Impressive guide.

I just picked up , but I am having great fun with him.
I have mostly used a build just like your "Lightcord AOE build", but with at 13. It is awesome burst, when you get 140% and hit 2 or 3 people with the bonuses from at 4 and at 7. And with the at 1 and at 16 you never get low on health or mana.

Thumbs up. :)

Thank you for comment, glad you enjoyed guide! :)

and don't synergy well, usually is good for better aoe. But in my opinion, if you're already in the middle of teamfight, is super risky, don't work well when your team dies rarely (i.e. 3-15 kills in your favor for example), and you are keeping distance more often than trying to fight (saving and as disengage only against those who is trying to dive. Yes, I'm talking about oriented builds.

But these hybrid builds (such as Lightcord build) are for some medium-range poke before doing allin dive, and for often hitting with W-Q combo, meaning that we're always close to enemy heroes.

In lightcord build is just as another talent for allin, in heat of battle you won't cast it often.

can be good only if you're playing SUPER carefully, safe and accurately and you are sure, that + + + will annihilate enemy team and you won't die while executing these combos.

It is very risky, and I think that Pure Malice is for those who are aware of how Alarak plays and just feel him and his playstyle. is safer damage increase at that tier yet less than Pure Malice, but guaranteed.

But I agree that is very good talent, it can boost your aoe damage up to 1000+, if Sadism isn't reduced.

Yeah I agree completely with you. What I meant is at 1 and at 16. I just copied the wrong talent name. Sorry :). The 2 don't really have synergy, but keep my mana and health full, so they are ok individually. And honestly I only take , because I don't want the reduction of .
is kind of trap talent IMO. I never try to catch people in the arc, just target them directly from as far as possible. When I try to hit something behind them, usually I get out of position myself, due to the ability range.

I only take , because my playstyle is very safe and usually I manage to get killed 1 or 2 times tops, so my stays at 120 - 140%. Perhaps I play too safe and miss some opportunities though, but as I said I only just started playing .
Generally I just poke with and grab people with the combo, when they come too close to our team. Kind of bring them to us, instead of try to dive them.

I most often use on very short distances to finish off someone after a combo. And if I dive the whole enemy team with it, I attack with my ASAP and often just use to push myself back to my team.
