Echo Sabre and who to buy it for

[ThunderWarrior]

What are the good choices for getting this item because as I initially thought it doesn't fuction exactly like weavers passive. I thought wraith king is kinda good for it as well as pa. Maybe void. Any more suggestions?

Slardar, Void, Lifestealer, anything with a crit.

hits hard but in truth probably better off buying something else more cost efficient

Why lifestealer though? None ever builds a daedalus on him plus he already gains enough speed w/ his q. Many people build a lot of a/s items.

I've heard that its decent for Slark and PA, though honestly I think any melee-carry who needs more mana wouldn't be a bad choice.

I tried it out last night on WK and it was fantastic, other heroes seem like more of a toss-up. I don't think it's necessarily a bad choice for CK early on, but it doesn't proc with illusions, so there's that. It might be decent on heroes who like to spam abilities, such as Abbadon or Undying. Legion Commander would probably also be a good choice, and maybe Slardar for those blink-ganks.

I did yesterday on slark and i did snowball pretty hard after echo sabre get somewhere 15 to 25 aggy, i imagine that on space cow be worth while to get echo sabre.

It doesn't work on ranged units.

Shall we go through the whole list and just discuss each hero? Any feel free to jump in and tell me where my thinking goes wrong.


INTELLIGENCE
Ogre Magic- not a carry
Dark Seer- not a carry, though I think I've seen people occasionally build him as one

AGILITY
Probably not the best choice for most of them, but could be decent for heroes who need to kill people quickly, like Slark, PA, Nyx or Void. It doesn't work on Illusions but will it work with Meepo's clones? (I need to test that)

STRENGTH
Earthshaker- if it applied Earth Totem to both hits, maybe, but I don't think it does
Sven- maybe, cause it can make him double-cleave
Tiny- most people stack attack speed to get around his slow rate anyway, but maybe it could be a viable choice instead of rushing moonshard
Kunkka- I can't see much natural synergy, since it doesn't cause stuff to proc twice
Beastmaster- I don't play him enough to know what he needs
DK- not a good idea since he spends half his time as ranged
Clockwerk- again, maybe a so-so item choice
Omni- not a carry
Alchemist- already has really high attack speed, probably not the best choice
Brewmaster- I have no idea- does it work with his spirits?
Treant- not a carry, though I think carry-treant would be hilarious
Centaur- maybe decent, but he doesn't really need the mana
Timbersaw- probably not the best choice
Bristleback- maybe decent if you're not going pure tank
Tusk- again probably no natural synergy
Elder Titan- could be good with his damage buff
Legion- probably a very good choice for winning duels
Earth Spirit- not a carry
Axe- seems kinda "meh" IMO
Pudge- probably only if you are really really farmed
Sand King- again, probably not the best choice
Slardar- could be good for blinking in and massacring people.
Tide- not a carry
Wraith King- oh yeah, between the mana regan and tankiness, probably a core item now
Lifestealer- again, probably a "meh" pick
Nightstalker- could be good if you need help spamming your abilities
Doom- maybe? I don't play Doom much
Spirit Breaker- seems like it could be good for ganking
Lycan- maybe a decent item, but are there better choices?
CK- the mana regen is good but it doesn't proc with illusions
Undying- could be a good pick since he likes to spam abilities
Magnus- I don't know, seems kinda meh
Abbadon- potentially a good choice

Totem and walrus punch don't work w/ sabre so no no and no.
