I have yet to test this, but hear me out. at level 20 try taking the nexus blades rather than nerazim fury. If you really want burst damage, this skill takes your basic attack damage from 882 out of a cloak to 952.5 at level 20. Although I see the utility in nerazim, It's just something to think about if you're going for strict burst.
EDIT: The damage calculations are a bit off I read the wrong numbers. it would change damage from 735 to 793.8 so your DPS would go up 815.85 to 881.118. You would have an extra 70 DPS for 5 seconds rather than your life steal and increased duration. It's most likely not worth it but I'm going for a strict DPS burst character, I would like to save my ult if i can.
I can see your reasonings about this however keep in mind my guide is a few patches out of date. I will be getting on that in the next week and get it updated for the Leoric patch.
Funny enough I created this build way back on September last year and only now a variation of this is being used. It used to be all about the AP with nobody thinking of AD at all haha.
Thanks!

Hey there,
I haven't updated my guide for this patch yet but season Marksman may not be as strong at the moment due to various factors. Although even if you still get 20 - 40 stacks a game, when amplified by other abilities, it's still a good amount of damage.
I agree it get's better with "age", however if you take it I would suggest this needs to be a very very sane decision that I would not suggest as the first "go to choice".
For some reason it works better for other heroes also for the synergy with talents.
Then again, I do like Mageatul more then cqc builds ;)
played some quick match with the build i have total 5 games with Zeratul ending intense atleast :)
Haha well what you saw is how fast you kill squish targets. Weird video though because the sound was pretty messed up haha.
Hi,
I know I am a bit late, you may have changed it along the way as I also don't see any new episodes on twitch.
I do not really get the recommendation for seasoned marksman...
As you described, Zeratul should roam and harass wherever he can to make the enemy team play more passively or support teamfights.
That means he can usually not sit in a lane to wait for minion kills and he does also not push unless the team runs rampantly crazy... ;)
It may be I undervalue the fact that it now stays even after death, I will use it a few games and see how many stacks I can add up.
I usually go with cleave range btw. may be wrong though.
Cheers
(edit)
nope doesn't add up after playing a few games picking SM ;)
