How I decide
«Linken should stop an important button, not the first cheap one.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- The enemy begins a kill with a targeted ability, but can break Spellblock first.
- 02 My decision
- I watch for interrupts and keep away from unnecessary targeted casts before the main entry.
- 03 What I avoid
- See an active orb and forget it can be removed with a cheap ability.
When I would buy it
After core items, or earlier against a critical targeted threat.
