This build, although now it's February 19th - Gazlowe was on rotation last week, haven't liked him before, but after trying this and the play-style shown in the videos. It made me buy him afterwards. Cheers for a fun guide with this guy +1
Awsome that it still holds up.
gave this build a thumb up because it's a very nice build for a more tanky gazlowe and since finding this guide i've started using regen master at lvl 1, but i would like to share something, i've been trying a more dmg/team oriented gazlowe build where i take goblin fusion at 4, and hyper focus coils at 16 - and instead of robo goblin i use the grav bomb. Perhaps you could make some alternative builds to the one you made? so people have more than one example to follow :). other than that gj and nice guide.
Thanks for the feedback and sharing. I know some guides have multiple builds, but this is honestly the only build I run, although I've tried others extensively. I use only this build (Robo) cause I felt I had the knowledge to discuss and share it. When I played Grav Bomb builds I felt very replaceable, and I never played a game where I felt in control of turning it around despite bad teammates. The Grav builds are like you said "dmg/team", although I feel a bit disingenuous actually thinking it's a "damage" build. The core would be the ult, which relies on very good team work, and honestly still disappoints me even when playing with a team of friends, this could just be personal preference. This build (Robo) gives me what I like, control. When playing this build (Robo), you are a presence, you can't be ignored, your not just a Grav ult. You do good sustained damage in area's and medium to long team fights, you clean camps fast and easy, you can solo bosses, you can rip through lanes. So anyways =), I'll leave the Grav Bomb builds to someone more qualified to write them. Thanks again for the feedback and vote.
Dude, this guide is great. Just tested the build, on my second time playing Gaz and the results were more than good. Thank's a lot for this one, I was terribly lost about how to get this little bastard on the right track. Thumbs up friend!
Superiority was replaced by Mercenary Lord. They read differently, Superiority was very broad, towers, etc. I'll actually test Mercenary Lord cause now I'm curious, I honestly didn't read it close enough. I thought it was the same effect but with an added damage bonus. If it doesn't reduce tower damage or boss damage I'll probably change the build.
Superiority
Reduce damage taken from non-Heroic enemies by 50%
Mercenary Lord
Non-Boss Mercenaries near your hero deal 50% more damage. Reduces damage taken from Minions and Mercenaries by 50%
Mercenary Lord does not reduce structure damages. Towers still hit you for full amount.
Love the guide, Keep it Up! Would love to see your Matchup Recommendations, still not sure when i can survive a 1vs1 and when i should just run haha I'm sure everyone would appreciate the update and would definitely make this the Go-To Gaz Guide. Again Thanks!
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I've added a "Matchups/Strategy" section and have started working on the "Threats" section.

Yeah Gaz is one of my very favorites. I generally prefer building him for team fights because his turrents and bombs + grav-o-bomb can absolutely wreck an entire team in many team fights. bomb + grav-o-bomb + bomb + all the turret dmg equals ******ed damage. Slap on the damage added by the rest of your team and it's really nasty! But over all I absolutely love locking areas down with the turrets. It's what I love about him.
However I haven't experimented much outside of that build. I think I will give your build a go. Bosses can absolutely wreck and being able to get it while your team is distracted the enemy team on the other side of the map seems as though it really could be fun. ;)
I have a question though. Does superiority effect the Boss damage?
It is exactly how I've felt about Gaz since I started with him but everyone has said otherwise. The guy is a wrecking ball if used by his team properly, however, I like your use of Gunk Turrets and Sprint. I'll be using this from now on, because I have died way too often when all I needed to do was run away.
Thanks for looking. Gunk Turrets are great, they have so much presence. I'd like to feel like I don't have to take Sprint, but it will save you 99% of the time when it's up.

Pretty good build! Just tried a few games and it definitely worked well. Did not think I was going to enjoy the build as much, but when I started playing it sure was fun! Pretty tanky against NPC's and the regens makes a big difference later in the game if you start to collect them early. Will definitely be playing Gaz more often now!
