7.21c (Core) Purge's Guide to Zeus
By pudge
"Zeus is a high damage hero who deals entirely spell damage to kill enemies. He has a mix of normal range and global abilities that give you a strong presence throughout the game.

He can be played in the mid lane or in offlane and requires a little farm to become effective since he has large mana costs and can't easily defend himself.

Soul ring could solve his mana problems

On force staff, you spelt "grab" as "grabe".

seeing as this hero runs out of mana quite quickly, crystal maiden would be a very good hero to have on your team due to the increased mana CM provides

You have to consider the mana cost on refresher's guys. Aghs gives zeus 165 extra damage (475 to 640) at the same mana cost (450) while refresher's gives you 475 extra damage (475 damage for a whopping 375 mana (total of 825). Not to mention you won't be able to use it every 90 if you need it because of the 160 seconds cooldown.

Aghs also gives you +10 intel and +150 mana straight up, which allows you to get the refresher's and use it effectively (or as effective as refresher's gets on a damage ult) after you have aghs.

@Night, I feel that Chain lightning isn't all that much of a waste, due to it being a cheap ability that does the following A) Allows you to push B) Proc your Static Field C) Get rid of those pesky Linkens. More Q casts means more Static Procs means more overall damage. Even if Q doesnt make Static more effective, the less HP they have the less your Static is effectively and the better flat damage is.

I kind of like the build like most of Purges, but I really find it doubtful to put more than 1 point into Q. It scales horribly, not even double the dmg on lvl 4 compared to lvl 1, no CD increase, but more mana costs... I'm pretty sure I read a guide from some one on Zeus in Dota1 once, not sure if it was Merlini? He rather skilled attributes and left chain lightning on 1 till the end. Less mana costs, and more attributes, equals more HP and survivability, and more mana, with less costs = more chain lightnings / other spells. I really feel more than 1 point into Q is wasted.

i usually prefer refresher over aghanims, then you do 400+400 instead of 640
