Summary of Dirge remake in Dota 6.58 January 14, 2009

Decay- Spell

Damages an opponent and borrows some of their strength.  This is like Astral Imprisonment, except for strength.

Soul Rip- Spell

This is the same as before.  It heals a friendly unit or damages an enemy unit for an amount based on how many units are near it.  It’s good in a clusterfuck.

Tombstone- Spell

Summons an obelisk that spawns aggro zombies next to nearby enemy units.  These zombies are good for harassing and neutraling and they have 7% slow.  If an enemy hero is low health the zombies get bloodlusted.

Tombstone- do three neutral camps at once

Flesh Golem- Ultimate

Similar to Alchemist’s ultimate since basically Dirge gets pumped up and wants to kill shit.  Damage is amplified, enemy heroes are slowed, and Dirge gets healed when things die.

Flesh Golem- lookin' big

Summary of Storm Spirit remake in Dota 6.58 January 13, 2009

Static Remnant- Spell
This leaves a hologram of the Storm Spirit that does AOE damage once when someone comes near it. This is like laying a mine, except it is visible to the other team.

Static Remnant

Electric Vortex- Spell
This disables a unit and drags it slowly towards you. This is like Rhasta’s Shackle except you can still attack while grabbing the unit.

Electric Vortex

Overload- Passive
This result of this ability is the same as before, but now it comes about in a different way. A bonus damage/slow is now added to the attack after a spell is cast, instead of after a certain number of consecutive attacks.

Ball Lightning- Ultimate
This is exactly like Morphling’s Waveform except that it drains your Mana, and the distance you may travel is limited only by the size of your Mana pool. The farther you’ve traveled, the more damage it does to things you hit along the way. With 2000 mana you can travel all the way from  your base to the river.
