First build on here... This build I have refined after hundreds of battles, and I find this to be the best. You start off with movement speed and get transendance to help your mana out and also add physical. You get hastened fatails, you can now chase the enemy and not loose any of your movement speed. With golden bow you will clear creeps and hurt enemy gods with one arrow along with providing you with crit chance among other things. Deathbribger really tightens your end game and gives you an extra 20% on top of the 10% from golden bow, after that you have the malice and that's an extra 20%. So 50% chance of hitting a crit that by level 20 does 900+ a shot, your jump excape, incredible movement speed, and no loss of movement speed while attacking. Push lanes, solo, gank, hard defense, jungleing, you pick it, this loadout will make your job easier. Excellent for 2 ****ting hunters, mages, and assasins alike and doing crazy damage to wariors and guardians that will make them think twice about dancing with you.

Here is a little of me using this build. I love it.

Well, I have used this build on one of my recent games, and All i can say is you wont see extreme crits till you activate Deathbringer. I would suggest other perks such as Titans Bane instead of Golden Bow

This build has no penetration, you'll be doing nothing to tanks. With the recent nerf to golden bow I'd suggest replacing it with titans bane or brawlers beat stick.

This is a very nice Build and alot of damage does come from it especially chasing down the weaker gods that run away trying to lick their woulds not realizing that they have a Hunter chasing them.

I'd trade it for the mark also lol

you have 6 points in divebomb lol
