Brief explanation to skill builds:

1. Devour for easy farming during early stages, so that you can get your early items fast.
2. LVL Death early-mid games for killing heroes.
3. Scorched Earth is only taken in mid game because in early game, we don’t need the fast move speed for chasing to kill. We kill by using spells.
4. Doom is taken whenever it is available.


Why Devour ???

Devour is a vary good farming skill. It’s a skill that everyone should get it regardless of how good you are in farming, IMHO.
Let’s say you are very good at farming at is capable of getting all last hit on all creeps, it is still a very good skill to invest in. An average creep gives you 40 gold. An additional 40 gold on top of all the 4 creeps during early game is actually a 25% increase in gold collected. Anyway, it is just my humble opinion that it is a skill way to good to be neglected. If you really feel that you don’t need it, it is still up to your personal preference. J Just some thing to take note, do not devour enemy creeps whenever you are planning to backstab. Enemy creep which is still being “digested” will give all the enemies true sight on your location.


Why LVL-Death???

LVL Death should be invested gradually together with the level growth of the opponent in your lane, thus, the reasoning of getting it at level 2/4/7/8. When Doom is at level 4, LVL Death will inflict extra damage on level 5 hero; At level 7, Doom will inflict extra damage to hero at level 8; at level 8, LVL Death will inflict extra damage on heroes at level 9. With this on mind, you should be always staying ahead of your opponent regardless of whichever situation. This is your signature skill to shine during early/mid game. There is no reason to pull back this skill to just at level 2 just because the maximum level for all heroes is level 25. What is 100+250 damage to heroes when they are at level 25? It will be just like a sniff on them.


Why no Scotched Earth in early games ???

We don’t need the moving speed in that early game. We aren’t inflicting damage thru our physical hit during this time. Furthermore, with Devour, you will be able to get your Ring Of Health around …. Say level 3, or the worse, level 5. Don’t forget that you still have a sapphire flask that you’ve brought with you before you leave your lane? That should be able to last you until you get your ring under any circumstances.



C. Item Build

Recommended Item Build:

Starting items:
1 sapphire water + 2 clarity potion

1. Ring Of Health + Void Stone
2. Power Treads
3. Orge Axe / Belt / Mitril / Claymore
4. Demon Edge + Quarter Staff
5. Start Combining Item(MKB / Sange)
6. Reaver + Vitality
7. Heart of Tarrasque
9. Heart of Tarrasque


Brief explanation to item builds:

1. Start off with a Saphirre + 2 clarity. Saphirre for unforeseen situation, and clarity so that you can devour and have enough mana for kills early.
2. Orge Axe / Belt / Mitril / Claymore are gotten in any order base on your own judgement on the situation. Do not combine those items, yet. Just get them.
3. MKB because your spells alone at this stage can no longer kill heroes. You need to rely on your physical damage.
4. Heart for helping in tanking.



D1. Skill Analysis


1. How to use Devour
Whenever a creep wave arrives, just devour one of the melee creep, as it gives more gold compared to the range creep.
Just keep in mind that, when you are planning to backstab/ambush, do not devour enemy creeps, as devour will reveal your location to the enemies.


2. How to use LVL Death
a. This is the skill that let you kill heroes during early/mid stage. Using this skill requires a little bit of your planning as well as timing.

b. If you play well, you should be able to get kills by only using this skill during early/mid game. A spell that deals 250+250 damage isn’t some joke.


3. How to use Scotched Earth

When you have level 4 of this skill, just use it whenever you are in a battle, and whenever the cooldown is down.

More details on how to use it from [http://www.dotaportal.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7877]


4. Doom

a. Use it as a finisher during early / mid games.

b. During team clashes in mid/later stage, do not use it as a finisher. Instead, you should use it to silence spell caster from the opposite team so as to wear down their team disabling power. Examples of heroes that you should be targeting are lion/rhasta/Death Prophet/etc.



D2. Walkthrough by game stages:

D2a. Early game:


Pick a side lane. If you can have a solo, it would be best. But if you couldn’t you can still live with it.

At level 4, you should have already got your LVL Death 2nd level. Wait patiently for your opponent to reach his level 5. Once he is at level 5, immediately cast LVL Death on him. Just do it once enough.

Keep leveling up. Just right before you were to reach your level 6, consume your clarity potion.

Once you hit level 6, if the enemy still lingers around, immediately cast DOOM, then LVL Death. This should pocket you a kill.

If you are not confident in the above mention method, you may want to cast twice LVL Death when the enemy is at his level 5, and then cast DOOM as your finisher when you reach your level 6.


D2b. Mid game:


Once you have your perseverance, you should be able to semi-spam your LVL-Death. This is the stage where you shine most. A nuke with 500 damage is really painful.

You should plan well ahead for your mana usage. If you see a hero which matches the level with your LVL Death spell, you should be running towards him. Normally, a LVL Death + DOOM would be suffice for most agility/intelligent heroes.

Carry clarity potions with you at all times so that when the opportunity arises, you will be able to take it (have efficient mana for a LVL-Death + DOOM)

Once you have your Scotched Earth level 4 together with your Battle Fury, there is no need for you to spam Devour any longer. You should be conserving your mana for Scotched Earth + Doom + LVL Death in team clashes.


D2c. Late game:


Your role right now is to tank for your team. You should be able to do the job well with your great strength stats growth coupled with your Hearts. Just silence the disabler from the opposite team, cast Scotched Earth in front of you, and march in. The rest should be handled by your team mates.



E. Conclusion


Doom Bringer is a fun hero to use. With good farming skills to get great items, and wonderful nuke that does insane damage, everyone will be able to enjoy playing him with a little bit of practice, and timing too.

Comments and feedback are most welcome.

Lol. Lvl? Death should be kept on lvl 1 on begin,because when u get on lvl 6 (same as ur enemy on lane) u'll deal more dmg with it than having it on lvl 2. Combo Doom+Lvl? Death on a low hp target is a 100% kill.
Also Armored Cuirass is a good choice 4 Luci,cos he got a bad agi income and high dmg.

I dont really agree with this build..
I have to agree more with soldier..
I play doom alot.. and I never do devour.. I do lvl death as fast as possible to max and also doom.. and for the rest I do as much as possible in stats... since stats really pwns
also... I would do some other items.. but that also really depends on your enemies...
