"TheKid belowMeIs an ass"...

    I feel like people just see "Upgradable by Aghs" and auto build for any hero that says that. Yes some are worth the 4200, but not dazzle. It is only a slight increase in armor and slight increase in radius.

    You should work more towards a more useful item like bloodstone, so you can just spam your skills and their low cool downs at later levels. I always see the scepter and think it is such a waste of gold compared to a bloodstone. Bloodstone is only 850 more. Plus it makes you harder to kill because you gain a bigger hp and mana pool.

      Bloodstone is actually much worse than scepter on Dazzle. Embrace the minus armor strategy, become it, buy aghs desolator AC and wreck faces.

        Bloodstone is shit, if you need the regen get sheepstick abd euls

                There is no way Aghs is more useful for dazzle than bloodstone. Your only job is to heal, grave, mek and armor. Nothing else. The more you can do those things the better you are as a support.

                  Ever heard about wards/mek/pipe/veil/hex/shivas/euls/forcestaff/ghostscepter/rod of atos even a vlads would be better than Aga AND Bloodstone. Normally you will end up with boots and some bracers.

                  Bloodstone on a pos 5 hero. You made my day.

                        it's not a question of whether bloodstone is better than aghs or not, it's that you've suggested bloodstone as something dazzle should buy. There are so many other items worth getting well before you even consider bloodstone. If you're gonna save up 5k gold to buy that (nearly impossible) why not just buy a sheep.

                          Idk if this guy is trolling or he's plain stupid.
                          Dazzle has a big enough mana pool to spam all his skills during a teamfight, he doesn't need the mana regen that badly. If you end up without mana after a teamfight just walk to the fountain, you're a freaking support, you don't really need to be in lane all the time getting xp.
                          While we might agree that aghs is not the best item on him, it's far better than a bloodstone. But far better than both would be a sheepstick or a shivas.

                            LOL bloodstone, that is just mana regen overkill, with 5k gold you can buy much more impactful items for your team as Dazzle, also it isn't just "a slight increase in armour", the increased in duration is a HUGE difference on its own

                                  Dazzle has enough what he needs just with arcanes to put heal, grave, weave, and slow every teamfight. If you want to add mana regen, buy euls. He doesnt need fucking bloodstone, niether drums. Jesus

                                        As far as I know, suicide through Shallow Grave is not possible since for it, you need to purge it first. Culling Blade is the only thing which can purge it.

                                        And Culling Blade doesn't work on allies.

                                          The last time i played dazzle i had only force and mek in a 50 min games

                                          Good luck getting that bloodstone

                                            Given only one choice, which would be better to build?
                                            1. Mana regen item like Eul's and spam heal
                                            2. Mek and not so much spamming heal

                                                Build Mek if there's no one else buying it, but skip it if possible. You don't need to give the enemy team even more reasons to focus you hard.

                                                  9v1 I think that Veil is going to be a poor choice on Dazzle a vast majority of the time. All of his spells do physical damage. Medallion of Courage however...

                                                    As a support you're not limited to build items that take advantage of your skill set. Veil is a decent pick up if your team has high magical damage even when you, Dazzle, don't (e.g. you're supporting a pos.1 Necro who already has mek). The stats that veil gives are similar to mek's and you won't get focused down as hard as if you were the only healer in the team (common thing when you play dazzle).
                                                    Of course there are much better items on him, we agree on that, but veil might be good on certain situations.

Just to let you know the armour difference is MASSIVE and I'm certain that scepter on Dazzle is much better than bloodstone because as mentioned before, Dazzle has already large enough mana pool to spam all abilities... However there are more useful items that team can benefit from such as mana boots and mek.

                                                            Support is supposed to support not carry.

I just dont get spending 4200 on scepter. I dont think Sheep is the smartest because Saving up 2100 for orb or 2700 for staff is kind of stupid to me. Id rather have the vitality and void over saving up 2100 for orb. It would be nice, but I am not going to try to save up over 2000 for that. Aghs is so useless 4200 for just .25 more armor reduction and a bigger radius. No increase in duration its still 24 seconds. Id love to sheep stick, but saving up that kind of money and having no increase in stats or regen during that saving time seems wasteful, especially if you dont pull off the 2700 save and 2100 save. The most you save for in Bloodstone is 1200, 1100, 875, 875, 1000.
