The Butterfly Thread!
I remember when I just started playing I would get Butterfly like ALL the time on agil heroes, nowadays I get mjollnir/mkb instead. What do you think are excellent situations to get a Butterfly and why? (as in a core build item, not when you've farmed like sick and grab the butterfly as a nice extra).
Last time I can remember buying a Butterfly would be with Luna after my Satanic.

Nah evasion doesn't stak at all. Butterfly doesn't stack with pa evasion etc! On a hero like void butterfly is a perfect choice since it stacks really good with voids backtrack! I usually get butterfly on carry heroes when they allrdy have pretty much hp and ur facing other dmg dealers.

( yeah evasion doesn't stack with others %dodge ) the same for the bash, you won't won heavy % of bash if you make a basher on a void or on a slardar but you will won the whole % if you make it on a barathrum cause his 3st skill is considered as physical dmg and not bash

Stacking Evasion
* Pure Evasion abilities do not stack. The actual chance is decided by the biggest percentage of all the Evasion abilities you have.
* Evastion stacks with other types of Dodge. For the specific formula, see Dodge.
I am sorry, didnt read the whole thing. :) Backtrack is a dodge, and not evasion. My bad ,loda :)

Yeah, agree with Loda. The evasion is really good when you have something else that also stacks with it, i.e. void's skill.
Some people get butterfly on Spectre, which could be good, but you should think of her disperse skill. If you take damage with spectre it is a chanse that it gets dispersed = your enemies will take damage. Getting a heart instead making you tank more damage could deal more damage with disperse than the attackspeed and damage coming from butterfly.
Though if the opposite teams heroes are very weak, butterfly might instead be a perfect choise if you dont get focused that much :) But mostly I would say that HP is better than butterfly on spectre. (This got all focused on spectre, but nvm ^^)

actually i use butterfly only on agi heroes, that have some kind of proc ability (e.g. stun, slow, extra dmg etc). the most other carry heroes don't get that much benefit from it, if you would get another damage item for the same amount of money.
