Itemization Strategy

Itemized universally in dota with a slight lean on the supports sides, the unique effect it gives makes it easier to give supports a hold if they are a hero without stun also makes them more lethat if they can chain a stun spell. Works also very well with cores as it's an upgrade path for gleipner and gives them a hold everytime they want to engage. An early game item best suited to be a post-laning build.
