Problem: I need both boots??

[Say]

Sorry in advance, I'm still a noob at this game.

I main support and I like to play both Abaddon and Phoenix. Both of their healing abilities require them to sacrifice a good chunk of health.

The problem is, whenever I play them I end up needing both Arcane boots and Tranquil boots. However, if I buy both, my teammates start yelling at me and getting angry.

I try to only buy one pair of boots so I don't get on anyones nerves but whenever I buy JUST Tranquil boots, I end up running out of mana very quickly. In addition my mana pool is so small without mana boots that I can't even cast my ultimate without having 75% mana.

Whenever I buy JUST Arcane boots, I end up being so low on health that I can't cast my abilities anymore.

I wish I could have both boots at the same time without people being mad at me. How do I solve this problem? Also before you even mention it, I know Phoenix can rebirth and Abaddon can heal himself with his ult, but they both have pretty long cooldowns and it leaves me with very little options outside of them.

There are cheap items that give you good regen, urn of shadows and soul ring are common items. Tranquils and soul ring is a good combination withsoul ring replacing arcanes in this example, add a magic wand and you should be set for mana/hp regen.

You could always build Mekasm into Guardian greaves for both Mana and HP

[dango]

arcane boots can disassemble then craft tranq + lotus orb or bot + lotus orb assuming it was late game


but its better if you use greaves

Abaddon doesn't really have that issue.
1) cast shield of yourself
2) cast the heal on ally
3) shield absorbs the damage

Phoenix uses tranquils, urn and ulti to replenish himself.

Shielding yourself then healing would spend a ton of mana. Almost 200

what you are doing is you are trying to self sustain but you forget all about the rest that you have a team that sooner or later will have to joing them in the fights all heroes have weaknesses trying to cover them is pointless so a wiser idea would be to avoid fallin into such problems... see what im talking about? focus on one of the 2 boots then go for other items that give similar things you want .. les just say.. a crimson guard will help in sustainning damage and will also help your team by a very very high degre also you could use a soul Ring wich will give you enough mana for a time of need

All players below 3500 mmr fail to adapt under certain circumstances thats why they cant climb the ladder

Mana Abaddon

soul ring is a great item to get with tran boots
you can get urn for hp if you went arcane

[Duchess Minty]

As the first poster said, get Tranquils and Soul Ring. If you absolutely need Arcanes, get mek and go Greaves. Also don't forget that Raindrops are a cheap way of increasing your mana regen by a little and also blocks some magic damage. Also you could always grab an Aether Lens for health regen.

drums of endurance itself gives mana regen.

if got too many magic damage type in the opposite team, get pipe of insight is a very good choice as well.

That's not really thing you should farm at early game

a lot of herous have this issue. solve is easy af: buy boots which u need on lane(usualy tranquil) then just boost up ur mana pool with another item, like... lotus orb. why not? its great item to save ur teammates. or may be rod of atos - catch enemys on dive.

[Dohong]

get tranquil + soul ring, if those 2 are not enough, get a couple of mana potions, if still not enough, you are probably spamming too much
