Dota 2 - Dazzle Build Guide
0
BIO
Each young acolyte to the Dezun order must complete a series of rites before becoming a shadow priest. The final rite, the rite of shades, is a harrowing spiritual journey through the Nothl Realm, an unpredictable domain from which not all visitants return. Of those who do, some return mad. Others return with strange aptitudes. But all who go there are changed by their experiences. Driven by the need for enlightenment, Dazzle was the youngest of his tribe ever to request the sacred ritual. At first the order refused him, saying he was too young. But Dazzle was not to be dissuaded. Sensing something special in the headstrong young acolyte, the elders relented. Dazzle drank down the sacred potion and sat by the fire while the rest of his tribe danced through the night. In this ethereal dimension of the Nothl Realm, the properties of light and dark are inverted. Thus his brilliant healing light, beautiful to our eye, is actually a sinister kind of evil; and the darkest deeds are done in a dazzling glow. The elders' intuition was prophetic: Dazzle returned to his people as a Shadow Priest like none seen before, with the power to heal as well as to destroy. Now he uses his gift to cut down his enemies and mend his friends.
INTRODUCTION
Zzzzaaaappp! that is the sound you would hear when you play this hero!
Dazzle is a kind of hero that is specialized in healing his friends and keep his friends alive. His abilitites are all designed to do just that.

ROLE
STATS
ABILITIES
1. Poison Touch
Casts a poisonous spell on an enemy unit, causing damage and slowness over time, and eventual paralysis. Poison Touch mini-stuns on impact. At level 2, the slow increases after 1 second, and at levels 3 and 4, the target is stunned for 1 second after the slow.
One of the few Dezun rites used for offensive purposes, the paralytic enchantment often proves useful.
This skill is needed to initiate a gank. This skill will makes your opponent to slow down and receive some damage. Although this is not a superior skill, but it's still good to at least help chasing and also harassing the enemy.
2. Shallow Grave
An ally blessed with Shallow Grave, no matter how close to death, cannot die while under its protection.
Only a seasoned acolyte of the Shadow can properly perform the rite of preventing death.
This skill is a very powerful skill that will makes your ally immune to death for 5 seconds. While receiving this buff, even in 0 HP enemy can't do anything to kill the target. What you need to do is: immediately cast this if you see your allies are in low Hp and you feel that he will be death soon.
3. Shadow Wave
Shadow Wave heals several allies, which in turn cause damage equal to their healing in a small area around them. Dazzle is always healed by Shadow Wave, and it does not count toward the number of targets.
While it is a simplistic and routine rite among Shadow Priests, the Shadow Wave is also the most critical for success.
A healing Wave that deals some allies in the area and also damaging nearby opponents. Needed to keep your teammates alive during a teamfight.
4. Weave
Applies a buff that increases allied hero armor or decreases enemy hero armor in the target area, changing armor by 1 every second. Upgradable by Aghanim's Scepter.
His ethereal journey into the Nothl realm has allowed Dazzle to mend together the powers of light and dark, creating shifting waves of enchantments.
Increase armor of allies and also reducing enemy's armor in the area. The increase/decrease of armor is not at once but gradually.

Why take Shallow Grave for level 1? Eventually, enemy want's to get firstblood on level1, so if you meet one of those who wants to gwt that firstblood, you should immediately cast this to you or your allies to save him.
Why maxed Shadow Wave first? This is your main healing skill and also a nuke. you will need this for saving your allies and also for harassing enemy on early-mid game
Why maxed Poison Touch before Shallow Grave? im my opinion, a level 1 Shallow Grave is enough for early-mid game, a 60 seconds cooldown is enough so you can cast this everytime you see a red-Hp-ed ally. Or you may increase this to level 2 if you feel need more cast on this skill. Meanwhile, the Poison Touch is important for your team to slow down and also to set up a nice gank. You will need the DPS from the Poison Touch.

On early game, what you need to do is to support your partner in lane by help him denying the creeps and also try your best to keep him alive by casting the Shadow Wave and also the Shallow Grave if something dangerous happening to your ally or yourself.

Dota 2 - Venomancer Build Guide
0
BIO
In the Acid Jungles of Jidi Isle, poison runs in the veins and bubbles in the guts of every creature that scuttles, climbs or swoops between fluorescent vines dripping with caustic sap. Yet even in this toxic menagerie, Venomancer is acknowledged as the most venomous. Ages ago, an Herbalist named Lesale crossed the Bay of Fradj by coracle, searching for potent essences that might be extracted from bark and root, and found instead a nightmare transformation. Two leagues into Jidi's jungle, Lesale encountered a reptile camouflaged as an epiphyte, which stung him as he mistakenly plucked it. In desperation, he used his partial knowledge of the jungle's herbal bounty, mixing the venom of the (swiftly throttled) reptile with the nectar of an armored orchid, to compound an antidote. In the moments before a black paralysis claimed him completely, he injected himself by orchid-thorn, and instantly fell into a coma. Seventeen years later, something stirred in the spot where he had fallen, throwing off the years' accumulation of humus: Venomancer. Lesale the Herbalist no longer-but Lesale the Deathbringer. His mind was all but erased, and his flesh had been consumed and replaced by a new type of matter-one fusing the venom of the reptile with the poisonous integument of the orchid. Jidi's Acid Jungles knew a new master, one before whom even the most vicious predators soon learned to bow or burrow for their lives. The lurid isle proved too confining, and some human hunger deep in the heart of the Venomancer drove Lesale out in search of new poisons-and new deaths to bring.
INTRODUCTION
Venomancer is Poison. He is a hero that uses poison in many ways. His normal attack is a poison. He have a slower-ganking skill taht is a poison. And his ultimate: is the strongest poison in DotA, if the enemies doesn't have a -spell damage. This skill will reduece this HP to almost death, but unfortunately, this skill cannot kills enemies, it jusr leave the enemy with 1 HP. And his other skill, is summoning a small ward, but can't summon many wards and it will become strong because of it's large number. Usually, people pick this hero to become a support-warder because he doesn't need lots of farm to become strong. Venomancer, the most deadly poison caster in DotA.
ROLE
STATS

Launches a ball of venom in a line, poisoning enemy units so that they take both initial damage and damage over time, as well as suffering slowed movement. Venomous Gale deals damage every 3 seconds over its duration.
A concoction of various stings, poisons, and toxins gathered from the jungles of Jidi Isle, victims surviving it are rare.
This is your main skill for slowing and harassing your enemy on early-mid game. 50% slow is the best early game lvl.1 slow on this game. With this skill, stealing firstblood is quite easy for your team, all you need to do is casting this skill on a target and harass him until he death. He cannot run because the slow movement speed is sjust too much for a hero to handle.
Not just the best slow on early game, this skill also does a decent damage for early game harassment. So, firstblood hunter is your job because of this skill.
You become a strong laner because of this skill, because if the enemy is struck with this skill, he should run or he will feel your harassment.
2. Poison Sting

The paralytic sting of the creature which caused his transformation now belongs to the Venomancer.

3. Plague Ward
Summons a plague ward to attack enemy units and structures. The ward is immune to magic.
A mixture of his old herbalist talents and newfound toxic mastery creates a living embodiment of plague.
Summon ward that will attack the enemy. You can call 1 ward every 5 seconds. You must accumulate the wards to become useful. You need to call many wards to deal lots of damage to your opponent.
This ward is very effective for pushing or counter-pushing. Tower will be destroyed quickly using this ward. Creeps wave will be destroyed quickly using this ward.
4. Poison Nova
A spreading ring of poison that does damage over time to enemy units around Venomancer. Poison Nova's effect cannot bring units below 1 HP. Upgradable by Aghanim's Scepter.
In the Acid Jungles, creatures releasing noxious poison to their attackers is common; Venomancer spreads this plague beyond the Jidi Isle.
This is one of the scariest AoE skill in DotA. Every hero that struck with this skill, will receive lots of damage per second until their Hp becomes very low. But unfortunately, this skill cannot kill a hero, this skill will leave the hero with 1 HP and will stop dealing damages. The damage is so high so everyone should run after get exposed by the poison except they have magic immunity or have Pipe's shield, or high magic resist.
You can gank with just 2-3 heroes and win against 5 heroes if this skill can deal maximum damage to all enemy.

Or to escape if enemy wants to get firstblood by killing you, you should slowing them so they can't attack you.
Why maxed Venomous Gale first? This is your main nuke, you will need this for ganking, farming, and killing or early mid-game.
Why maxed Poison Sting before Plague Ward? Because this is a full harassing build, you need Poison Sting better than Plague Ward because the poison from your attack is essential to give poison while you attacks the enemy. So max Poison Sting before Plague Ward for maximum harassment.

Why maxed Venomous Gale before Poison Sting? The rule of DotA: Nukes for early game, physical damage for late game. Venomous Gale is a nuke that will deal more damage on early-mid game. And Poison Sting is for physical attacks that will be the main source of damages for mid-late game.

In desperation, he used his partial knowledge of the jungle's herbal bounty, mixing the venom of the (swiftly throttled) reptile with the nectar of an armored orchid, to compound an antidote. In the moments before a black paralysis claimed him completely, he injected himself by orchid-thorn, and instantly fell into a coma. Seventeen years later, something stirred in the spot where he had fallen, throwing off the years' accumulation of humus: Venomancer. Lesale the Herbalist no longer-but Lesale the Deathbringer. His mind was all but erased, and his flesh had been consumed and replaced by a new type of matter-one fusing the venom of the reptile with the poisonous integument of the orchid. Jidi's Acid Jungles knew a new master, one before whom even the most vicious predators soon learned to bow or burrow for their lives. The lurid isle proved too confining, and some human hunger deep in the heart of the Venomancer drove Lesale out in search of new poisons-and new deaths to bring.

STRATEGY
Early Game
Venomancer have the best slower in this game on level 1. You need to use this advantage into maximum potential.
Since the game start, be aggressive by hunting firstblood and harass your enemy to the max. While your enemy is knocked with your 50% move-slow, you and your friends can easily harass the target and get firstblood.
1. If you choose the push-counterpush build, you need to max the Wards first. Ward is not so powerful if alone, so you need to stack the wards until it will surround the area and become the strong tools to deal damage to the area.
Pushing towers will be easy with your wards. And also don't forget about the defensive power of your wards, it can make your enemy to retreat and cancel their push.
2. If you choose the full-harassing build, your enemy will be so annoyed of you. They will have a hard time in last hitting/denying because you will always can harass them until low HP, or get kills if you're lucky.
You can last hits the creeps but this is not your priority because you don't need much farm to be strong, your skill alone is enough to fight your enemy.
Usually your team decide you to be the support for the team, so you may need to buy some wards, courier, or Smoke for the team.
Mid Game
Mid game is the time for ganking-party and early-pushing. Usually, the ganker from each team will roam around the map try to help other lane and get early kills. Ganker like Lion or you are the horoes who should do this job. What you need to to is finding easy lane with a delicious enemy to start with. Coordinate the gank with your partner and make sure your team gets the early kills you need. Your main skill is Venomous Gale, if this skill successfully hit the target, your team can easily harass and get kills. So first you need to master the using of this skill.

What you need to do is to come nearer your opponent and make sure it will hits your target. Once it hits the target, your move will be easy. You and your friends can then harass your target easily.
Here on mid game, you should already have Poison Nova. This is your main skill. This is one of the biggest skill damage on this game.

If you are the support of your team, remember to always buy the wards and place it in a strategiuc location to see enemy's movement.
Late Game
