Holy crap, I cannot multiply apparently. Sorry nightshark, and sorry Mrs. Jurgeleit, my 3rd grade teacher.

Shaco, don't forget, your first swing is essentially instantaneous. So you have a 50/50 chance of hitting and disrupting the spell, if you get there in time. It's your second swing for which the timer becomes an issue.

yes, i see. the second swing with a short spear comes one tenth of a second slower for me than someone with 20 more dex.

i am curious though, while in combat, how could you tell me apart from a 7x dexer ? what would he be using instead of magery/eval?

Depends on the skills he chose. I personally decided to go with this.

I originally had 100 tracking so that even hidden farmers couldn't escape by staying hidden, but after a while I decided that magery for gheals was especially useful and would make me pretty much invincible.

You can re-poison your weapon on the fly.

Unlimited deadly poison on the field instead of basic charges from an alternate character poisoning once.

Once someone starts fighting back (or multiple people) and you start losing you are basically dead unless you rely on invis/teleport/MR items. The magery thing will be almost worthless vs a dexer without wrestle except for the initial loading of a spell. This makes you basically a crappy dexer in that situation. Any tank mage will be able to heal through your spells easily and then fight you as if you were a dexer without any mana, and the low dex won't help in that case.

If you absolutely want to have some crazy hybrid thing like this, I would recommend playing a full dexer with magery, the recall/teleport/G-heal/Cure utility can really come in handy. Alternatively, I always liked that one guy who used to play in the tournaments and did really well. Pimpalot? He was some sort of Mage-tank mage, only he had a bit more dex than the typical tank.

Yeah, that's the guy. I didn't realize he even had healing :lol: I guess he's more of a dexer.
