Witch Doctor is one of the most evergreen Dota 2 Position 5 Supports in the game because of his strong early-game nuking damage and capitalization on harassment while also offering late-game Carry Potential with his Pure Damage Death Ward ability that can destroy entire teams when purchased with Aghanim's Scepter. The scary part about Witch Doctor is trying to make sure you can actually channel the whole time of your Death Ward ability as you very susceptible to being targeted down and it is why we often recommend Glimmer Cape and Aghanim's Shard on him. From one of the greatest supports, Insania, to heralds, this Witch Doctor guide serves as a baseline to better understand how to build WD and how to the hero too.

very good guide, thank you.
few personal tips -
1st - u can skip arcanes to get early urn which will help with mana regen and the combo of maledict + urn damage is deadly.
I choose to go urn build when i know there are strength healing heroes like necro/lifestealer/bristle, later on i can get vessel which helps my survivability and hurts the enemy strength cores.
blood grenade + urn + maledict is unsurvivable, unless the enemy is smart and get raindrops (this is a huge counter to early maledict BTW)
2nd - WD and his shard have been nerfed a lot lately,
even the itemization, where u could get arcanes and dis-assemble the arcanes into aether lens, and then late game build octarine using your aether lens to get lower CD, all that has gone.
now u have to buy aether lens separately.
so what i have found is if you keep ur brown boots, skip arcanes and directly build aether, it will be decent mana regen wise and still give u potential to deal max output due to increased cast range.
as a support WD , items are hard to get by, and sometimes skipping arcanes to get a early aether lens will prove to be devastating for the enemy team in mid game fights.
3rd, when the game is really going good for you, meaning u have gotten kills and the team is winning, u can skip aether and instead get a blink,
now patience is key, like Mr Torte de Lini said, once u see 2 enemies bunched up together, u jump in , casket, maledict and ward, and boom, you have taken down 2 heroes.
and you are already winning the fight.
aether is 2275
blink is 2250
glimmer is 2150
u can only get one by midgame , so choose wisely according to your gameplay.
u wanna sit behind and be patient, go glimmer.
if u want to be gigachad doctor initiator and instantly take down 2 enemies go blink.
aether can be farmed later in both these builds.
4th - Glimmer is a goated item , u can save urself, ur teammates. and dont forget about the passive 20% magic resistance. when the enemy is magic heavy , you need to survive the burst. and this item will help you.
5th - while Silencer can be annoying, i have a special trick to counter Silencer, they usually press R in panic when they see the ward damaging their teammates, what I do is , I rush shard, or convince my team to get the Tormentor early, then i use the shard, 9 itmes out of 10 the Silencer is baited into pressing their Global, bcoz they think i used the Death ward, but its the switcheroo instead !!! and then when my switcheroo is over, I channel my ward and the silencer is sad. you will be surprised how many global silences i have baited just by this trick.
Great tips, thanks for sharing!
Great video!
I enjoy a ton of witch doctor and glad to know a lot of these tips I already know, but this guide would've made me learn all of that a lot quicker!
Thanks for the guide!
Oh thanks man! Glad you approve and appreciate the support!
Each "How to play" video is a treasure trove of knowledge. I'm eager to learn more 🤯
Stay tuned every week 👏
Knowledge I get from those videos is nuts. Keep it up!
Cheers brother! Be sure to share!
Super useful guide! Can we have more hero specific guide videos like these?
Some of the detailed mechanics regarding toggling voodoo after casting death ward to prevent rubick steals really surprised me.
Every week will be a new Tortetorial and if they're outdated, I will redo a new one for you.
All I ask is that you share with others
Sick job m8. I do appreciate the effort and sharing the knowledge. I've tried numerous times with Witch Doctor and I hated my self. With few more views, I'm having a feeling that my success rate will approve slowly.
All the best and sending regards from Serbia 🎉
Thank you, thank you! Love Serbia, was in Belgrade last year ♥️
As a begginer, thank you sir, keep it up. Community actually needs those step-by-step videos.
That's how I felt when I watched what was out there. Not a lot of step-by-step instructions on how to play each hero.
Granted, that changes depending on the game but this series of videos is trying to break it down more easily for those just starters
Thank you for the effort with the subtitles
My pleasure, glad you appreciate it! I definitely recognize I talk too fast and mumble a lot and not everyone speaks perfect English
Remember that sometimes getting maledict lvl1 is far better if you just want to keep that ogre/clockwork at a safe distance in the laning stage
Another note is that he has been nerfed to oblivion in the last few patches so I myself would probably wait for a while before I play him again
You're right about Maledict, great tip!!
Yes, he's been nerfed but this video is intended to be regularly checked and updated for years to come, so that may no longer be true long in the future!
Thanks for the great guide. Can you make a dragon knight guide which has survivability but does alot of damage early laning stage? Or just any DK guide 😊
Yes, on the way for hopefully next week but I'm concerned a patch may change that
Parasma is a great item on witch doctor, especially for more active play.
I know this reference
Your calm voice not only educates but also keeps me relaxed and refreshed
Thank you ♥️ definitely play dota patiently
bro i thought torte de lini guides were gone 😢 love u bro, since 2017 your guides have been making dota fun for me cuz i struggle with items and abilities. much love ❤.
Oh nono, I have never left! I am still making in-game guides for you too on top of these video guides! Thanks for your trust and support ❤
Well I'm glad to know that I do most of this already.
In the DOTA community in my country, I'm considered the best WD player for some reason. But I'm a low ranked scrub!
I still consider Urn/Vessel as my go to item early game after mana boots.
Keen humanoids, trolls and hoven forest around bleeding hills
WD is hands down one of the most fun heroes to play and you're 100% on the money on how to make the most out of him to secure early game and get wins! Great content, as always!
Cheers man and yeah, love me sum LOOKATITGO
Interesting guide.
Cheers
nice, thank you. today i'll do as u say
Cheers lemme know how it works ♥️
The bests guides of dota

"your carry doesn't need a supervisor" bro, I'm stuck in herald and have to personally coach my carries 😂 they truly suck, I'm positive that majority them don't have a screen!
Haha, play Witch Doctor and carry them
@@TorteDeLini I think I might! I love supports that have such a huge influence on how the games turn out!
Thanks for the brilliant video and item guides! 😄
Cheers ♥️ stay tuned next week!

Vassel is beast with meldict
That's a nice combo!
Wow it's really hard to find good dota vvideo guide for a specific hero.
Unlike League of legend which is there are everywhere😅
That was my feeling as well when I was doing my initial research. I thought there was more but there's actually very few or they're old and outdated!
Thanks for checking out my stuff
