How to counter Ghost Scepter?

[Darth Mothius]

I played Phantom Assassin and they all picked ghost and kited me hard. Seriously, Diffusal Blade is out of the picture. How to counter it? Must I pick a Necronomicon on PA for the purge? Or must I carry HotD all game for that 1500 gold item? In game i keep searching for new item for purge and got none. What should I do?

So, no counter?

Nullifier is an extremely strong item.

As a PA...you don't. Your character gimmick is that you do a lot of right click physical damage.

Get a dagon. GS takes 40% more magical damage.
If you play someone like Lina, then even better.

Nullifier is a right-click carry item, just saying.

if im not mistaken nullifier disable

For skills like decrepify or ghost shroud, get bloodthorn. For ghost staff, get nullifier. Simple right

Nullifier purges it now. Diffusal not anymore.

You'd have to either bum rush it and risk not being able to do anything with your crits around mid game, or get it in the late game. Ghost Scepter/ Ethereal isn't that common of a buy, not to say that Nullifier is a bad buy in general, but in this situation they probably didn't even have them until like thirty minutes. Can't say I've played extensively with it yet, but going out of your way 4800 instead of buying something with more direct damage with someone who's main gimmick is "I see you, I dagger you, I TP to you, you die" doesn't seem right to me.
