lycan's item builds + power spike in General Discussion
Seven-

    is the old treads vlads necrobook bkb/ac/deso build still the go to or do i fit a midas/hotd somewhere in there?

    also how long am i supposed to farm? when is my first power spike where i can actually push towers ultra-safe? i think it's after i get my first aegis pre-20 mins, but do i have a power spike earlier than that?

      No need to get Midas IMO.

      Headress > PT > Dominator > Armlet > Necrobook > AC > Desolator/BKB/Abyssal (depending on the enemy)
      If you want to get a heavy push build, you can skip Armlet and can aim 2 late game items. But Armlet has a great synergy with the new passive. If Armlet on DK is legit due to passive +12 hp regen, Armlet on Lycan also is legit. Provides +77 damage, +25 attack speed and +9 armor to Lycan when activated. Great value item.
      New Dominator makes up for lost attack speed on his passive and if you can dominate an Alpha Wolf, you'll have better damage compared to Vlads. But the downside is, in a teamfight landing a crit with ulti won't provide a massive HP boost. Still, I think Dominator > Vlads currently.

      As for talent build; lvl10 +20 damage / lvl15 +12 str / lvl20 15% cd reduction (15% evasion is also good but if go for Necrobook, it's no brainer IMO) / lvl25 +15s Shapeshift duration

        that sounds feasible enough

        is there a scenario where i can fit both HOTD and vlads in 1 game? theyre not UAMs anyway and they stack, like probably replace armlet with one of them or something?

          Agree with rushing hotd. I am not a great player but spamming Lycan lately when possible. Getting it around 7:30 or so which allows me to turn over a couple medium camps and if i see the alpha wolf, i leave him until i have hotd. Ive been starting to push around lv 10 with hotd, quelling, stout and brown boots with a dominated wolf on a 4-1-4-1 build. The towers melt away.

          Not been building vlads but after either BoTs or AC, then Basher and BKB.

            I think armlet is good, but especially with the lower BAT on wolves i think necrobook rush is legit. Plus ac now gives more aura as too. My build would be Headress > boots > HotD > raindrop > necrobook > ac > abyssal/bkb/deso/maybe even bloodthorn
