There is a softcap on attack speed, but I forget what it is...maybe %100? Most characters wont hit it, though, without major item investment. But yes...Naix's IAS will stack with hyper/treads/etc.

Movement speed from items doesnt stack. Hero abilities will stack with it, though.

Orbs as a general rule dont stack. However, weapons that have a proc orb effect (read: not always on) will stack with eachother as far as I can tell. When in doubt, dont get 2 orbs.

I know there's an innate movement cap (522 i think?) but how bout attack? I got Naix in an -AR yesterday and wasn't sure if his 40% IAS from skills stacked with, say, a Hyperstone or Power Treads.

Movement speed enhancing items and abilities will stack to the best of my knowledge. The items however in some cases do not stack.

These items do not stack with each other or themselves
Boots of Speed - 500 Gold - 50 Speed
Power Treads - 1530 Gold (boots of speed+gloves of haste) - 60 Speed (+30% attack speed)
Boots of Travel - 2700 Gold (boots of speed+recepie) - 90 Speed (teleport to friendly units)

These items do not stack with themselves, but will stack with each other + the first list
Sange - 2050 Gold (boots of elvenskin+blade of alacrity+recepie) - 5% movespeed 5% attack speed, 16 agi
Sange & Yasha - 5100 Gold (sange+yasha+recepie) - 10% movespeed, 10% attack speed, 16 agi, 16 str, 10% maim(chance on hit to reduce movement speed) orb

^ good database if you want to read over it, also lists total costs for items

On ranged heroes however, you can get both skadi and lifeleech going on at once - big coding missfuck somewhere.

[Modo Icecrown]

Not all of em, just most.

[Jabberwhacky]

Good info, thanks fellas. Next question is are there any UI mods for WC3? I would kill to be able to get rid of the vast majority of the UI, and have the ability to zoom out further, and keep key bindings uniform across all heroes (IE each of the 4 possible ability buttons has a set key regardless of whether you're casting fissurE or buRning arrow).

[Cybsled]

Bliz pretty much frowns on any 3rd party programs for WC3, so naturally there isnt much beyond hacks.

Zoom out, etc can be done but as far as I know it has to be coded into the map.

[Guild Lackey]

2 years ago when I was in TDA i had the same key bindings for all heros because I always play random when not testing. I can't remember how I did it though. As far as changing the UI, etc. You would need to do some sort of hack to do it as the WC3 UI is not customizeable.

By the by, anyone play on the asia server from these boards? I hate how the Malaysians always add liau, la, and siar to the end of sentences. Like, "My teams all noob la" and "care mid liau"

[Jabberwhacky]

haha i don't play on those servers now, but back when I played EQ on the Nameless there was a whole wave of ending sentences with "la" or "cccc" or "~~", came from one of those crasian races.

I guess I'll have to look into hacking the UI. Would messing with it be considered a no no for competitive play? I'm not actually in that league, I'm just curious. I often have a lot of trouble selecting individual units cuz of that damn 3/4 perspective.

[Cedil]

Yea I'm a pretty nuts DOTA player... I'm not overly into public games though.

Any of you guys vouched for IHL games ?

[Modo Icecrown]

IHL scares the shit out of me

I thought I was pretty good until I played against a few people who have IHL access. It's a very humbleing experience.

[Meatpatty]

Looking to play some games, Whoopda and Reetpatty both up for some. Msg in game!

[Darus Grey]

Finally got a 3rd copy of the game and been picking up DoTa again.

I'm "Darusgrey" on East, Always up for some games.

[eXarc]

Add me up please, just got internet back and steady. Been playing DoTA for ~3 years now.

eXarc is my IG name. thx.

[eXarc]

eh..please?

[The Dauntless One]

can you add thedauntlessone, bloodytrailz, tponcho and doberman175?

they are my friends and we usually make public games... but we never choose heroes when we all play together because we can basically steamroll 99% of pub games... but when we random, we get either get steam rolled because we have retarded teammates that dont use disables and slows, or we all play and we random 0 disablers

we are all pretty decent but sometimes we have our slopes
