Dota Strategy Guide/ Hero Guide: Ish~kafel - Dark Seer

Dota Strategy Guide/ Hero Guide: Ish~kafel - Dark Seer.Thought by some to be among the most cunning and manipulative among the Scourge's varied champions, the dark seer Ish'kafel, living in exile from his people, is also the most secretive, for he speaks to no one but the Lich King himself. His unconventional talents, which lie in augmenting himself and allies with a variety of both defensive and offensive supportive castings, are quite unusual and versatile, often capable of turning the tide of battle before it even starts.

Explanation
Why maxed out first Ion Shell?
Because its the key of winning. You can farm greatly and kill heroes. If you farm great then you will own early. This skill is best against melee heWhy maxed out second the vacuum
Just like in Ion Shell need to own early. And you can use it in stealing kill. ^^

Why only lvl 1 Surge?
Because its the same speed if you learn the Surge. And you need Ion Shell and Vacuum to kill heroes and own early.

Why Wall of Replica learn in mid game?
Because in early game the damage of the heroes is still low and it has a high mana cost.

Item Build

Starting Items

1. Circlet of Nobility
2. Gauntlets
3. Tango 4x

then build:

1. Bracer
2. Boots of Speed
3. Vanguard
4. Radiance
5. Oblivion Staff
6. BKB (optional)

if the game continues build any of those:

1. Skadi
2. Tarasque
3. Guinsoo

Why?
Bracer - to have a extra life and stats
Vanguard - to minimize the damage of the heroes and creeps. If you put Ion Shell on yourself what will you do? of course you will stick to the target. How if they attack you? thats why that I think that vanguard and Ion Shell is compatible.
Radiance - Ion Shell + Radiance = 105 damage / second
Oblivion Staff - to have a mana regen and to spam skills. Why not Eul's? Because the Euls cost 2800 while the Oblivion staff 1950. You can buy Euls after you have build Radiance. Then Guinsoo.
BKB - against nukers
Boots of Speed - you don't need extra ms because the surge it gives you maximum speed.
