Based on my matches with Spectre in it (given the fact I just play pos4 or 5) I mostly win. That is if you support her a lot. Though last january as I look onto my matches, I lost with a spectre on my team due the sole reason, the player handling her was practicing with her. The player just ranted after the game ended and blamed our mid invoker :l when in fact the invoker carried us until the 55min mark until the CK on the team just had 6 slots worth of items making the invoker utterly useless when we got mega creeped :l So yeah, really depends on how you support her or any hero in your team in the game. Greetings from the Philippines Dennis. Great video as always. Educational still full of puns :D
In all of the definitions I looked up, "ghast" and "gast" were all used as adjectives or verbs, while the dota 1 description is used as a noun, so I thought of it as a minor typo x)
Fun fact: according to siractionslack in loregasm, spectre could be an alternate broken version of phantom assassin after too many trip into different timelines
Once you realize that in the Warcraft 3 (the actual game not Dota mod) Spec is actually PA's ultimate so it looked similar to PA from the get go the lore kinda loses some of its magic. Valve basically weaved a creative story in order to link the 2 models looking alike.
For those saying the original warcraft lore this and that... Remember how he says that we disregard anything from warcraft since the dota2 lore is independent.
god tier production beautiful references excellent editing not to mention the memes dude why are you so underrated ??? guys please share as much as you can.
The first iteration of Dispersion having a couple of implications if you look into it. 1. It has the chance to completely negate an instance of damage, no matter how much damage. 2. The damage will be reflected in full, to every single enemy unit in an aoe around her. The implication being, that various attacks and abilities in the game has the very real possibility to outright kill the attacker as well as anyone in an AOE around the spectre. Lina, Lion and Phantom Assassin being examples. Dagon can also spectacularly backfire dealing a thousand damage to anyone in range of the Dispersion passive.
i watched your vids since you make dotaology. Thank you Dennis, it really makes me feel nostalgic. And you include HoN in it. so glad about it! Keep it up!!!
Just woke up and must get ready to go to work but then saw a notification from Dennis the Tall and got excited So I watched it first coz every vid you do is worth watching bro 😁😁😁
As far as i recall the lore, there are also Stormrage = Ilidian/Magina and Sylvanas = Windrunner/Krobelus/Traxex. (I like Sylvanas most ua-cam.com/video/jSJr3dXZfcg/v-deo.html)
The Loregasm video is great. There’s so much lore to Spectre, Oracle, and PA all together it’s just woah Much love coming from Lebanon! Keep the great videos coming.
I'm going to keep asking it: History of Bloodseeker please! He's been reworked 2 or 3 times! I'd love to learn more about the original weird Int bloodseeker with rupture as a passive!
1st: this content can reach a lot on dota players and related games. 2nd: it promotes awareness to a lot of players who didnt know that past of the game 3rd: it brings back memories for old players, specially me coz i have been playing this game since the beginning 4th: your vids provide humor and smile for me haha P.S. dennis brother, try shadow fiend also know as “NEVERMORE” his skills got a alot of reworks
Ooooohhhhh!!!! Another vid from Dennis the tall ❤️❤️ As always, great video! So much love all the way from the Philippines haha. You'll get so much more subs in no time for sure! (-Miguel Cortez, a fan of yours hehe) 🙌🏻🙌🏻
damn i was waiting for you to mention about Slacks theory of Spectre being the future PA after equiping her arcana. Oh well still, your upload is always a treat
I don't understand how this guy only has 20k+ subs You are fucking amazing man, much love from ph too! P.s. It just makes me cry every time you make a reference of HoN, it was such an amazing game back then :'(
I really glad you make this video. I've been spaming spec as offlaner for past 2 weeks and gain 500 mmr points. Every time i pick this hero for offlaner and someone underestimated spec offlane i just laugh and think that this people never know the other potential for spec. This hero is goddamn tanky if it build as tank, u could kill some one by just stand in enemy fountain.
okay..... Let's forget about this historical video in a while, as a support main and have jakiro as my favourite hero 9:31 is my favourite part of this vid...
I like Spectre more in dota 1, the sound effect on her ult is more scarier compared to dota 2. Dota 1 lover here from the Philippines but I’m here in the US. Love your videos man! Keep them up!
Also - Spectre is the last form of Phantom Assassin after PA completely loses her mind on a never ending quest to kill EVERYONE! Strictly Dota 2 lore interpretation but makes sense TBH
I remember spectre being OP after dispersion rework. It used to work off of illusions with the +dmg% illusions take. Enemy team AoE into Haunt = easy team wipe
a cool thing about sand wraith was when he casted his dagger the units hit take desolate procs no matter if they were alone or not, pretty nice touch by HoN if you ask me.
I will never forget that time that i won a game for our team not by been the best player, but by anoying the hell out of the opponents hard carry with techies, how it would use spectre ult just to kill me and then deny myself, and then it would die to my mines
The first version of spectre had Phase, Haunt, Vengeance Aura, and Summon Avatar of Vengeance (WC3 Nightelf Warden's ultimate). Dispersion was introduced later.
Fun Fact: Dota 1 Spectre does not actually have the right voice. That voice is for the Spirits of Vengeance, the things it summons, which also leads me to saying that that isn’t Maiev’s voice backwards, it’s just Archer voice lines backwards.The Avatar of Vengeance’s (Spectre’s) voice should be an incredibly deep version of the Crypt Fiend’s voicelines, as that’s what the actual voicelines for the model. TLDR: Spectre Lines =/= Backwards Maiev, Spectre lines =(Should be)=Incredibly deep Crypt Fiend
Hi Dennis, just a humble request, could you make history of kunkka aka the admiral on your next release? Just as i enjoy your commentary i wish you could do some of your talent onto my fav hero though. Thanks and great video as always
Wow, Spectre debuted so late? I played a lot of her in the original DotA days, I didn't think I was still playing that late in the patch cycle though...
Not sure if you have watched his lore videos, but siractionslacks has deduced with enough speculation and assumptions that spectre is actaully pa after she gets the arcana. Its quite interesting and definately worth the watch. Either way another fantastic video and i am keen to see your channel grow.
Question: Who is more likely to make you lose?
A Spectre on the enemy team OR a Spectre on your team?
Depends on the mmr
Dennis The Tall the enemy team
Based on my matches with Spectre in it (given the fact I just play pos4 or 5) I mostly win. That is if you support her a lot. Though last january as I look onto my matches, I lost with a spectre on my team due the sole reason, the player handling her was practicing with her. The player just ranted after the game ended and blamed our mid invoker :l when in fact the invoker carried us until the 55min mark until the CK on the team just had 6 slots worth of items making the invoker utterly useless when we got mega creeped :l So yeah, really depends on how you support her or any hero in your team in the game.
Greetings from the Philippines Dennis. Great video as always. Educational still full of puns :D
Spectre on my team. Which is very similar to an invoker from my enemy's team. 😑
Can you make Techies vid?
I love Techies... the only hero that Counters all heroes😊
Ghast is an actual word, not a typo of ghost. It's what the word ghastly stems from, actually. And Gastly.
In all of the definitions I looked up, "ghast" and "gast" were all used as adjectives or verbs, while the dota 1 description is used as a noun, so I thought of it as a minor typo x)
@Dennis The Tall -- many uses of ghast as a noun: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghast
Well I'll be damned
Yeah I actually was coming here to gripe about this one also 😂
Ghast and Porto anyone?
just whatever you do , PLEASE don't stop making these videos , they make me smile as i get back the good memories of me playing Dota 1 and HoN !!
Probably one of the only passionate Dota 2 content creators left. Keep up the good work.
MC Mango
I dont even play dota and i watch him..i watched magicarp used fly before i started playing league
@@Atomikerer I don't play League and I watch a few LoL content creators too. Good content is universal.
@@Atomikerer same here. I just like mobas, but time to play the is tight so i just enjoy his relaxing voice
It's reqlly nice to see this conversation here different mobas are good on their own ways not one of them is better they are all equal
How to explain Spectre in one scentence...
This is Spectre, the hero that makes people kill themselfs without doing anything.
Bristleback would like a talk with you.
I play dota on a daily basis, im so happy i got these videos in my recommended. really high quality videos my guy keep it up!
Fun fact: according to siractionslack in loregasm, spectre could be an alternate broken version of phantom assassin after too many trip into different timelines
Spec = PA
Loregasm wise :D
Slacks is the best tbh
Once you realize that in the Warcraft 3 (the actual game not Dota mod) Spec is actually PA's ultimate so it looked similar to PA from the get go the lore kinda loses some of its magic.
Valve basically weaved a creative story in order to link the 2 models looking alike.
saddest shit ever😣
that episode is so good, blew my fucking mind so hard, literally got goosebumps lol
For those saying the original warcraft lore this and that... Remember how he says that we disregard anything from warcraft since the dota2 lore is independent.
god tier production
beautiful references
excellent editing
not to mention the memes dude why are you so underrated ??? guys please share as much as you can.

i watched your vids since you make dotaology. Thank you Dennis, it really makes me feel nostalgic.
And you include HoN in it. so glad about it!
Keep it up!!!
Just woke up and must get ready to go to work but then saw a notification from Dennis the Tall and got excited So I watched it first coz every vid you do is worth watching bro 😁😁😁
Cashier: What would you like to order?
Spectre: shals feofmsdvo
*History of Omniknight or Abaddon, please! Both are Arthas*
Their skills are like two sides of coin and obviously reflect their characters.
This would be a really interesting one to do :thinking:
As far as i recall the lore, there are also Stormrage = Ilidian/Magina and Sylvanas = Windrunner/Krobelus/Traxex.
(I like Sylvanas most ua-cam.com/video/jSJr3dXZfcg/v-deo.html)
Ah, yes, Jeraziah and Accursed will be interesting
Esujin Kuular sadly the lore Terrorblade/Anti-Mage is completely scrapped in Dota 2
Terroblade and Anti mage brotherhood rivalry, I member, really dont know why osfrog removed that lore, it would be such a good story
Another video! Been waiting for this for a while. Great work man, keep it up.
You are probably the most underrated youtuber ever. Really good and high quality videos
Subbed because the cat
sub for the cate.
Right on point Dennis you never cease to amaze me with your videos
The Loregasm video is great. There’s so much lore to Spectre, Oracle, and PA all together it’s just woah
Much love coming from Lebanon! Keep the great videos coming.
I'm going to keep asking it: History of Bloodseeker please! He's been reworked 2 or 3 times! I'd love to learn more about the original weird Int bloodseeker with rupture as a passive!

You actually played the old DotA maps, you my friend are one reason why I'm still into DotA.
History of ghost waifu
spectre is olev

"Casper the friendly ghost - with a gun" New dota hero confirmed. Thanks Dennis :D
As a long time dota player these are refreshing and even I still learn stuff I never knew! great job Dennypoo
Ooooohhhhh!!!! Another vid from Dennis the tall ❤️❤️
As always, great video! So much love all the way from the Philippines haha.
You'll get so much more subs in no time for sure!
(-Miguel Cortez, a fan of yours hehe) 🙌🏻🙌🏻
she's the future version of phantom assassin if pa keeps on travelling dimensions. periodt
damn i was waiting for you to mention about Slacks theory of Spectre being the future PA after equiping her arcana.
Oh well still, your upload is always a treat
hope you get more subs bro, your content and your presentation are both astounding!
I like how you also take notice of Heroes of Newerth being it the go to game back when dota 2 was still just a dream.
Here for the Heart
You know I can't resist the heart request
Yeah Yeah I love you too
Coz if you resist, she's gonna delete your channel :)
Coz if you resist, she's gonna delete your channel :)
Your History of Dota videos are very entertaining in a sense that it gives me nostalgia from playing Dota1 back then.
Man these videos are awesome. Please keep up the good work. Let's see a history of every hero!
I just realized the similarity between Spectre and Spongebob. Great vid as always!
I'm just really love the way you find your reference
One of my favourite hero
Pyke is one of the best sups that ever was, don't you DARE throw mud in his name!
You just gained a follower. I enjoy watching all your vids. Keep it up !
We learned a lot about your anime tastes this video, and that Spectre's voice is adorable!
A little anecdote: when avatar of vengeance was first made into spectre, her illusions had dispersion :D it was hilarious and quickly fixed
Greetings from Nothl Realm
We love you Dennis!!!
Omg! I've waited for this Dennis. Even followed you in twitter just to get enough updates from you while creating this vid. Keep it up! 😉
I've waited if you're going to add the head cannon in Phantoms and Daggers' vid though. Anyway, this is still a masterpiece! ❤
I don't understand how this guy only has 20k+ subs
You are fucking amazing man, much love from ph too!
P.s. It just makes me cry every time you make a reference of HoN, it was such an amazing game back then :'(
I really glad you make this video. I've been spaming spec as offlaner for past 2 weeks and gain 500 mmr points. Every time i pick this hero for offlaner and someone underestimated spec offlane i just laugh and think that this people never know the other potential for spec. This hero is goddamn tanky if it build as tank, u could kill some one by just stand in enemy fountain.
Yudith Andika gaining 500 mmr in 2 k bracket is not hard, 2ks dont know how to punish spectre
Not against viper ofc
spec offlane u have to be 1k
Spec just literally needs to farm to be op. That's what I do
History of Weaver, Syllabear and Mortred! Great content and knowledge of the game!
I lost it when you said "Casper with a gun!"
"Reversed voicelines of morted" Spectre is Pa with the arcana after centuries confirmed
okay..... Let's forget about this historical video in a while, as a support main and have jakiro as my favourite hero 9:31 is my favourite part of this vid...
I like Spectre more in dota 1, the sound effect on her ult is more scarier compared to dota 2.
Dota 1 lover here from the Philippines but I’m here in the US. Love your videos man! Keep them up!
Everybody: “Spec-tur”
Filipino kids: “Spec-tre”
Me Russian: Spec-tra
FR
I can't unsee that Spectre's new design looks like a 'OwO'
Way better than WTF DotA. :) Hahahahaha. It's fun getting to recall the way things were in the past and how mucb has changed. Thanks!
Also - Spectre is the last form of Phantom Assassin after PA completely loses her mind on a never ending quest to kill EVERYONE! Strictly Dota 2 lore interpretation but makes sense TBH
"sounding more like an alien than the space monster he is"
i dont think you know what an alien is
I died when he said "strong as Casper the friendly ghost,,,, with a gun" he said it too subtle 😂😂😂😭😭
ikr xD
I remember spectre being OP after dispersion rework. It used to work off of illusions with the +dmg% illusions take. Enemy team AoE into Haunt = easy team wipe
I love your videos bruv, keep up the good work! 👌🏼
4:34 when someone brings up an assassin as a support from another game. (Pyke BTW)
a cool thing about sand wraith was when he casted his dagger the units hit take desolate procs no matter if they were alone or not, pretty nice touch by HoN if you ask me.
maaaan you forgot to mention sir action slacks loregasm on specter it was EPIC
The sense of humor plus a soothing voice. WP.
Awesome!!! People from across the world enjoy ur vids too! Looking forward for more~
PS. Pls do Windranger
dennis my main man..keep these vids coming..i love these
I will never forget that time that i won a game for our team not by been the best player, but by anoying the hell out of the opponents hard carry with techies, how it would use spectre ult just to kill me and then deny myself, and then it would die to my mines
As soon as I saw this video I thought to myself "Oh god, full damage disperse from All-Stars was a fucking nightmare"
Reall love your series Dennis! Please make one for Terrorblade or Anti-Mage! They’re my two favourite dota heroes!
Yoooo, that shaman king reference at the end there was sooo funny and nostalgic for me lmao
I remember old Spectre Dispersion skill doing team wipe because of the reflect damage chance. Its so broken we had to ban her constantly
it is rumored that Mercury is the future version of Motred who is lost in her endless assassinations in parallel space and time.
YES! FINALLY. a new vid. hope you make more. and also make a video of the lores
Its vid for a new player to learn the dota history in a 10 min u really done it mate GJ
Dude I love your videos man. As a 5k player, I can truly say you make 10k content 👍👍👍
Casper the friendly ghost but with a gun... taking a time to process that
The first version of spectre had Phase, Haunt, Vengeance Aura, and Summon Avatar of Vengeance (WC3 Nightelf Warden's ultimate). Dispersion was introduced later.
Now I’m forced to remember that sad loregasm vid. I’ll gladly take dazzle if he’s on the street.
Bonus points for that Haschwalth reference! Subscribed
Watching from across the world? 11:36
ill watch you in Another Planet if I have to xD Amazing Content as always 👌
I don't dota all that much but these videos make me interested in playing it more
Run while you can my guy
Unfortunately no one gave a fuck waht so ever in a pub :D
DONT. RUN BITCH, RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!
Man I can't wait for more of these. I will patiently wait in hope of an Anti-mage or Crystal Maiden video.
This is one of the most funny video you created
10:16 im pretty sure the level 25 talent was +20% haunt illusion damage then later 40%
Fun Fact: Dota 1 Spectre does not actually have the right voice. That voice is for the Spirits of Vengeance, the things it summons, which also leads me to saying that that isn’t Maiev’s voice backwards, it’s just Archer voice lines backwards.The Avatar of Vengeance’s (Spectre’s) voice should be an incredibly deep version of the Crypt Fiend’s voicelines, as that’s what the actual voicelines for the model.

Hi Dennis, just a humble request, could you make history of kunkka aka the admiral on your next release? Just as i enjoy your commentary i wish you could do some of your talent onto my fav hero though. Thanks and great video as always
Dotaology:
history of Dennis must be added here
Today’s meta is spectre she’s unstoppable boy!! Can’t wait for more heroes to come
A NEW SUB HERE FROM THE PHILIPPINES!
you're getting recognized here from southeast asia especially in the philippines
Haha welcome! I hope to visit there one day
I really love your videos brings back memories
Wow, Spectre debuted so late? I played a lot of her in the original DotA days, I didn't think I was still playing that late in the patch cycle though...
I really like your vids..knowing bout dota history n changes from then till the latest update..who doesnt want that?
remember her prime, when reflected damage was not divided based on enemies number but the whole to all of them, so so imbalanced lol
Casper with a gun, now that's terrifying.
Spectre is my favorite carry by far. So fun to play!
Keep at doing what you love dennis!!! Much love from the ph
The shamanking reference got me ❤
Not sure if you have watched his lore videos, but siractionslacks has deduced with enough speculation and assumptions that spectre is actaully pa after she gets the arcana. Its quite interesting and definately worth the watch.
Either way another fantastic video and i am keen to see your channel grow.
The missy elliott lyrics shout out though in the beginning
Spectre is Warden's (PA)ulti. its spawn Vengeful Spirit when a unit died.
I can't be the only one to laugh at the beta icon for haunt for five minutes straight, right?
Watching you from literally in the middle of the desert, a true sand wraith.
*cries in Saudi arabia*
