Author's notes

Credit: Hoot dwifta appox. Tips: *Drifter has a lot of health regen, don't be afraid to trade aggressively in lane. *Mystic/Greater Expansion makes landing the melee portion of Rend much more reliable. *Healbane stacks with Stalker's Mark for huge antihealing; applies on alch fire + scourge. *Bloodscent also amplifies the damage of Stalker, Spirit Snatch, Alch Fire, and Scourge.
