Aquila vs phase/treads in General Discussion
cat1

    I am a bit confused about this thing.
    So as tb should you build treads 1st? I am aware that aquila makes your mana almost infinite but i feel like with treads switching you can spam conjure image without losing your mana(ofc with clarity too)
    Should phase be build 1st intead of aquila as jugg too? I dont feel the necessary of aquila when you get ahead of laning phase(mid) and you can just get clarity and farm faster with phase?
    Also troll luna

      U dont buy aquila for mana regen u buy it for cheap stats, dmg, armor, etc. m regen is nice but tbh a naked sages mask gives more regen than aquila

      Shou

        Jugg likes fast phase for use with bladefury and tb cuz it gives a lot of dps, treads on tb give more dps than lance. Im pretty sure a hero like luna doesnt need treads and is better off with faster aquila. This seems very hero dependent

            Aquila for TB. Watched a replay from Purge mention that it is very essential for early tower pushing with mana regen and extra armor for creeps and conjure pushing.

              I cant tell you 1 thing...Luna needs lane regen first, she can get spammed quickly and can't trade unless a support helps her (depends on the lane too)
              Jugg needs the Phase boots first cause allows him faster and easier farm, speed for auto attack and the proc of the early crit and also speed for bladefury.
              I fuckin suck at tb and troll so i prefer someone else tell you about him :p

                Treads for heroes that spam abilities like void, slark, antimage etc...
                Phase for heroes that rely on ms to escape or catch enemy like sniper, lifestealer, juggernaut.
                Aquila for mana and damage, give it to heroes that dont have hp problems jungling like tb, slark, faceless void.

                Just pick wa eva...it all works.

                Usually power treads are the best because of the toggling potential

                  Well, you get cheap stats for your illu and +0.65 mana regen, I don't think Tread switch is going to save much mana as Aquila regens for you, and having both Treads and Aquila won't hurt. I thought TB is great pusher too, isn't Aquila more valuable then? Same for Luna

                  You can skip it on Troll, I'm not sure why, usually one Arcane Boots can fill 70% of your mana pool and he's a distinctive pusher

                  evy

                    I buy treads first on TB because my team keeps fihgting for courier and i dont want any delay haHAA

                    cat1

                      So aquila gives a better farm potential as tb than a mere treads or is it just for pushing?
                      Before hotd was nerf i skip aquila on jugg luna and tb but i dont even know that hotd is even good for carry anymore.
                      30attack speed for illu is also very good actually

                      CUTNPASTE

                        Tb get treads fast for dps. Jugg get phase first to chase/fight. Luna get basi->treads->aquila.

                          Say if i play jugg and i cant kill the offlaner should i get aquila 1st?

                              Will you fight first 10min? Yes phase no aquila
                              Also aquila give more farm than phase as jugg coz he can go ancient and spin in jungle

                                      you go boots to wraith band for the stats, then go to treads, and then aquila. This is the usual go to build unless otherwise specified or unless the situation calls for a different direction of item build.

                                      For jugg, aquila is pretty alright as the stats it gives makes him a little more tanky. But if you're far ahead, a simple raindrop would suffice for the tankability.

                                        I used to play 8-10games on weekend(parents out). My routine was
                                        Wake up
                                        Play 1game of dota
                                        Normal early routine
                                        Play 3game of dota(i had a 10min of relax in each game)
                                        Eat
                                        Play again till night
                                        I would still study or do other thing to contain my saneness xd

                                          Last time I went tryhard on gaming I had insane nosebleed and big metabolism fuckups
                                          I went home at 4pm and stayed infront of PC until 5am, slept for an hour, went to school, took permission to go home at 9am for health problems, and played again
                                          Yes I was and probably still is retarded
