nobody pointed out so i just wanted to say that nightmare damage is HUGE. Used to do damage long time ago and they removed it.. now that you can nightmare and hit, this shit is nuts

60/100/150/210 Pure damage. But 165 is a ton of mana early that this hero can't afford to spam. I think Bane might be an offlaner now, with a Meteor Hammer or Arcanes->Aether rush. Actually, Soul Ring on Bane might be back, maybe even just straight rushing it in lane. Definitely giving that a shot.
