Do NOT buy left to right, buy according to your situation in the game. You can start mid game with Toxic or Tank + Snatch, doesnt matter. What you SHOULD buy earlier as possible is Spirit Burn. Then build around it and buy the rest later. -----> -Toxic + Quicksilver + SB -Tank + Snach + Duration and Mystic Vuln. + SB In late game both ways will combine into 1 solid build. Dont be scared of Dispel, bait it out with Toxic or 2.
