Justification / Modifications:
This build gives you slightly higher DPS and better harass than maxing Fireball first and getting Chaotic Flames at 6.
Lane Starting Items:
Runes of the Blight, Healing Potion, 2x Mana Potion, 2x Minor Totem, Guardian Ring
Solo Mid Starting Items:
Logger's Hatchet, Iron Buckler, Healing Potion
Core:
(Bottle >>) Logger's Hatchet >> Power Supply >> Ghost Marchers >> Storm Spirit
Get a Bottle Asap if you are mid, otherwise skip it. Ring of the Teacher can be completed at the outpost as an optional item if your laneparter also strongly benefits from it. Then get quick Ghost Marchers to be able to chase and escape.
Now you need one big mana reg item. After the recent patches Storm Spirit has become far superior to Nomes in almost any situation, so I suggest you get Storm Spirit. Nomes can be an alternative.
After Core:Sacrificial Stone >> Kuldra's Sheepstick >> Harkon's Blade >> Hellflower
These four items can be gotten in any order. If you plan to rush Hellflower you can cut the Nome's Wisdom/Storm Spirit as Hellflower provides enough mana regen on its own. I prefer to go the order listed here. Sac Stone make you able to actually initiate team fights and tank a lot of damage. Harkon's makes you a force to be reckoned even in late game, and you easily have the mana to support it.
Alternative Items include Behemoth's Heart and Frostfield Plate.
Information:
Roles: Supporter, Ganker, (Semi-Carry)
Properties: Roamer, Disabler, Nuker
Prefered Lane: Any (can solo mid)
Difficulty: 2 - Easy
Farming capabilities: 2 - Weak
Item dependancy: 2 - Low
Power:
- Early Game / Lane Control: 4 - Good (Stun and slow, but high cost and cooldown)
- Mid Game / Ganks: 4 - Good (Somewhat reliant on Multicast but still a great ganker)
- Late Game / Team Fights: 3 - Medium (More of a supporter with frenzy... and mushrooms!)
30-Seconds-Guide:- Gank a lot with Blacksmith, thats what he is best at!
- Try to use Flaming Hammer before you stun. This will reduce their Magic Armor and greatly increase the damage they take from Fireball. If you have Harkon's try to hit them once for an additional -5 Magic armor and insta-gib fireballs!
- Blacksmith does scale better into late game than almost any other int hero! This gives him a carry-like touch especially with Harkon's Blade and Frenzy.
- Keep Frenzy up on all relevant targets. The cooldown is only 5 seconds while the duration is 30.
- Looking for more hints? TOO BAD ITS ME BLACKSMITH!
Counters:
- Magic Amor. Shamans Headdress or even a Mystic vestments greatly reduces incoming damage.
- NullStone absorbs one spell, and thats pretty much what blacksmith is... one spell on a stick.
- Make sure you get some HP so he can't oneshot you.
