Hello Dotanoobs, my name is Jav and I joined you guys cos due to commitments and uni I don't get as much time as I'd like to be super awesome at Dota 2 so I feel comfortable being able to know people who I can team up with who will be at the same skill level as me. Any Australians on here?

Dotacinema brought me here too, haha.

I don't know if the answer to this was in FAQ but with the Mumble, is it a free download or do I have to pay for it?

Ahh awesome. I will add you and send a message some time. Know any other aussies on here?

I look at a lot of online guides and also watch videos with Alan, Dotacinema and Purge and all offer different choices and have different justifications for them. I know it's a little bit dependent on how you play the character, but what do you reckon works best for him? Power Treads, Arcane Boots or Phase Boots?

Don't the Tranquil Boots break upon 3 instances of damage though?

What's funny is after I wrote that reply I went on Dota 2 wiki and read the item description carefully saying 'breaks for 10 seconds' and was like (face palm). I tried those boots out in a prac game and yes, I was able to stay out jungling longer, gain levels faster (as well as gold) and then jump into lanes with Culling Blade on fleeing enemies. YOU GET NOTHING! GOOD DAY, SIR!

But mana is an issue, what jbrown says is a good idea but that kind of cooperation with pubs is rare. Especially when you can't communicate to them.

Thank you all for the input!

So you're Australian are you? Awesome to hear.
