DOTA 6.62 MAP

--Dota 6.62 - Dota-Allstars 6.62 Map Download, Changelog News and Update. Dota 6.61 map gives a lot of balance and some cosmetics changes. Now, what will happen to Dota 6.62? Is IceFrog gonna make another hero remake like Dota-Allstars 6.61?Update 15 July 2009
The next few versions will most likely be focused primarily on balance tweaks, 1.24 compatibility and overall performance improvement. I am looking for some thoughts on what major changes, additions or direction you'd like to see after all that stuff is done.IceFrog is writing on PlayDota that next few version (including Dota 6.62) will focused on compatibility issues with the new Warcraft Patch. Karune (Blizzard admin) said it will be Warcraft 1.23b Patch while IceFrog said the next patch is Warcraft 1.24 Patch. Either way, prepare for a new patch guys ;) This post will be the place for updating information regarding Dota 6.62. If you have any information about Dota-Allstars 6.62 or even Dota 6.62 Beta, feel free to drop it here ;) Any IceFrog updates about Dota 6.62 also will be placed here. Until then, share your wish about Dota 6.62 ;)

BATRIDER GUIDE and STRATEGY--DOTA 6.61

-Batrider Guide and Strategy. Jin'zakk the Batrider is one of the new hero that added on Dota 6.60 along with Tauren Chieftain, not forgetting Razor remake. In this post i will give you some peek about Batrider skills and ability along with the guide. This guide is still on proggress, so any feedback or suggestion from you is really helpfull :)

Base StatsStrength: 23 + 2.5Agility: 15 + 1.5Intelligence: 24 + 2.5

Attack Range: 375

Movement Speed: 290

Cast Point 0.3

Attack Point 0.5

Hero Class: Intelligence

SKILLS:

Sticky Napalm

Targets an area and drenches it in oil. Slows the movement speed and turn rate of units in that area. Extra casts of this on the same targets stacks.Any fire damage from batrider will ignite the napalm, dealing damage for each stack.Fire damage is any regular batrider attack, flamebreak or firefly

Flamebreak

Hurls a highly explosive cocktail of dangerous chemicals at the target position. Upon impacting with an enemy the missile explodes, dealing damage and knocking all nearby foes away from the impact. Any unit who has been Napalmed will take additional damage from the blast.Knocks back all units in the explosion area proportionally to how far they were from the center

Firefly

Flies high leaving a burning trail behind. Enemies who dare follow will get burned by the fiery napalm. Nothing can take the skies from him.Trees in your path are killed by the fire.Gives you flying pathing

Flaming Lasso (Ultimate)

Snags a target with a constricting lasso, allowing the Batrider to drag them behind him as he moves.Does not drag units over cliffs or impassable terrain.If you TP or blink away or get ported away, the lasso breaks.

CORE ITEMS:

BRACERS,Phase BOOts, Force Staff,Void Stone

-This items build is for maxing your potential as a ganker. Phaseboot combined with Firefly is a great choice to chase the enemies while slowing them with Sticky Napalm. Bracers to add some HP and Void Stone will cover your mana regen. Force Staff is used to help catch the enemies. Flaming Lasso has short range cast. With Force Staff you can push enemies heroes to your range (need great timing) or push yourself to them (easier, but more risky as you're the one who come to them). Why not Dagger? I prefer Force Staff because it adds more Intelligence and relatively same purpose with dagger. Force Staff also add damage and attack speed which you're lack of.

LUXURIES:

Guinsoo,Bloodstone, Shiva's Guard

-Get Guinsoo for additional disable, great for ganking. Bloodstone also gives you health and mana, let you spam your skills on team battles. Shiva's Guard for additional AoE attack.

OTHER ITEMS:

Lothar's Edge, Keren's Dagger of Escape

-Lothar is actually not a bad item for him. Windwalk and immediately pulling one heroes into your team is sure a good idea. The drawback is that it easily counterable with Dust/Gem.Dagger is also viable for Batrider. Blink into your enemy and capture it. But i prefer Force Staff to help land his ulti though.This guide is still improving and need some feedback. But what about you? Have different idea or skillsets? Share it here ;)
