The Butcher [Standard Meta Build] by -Der Bestimmer-

After watching some guides on Youtube I compiled this Build as kind of a "Save Build" for The Butcher, that grants a good balance between Damage and Sustain / Damage Reduction.

It aims mainly on dealing damage with Autoattacks, while giving Butcher passive Damage Mitigation.

The level 20 talent "Bolt of the Storm" is the defensive choice, while Nexus Blade is more of a "snowballing" aggressive option. Slaughterhouse is a good teamfight talent, if not countered by big AoE Damage Mitigation, Blinds or CC.

Hope it helps.

Every 5 seconds, gain 75 Physical Armor against the next enemy Hero Basic Attack, reducing the damage taken by 75%. Stores up to 2 charges.

Cheap Shot

Hamstring does 100% more damage to targets affected by a Slow, Root, or Stun.

Lamb to the Slaughter

Throw a hitching post that attaches to the nearest enemy Hero after a 1 second delay. This deals 171 damage and causes the enemy to be chained to the post and Silenced for 3 seconds.

While below 50% of his maximum Health, taking damage causes The Butcher to become Enraged for 10 seconds, gaining 40% Attack Speed and 25 Armor, reducing damage taken by 25%. This effect has a 25 second cooldown.
