Uh, so is this a general DotA topic or only imba DotA one?
I hope it is the general topic. I'd like to give the normal DotA some love.
Here's the trick me and my friend performed today: pick a Huskar and a Shadow Demon. Huskar gets Aghanim's Scepter (but after he gets the usual Helm of the Dominator + Power Treads + Armlet of Mordiggian). Shadow Demon gets Ethereal Blade (I only bought boots before it because I am bad at farming as Shadow Demon and no additional gear can help me).
Level 4 Soul Catcher on an enemy followed by Ethereal Blade.
Now use Life Break on it.
...
IT'S A
ONE
HIT
KO!!Only if the enemy has no additional magic resistance.It's impractical, but glorious. You should try it if you have a friend who plays DotA. Life Break on an enemy targeted by Soul Catcher and Ethereal Blade takes at least 100% of the target's current HP in magical damage after the 25% magic damage resistance that all heroes have.
In other words, it instantly kills anyone if they do not have additional resistance. A hero with 6 Hearts of Tarrasque and 8000 HP goes down in one hit. That's pretty scary.
Yes, it can be countered with Planeswalker's Cloak. It is still horrifying to see someone's health instantly drop from full to only about 15%.
