Key strategic elements to consider when playing Venomancer:

Hit opponents regularly to apply ticking damage from Poison Sting.
Galed opponents can be denied, so do your best to secure a last hit on a dying hero.
Deny low health Plague Wards to deprive opponents of extra gold.
Venomancer is great at defending towers as you can place a bunch of Plague Wards around it.
Use Plague Wards off cd when you are moving around to scout, control runes and block camps.
Farm aggressively, as Plague Wards provide vision and farm dangerous spots for you along with gale and sting.
In fights, look to affect as many heroes as possible with Venomous Gale.
When not much is happening, push out the side lanes with Venomous Gale and Plague Wards.
Pick up Aghanim`s Scepter in the mid to late game to significantly increase your damage through right clicks and Plague Wards.
Noxious Plague will snowball a teamfight in your favour if you can burst down the first hero affected by it.
