelstron few minutes later..

purging someone in euls doesnt cancel the euls, you need a DISPEL (wind panda)

^ it does

diffusals purge euls
you are welcome

i swear i just tried this a month ago and had to look at the guy swirling in the air

@JDF8 @TripleSteal- i also tried purge euls and didnt work..

^u gotta click the hero flying not the ground area i guess.

dmg, armor, as . Lets u purge bloodlust and other shit. To sum up, cheap dmg and very useful active

remember pros value items differently too, they love utility items more than your average pubber ie diffusal on carries. How many times have you seen pubs build blink + force staff anything besides pudge?

oh my god
no offense guys but u r not very good at the game

trying to apply an active target ability to something that doesnt even have a hitbox FeelsBadMan
thats not how it works

@Dire Wolf pub always copy pro players, even the brainless things.. however, blink + force is normal in heroes like magnus, sand king, although id never watch it in pudge
@TripleSteal- when u are playing u have thing more important to care about than a hit box.. i mean, u see the tornado and u click the closest posible, if dont work u dont try again, at least IMO

i never understood why can u purge euls with diffusal
as if it wasn't enough that u are purging an invulnerable unit, diffusal is also the only purge that can do it, not sd ulti nor satyrs purge does that
makes absolutely no sense to me

OK i figured out the interation

if it's an ally euls, you cannot purge it off

if it's an enemy euls, you can

WOOOOO thats fucking stupid

clearly i know to click on the person rotating in the air, how dumb do you think i am honestly

There's much you have to learn young jd.

Diffusal blade is useful for almost all AGI heroes maybe except for drow, AM and viper

"and.. i tried purgue war cry (sven) and ice armor (lich) with diff but i couldnt.. "
try again

Diffusal is also good IMO for the purge on borrowed time Kappa.... Wait a second

People underestimate the amount od DMG you deal with diffusal.

I did it aswell. It's a great item.
