This Build makes Sticthes a hard to kill crowd-controller.At level 1 you are taking either Dampen Magic against ability damage teams or hungry for more in maps like Braxis Holdout where regen globe quests are easier to complete.Amplified healing at 4 makes your devour stronger and all healing in general which adds up on your survivability.At 7 you take either Tendarizer if you need CC or savor the flavor if you need tankiness.At 10 you should always get putrid bile no matter the build because unlike gorge it gives you the ability to secure more than 1 kill and it is very useful for teamfight damage,escape,lockdown and doesn't require your forts to finish the job!I don't even know a reason to take gorge right now.At 13 you want maga slash mainly to combo with your 16, but against CC heavy teams you can take Flea Bag.At 16 you should only really consider pulverize especially if you have mega smash.The only other thing you may take is fishing hook in specific maps like towers of doom where you can take someone in the death zone from further away.Shish Kabob is more of a downgrade because it makes your team unsure on who to focus and it may bring you in an 1v2situation which is something you can't handle.StoneSkin isn't essential your survivability is fine without it so taking it is overkill.At 20 just take regenerative bilewhich takes everything putrid bile was already good at and makes it even better.Hardened shield is overkill similarly to stoneskin, but bolt of the storm can be useful in certain cases especially if you got gorge for some reason which if you did the upgrade is bassically a deathwish so don't take it.

This is the damage build that focuses on slam.With this build you can easily top both hero and siege damage.Bassically take toxic gas at 7 all talents with the slam icon and both upgrades of putrid bile and you are ready to go in and eat breakfast lunch and dinner all at once.The build also has 2 variations.The first takes hungry for more or dampen magic over heavy slam if you need some more tankiness and the second takes tendarizer over toxic gas in case the team lacks on CC.Note that both variations will roughly lower your damage by 100 per slam at level 20, so you don't give up much when using them over pure damage.

This build balances damage and tankiness by letting you spam devour.This build is very strong against summoners with squishy summons like Anub'arak and it is also very strong on maps like infernal shrines where teamfights are likely to take place on an objective filled with creep.At 1 you take chew your food which will synergize with yuor other talents nicely letting you heal much more.At 4 you take restorative fumes which will keep you topped of in teamfights where you will constantly vile gas heroes.At 7 you take last bite which lowrs devour cooldown massively if you kill the target soon after devouring them.the fact that it works on non-heroes makes it very strong and brutal if you are team-fighting near squishly targets allowing you to be at full health nearly all the time.at 10 putrid bile of course.At 13 is the biggest power-spike of the build where you take indigestion.The retchlings that you summon apply vile gas with their attacks so they increase both your damage and self-healing due to your level 4.Also last bite lets you spam retchlings in the fight.At 16 take pulverize because it is the bst and at 20 regenerative bile because it is again the best.
