With the recent change in her ult, I’m confused in when is the best time to buy aghs on her. Do you buy it as a 4th, 6th or wait until aghanim buff ?

    Ask yourself “do I need any other items to be able to fight the entire enemy team at once?” if the answer to that is no, aghs is a good pickup, which shows the issue with it. Its just not enough impact to want to build over a core item like manta, not enough bulk to replace heart or skadi, no disable to help when you can actually hit someone with a haunt, no disable to replace skadi or basher, and almost no straight up damage to replace butterfly. As a spectre you don’t farm fast without kills, so you need to prioritize items that help killing a target and surviving after.

    Old aghs when it was shadow step had a much more reasonable question to ask which was just “am I strong enough to want to be able to haunt to fights more often?” which needed a lot less to want.

    Tldr, I want them to move the shadow step shadow dagger back to aghs. Something like “Grants haunt AND whenever a haunt illusion appears, a shadow dagger is cast on its target” would give the item a lot of use. Also it sounds cool as fuck for it to hit the entire team, would give the item much more reason to be bought.
