I can't tell the exact build, but when I fought OrexxerO, he ran a no-tower build himself, and it cleaned shit up(still beat it, but holy crap, it was tough). I'll definetly say it has potential, but since I know nothing about rook other then RTSD or Stay the fuck away from him, I can't really comment on the build itself.

Quite interesting, very efficient build !

But maybe getting some cheaper items first would help ? Like BoS after Plenor ? Because by the time I can afford Journeyman's, it's pretty much GG already

ignore this

I agree with another poster that you should probaby get a least 1 level of tower of power so you can use your own towers for structural transfer. Also I'm confused as to why no god strength as well. Trying to think about how to squeeze in good strength.. maybe avoid the stats... dunno.

having played against iphires rook last night, i can tell you that its very nasty, specially if you have some teamates that can slow down the enemy

Fail because no god strength, there's just no reason to skip it.

ah for the debuff, forgot about that, i understand now

As per the God strength comments I don't get God Strength because I don't typically melee damage people often, but if you prefer +150 melee damage over enhanced attributes go for it. 

As per the power tower you could also fit that in but I prefer to have Level 2 smash and boulder roll by level 5 to start hero killing otherwise you can fall behind in levels.

boulder roll -->hammer slam   is a viable tactic

You can interupt slam with Pentinence but not if he stuns you first

What's the duration of stun compared to hammer cast timer?  I could've sworn i came out of stun and interrupted a split second before it hit.  I do remember going up toe to toe with an offensive rook who was stacking gloves, on my UB a while ago and just getting my ass handed to me if I missed Grasp.

My build is actually similar to this but I get God Strenght instead of Attribute bonuses to knock down enemy buildings quicker more then for more killing power.

I use the Amulet of Transportation for my Favor item so i don't have to spend gold on Teleport Scrolls. Then I just get the two Mana masks and stack up my armor and health.

Bulwark of the Ages and Allfather ring usually won't come into play but the Bulwark can up the Rooks health to over 7k HP sometimes depending on what other health and armor items you have.

And as Iphire said, gotta get Bolder Roll and Hammer Slam in sync big time to net kills. If your off by a fraction it won't work, and you will only hit the enemy DG with the AOE damage and not the raw max damage.

One nasty strategy I use is if a enemy DG is tagging a flag I will tele to it and then instantly bolder roll and hammer slam, they usually arne't expecting something like that.

I makeup for not picking attribute skill points with items. I usually spend alot on armor and health items.

IPhires build seems to be more speed based. Mine is more Armor/damage based.

I will say, good show. Best rook i've been put up against. I was trying to make a build like this that worked. yours seem pretty close. Dropping a point or two out of structural transfer and getting god strength might be the only thing I'd change.

I'm also not too sold on the Idea of getting Journeyman's as my third item. I guess it's possible if you're cleary winning the push.  I will say playing against a rook that fast was pretty insane.

The team you guys had was pretty solid, if you dropped regulus for UB or Erebus I don't think i'd want to play you again.
