What do you guys think about the following builds on Skywrath mage, for playing as an aggressive support.
Build 1: Mana boots, Ghost scpeter, rod of atos
Build 2: Mana boots, Forcestaff, veil of discord

Which one is better? and any alternate suggestions?

P.S: please suggest keeping in mind that as a support wont be able to farm things like diagon, etheral or orchid...
 
Aggresive support u say? Ghostscepter aggresive? only if u are going for ethereal blade with it... and Mana boots? its support equipment. Better go phase boot..thats friggin aggresive :D lol
Veil of Discord...too late and its not a support item in any situation. By that time Pipes and BKBs will be ringing everywhere.
Nonetheless, for a aggresive support build with Skywrath i would suggest--

Bottle->Phase boots-->Force Staff-->---BloodStone--->GhostScepter--> Ethereal --->Hex (assuming u are controlling runes well at start or bottling with courier)

Dont go for Atos unless u are playing a pub game where such luxuries are considered "pro" . And its a 5v 5 game, there are other disablers to help your combo...
Bloodstone is needed for survival and mana pool and is supportive in the sense ur death will heal nearby allies.

What sets Skywrath aggresive is his 2nd, 3rd, and Ulti. The 1st skill is more like a continuous vision giver. So dont go crazy for INT, go for mana pool. Ulti is friggin 650 mana at lvl 11 i think >_<
Cast 1st, 2nd and 3rd and no mana for ulti LOL..u dont want that to happen..
In CM games and tournament ladder matches, Bloodstone is what Skywrath goes for, a must item. Like Bottle-->Stick-->Arcane-->start building bloodstone starting from Mana Booster.

And ya, Skywrath is not a pure support hero. He's a Ganker/Nuker. If he is slouchy in the start,or fails at ganking, he may as well quit.

anyone here plays invoker?

anyone here plays invoker?
Me :) In tourneys if my captain picks invoker (if we get first pick and its not banned) he gives me the epic responsibility to play this INT CARRY. Mastered it by playing it continuously weeks before Asylum DOtA tournament in 2012

Yes.. i had thought of phase, but was worried about the mana requirements.... and do you think there is need for phase when you have a force staff?
Ghost scepter was just in case I get enough fram by feeding on the enemy supports to get an etheral.... also to avoid physical attacks from the enemy carries.
I agree with your veiw of Veil, but its still good to nuke the supports.. as they wouldnt be able to buy BKB...

you can give that to me :D

Anyway, you got that because steam trading card goes live yesterday. Every game will drop half of its maximum dropable card. So you will get 3 more crds. And it depends on how much time you play a game.

Steam Trading Cards FAQ
What about free to play games like Team Fortress 2 or Dota 2?
Free to play games drop game cards based on your in-game purchasing. For every $9 USD spent (approximate) since the start of the Steam Trading Card Beta, you will earn one card drop. This card will drop at some point as you play. If you have made in-game purchases in Dota 2 or Team Fortress 2 prior to the Steam Trading Card Beta, or if you owned Team Fortress 2 prior to the Free to Play update, you will have 4 or 5 additional card drops available.
