The different boots are listed below. Enhanced Marchers first, Steamboots second and the last one is Post Haste. If the letters are in green its good for him. If its in yellow its ok/decent, if the boot is not mentioned its not recommended or bad for the hero! Behind the Steam Boots i will type (s/a/i). Thats if they should be Srength, agi or int. Its just recommendations! If you went for Steam Boots or Enhanced Marchers always have a homecoming stone in your inventory!
This is harder than i thought! Just recommendations! Escpecially the post haste
they fit almost every hero. Steam boots
Enhanced Marchers
Post Haste
The different Bracelets/Talismans/Soulscreams are good for increasing your early game power and are often essential for a good early game / mid game. They provide a nice boost in terms of stats making you useful in earlier. General rule: The harder the game, the more important the bracelets/talisman/soulscreams are. The easier the game, the less important are they and can be skipped.
Combining Bracelets/Soulscreams and Steamboots: Generaly you dont want to make 2 Fortified bracelets and agility steam boots. Its not cost efficient since Fortified Bracelts costs more than Soulscream rings, Steamboots however, always cost the same. Its better to make it all strength if you got the Bracelets. However its a viable GOOD option to buy 2-3 soul scream rings and have strength (or agility for that matter) Steam Boots! Chose Bracelets over Soulscream rings for agility if you face mass spell damage i e 4-5 casters.
Another note is: On some Strength heroes or Intelligence heroes the following rule is applied: If you get Ring of Sorcery get Bracelets instead of Talismans of Exile. If you get Bottle, get talismans of Exile insted of Bracelets! Rule is applied on stared heroes -> ** <--

1.3 Supportive Items
Now we move on to the supportive items. They are suitable for different types of heroes and brings more power to your team. Support items are not to be underestimted. If the hero name is in green its awesome on him. If in yellow its good/acceptable and if in red its really bad. I only mention if its bad if its necessary. I e i wont say that runed axe is bad on ranged heroes!
Astrolabe 2306 $ Mekansm in Dota
+5 to all stats and adds 5 armor. Active ability that heals 250 HP for all units around you. Good only if got fast, before 20 minutes. Very good item versus area of effect damage such as Slither, Behemoth or Thunderbringer. Suitable item for the following heroes:
Nymphora - Possible first item.
Ophelia - Possible First item.
Demented Shaman - Possible First item.
Hellbringer: - Possible first item.
Zephyr - Possible first item.
Accursed - Possible first item
Jereziah - Good on him as a healer build/supporter build. Gotten after ring of sorcery if going for supporter build.
Electrician - Can be built if needed.
Not suitable for:
The rest.
Totem of Kuldra 5675 $ Guinsoos Scythe of Vyse/Hex in Dota
Adds 200% mana regen, 10 strength, 10 agility, 35 intelligence. Gives the ability to disable a hero for 3.5 seconds. A very strong item thats particulary good against agility heroes that gets beefy in late game and other heroes that are main targets.
Succubus - Main item.
Wretched Hag - Main item.
Blacksmith - Main Item.
Nymphora - Main Item.
Thunderbringer - Main Item.
Ophelia - Main item.
Pyromancer - Main item.
Hellbringer - Main item.

Magmus - Possible item if facing alot of agility heroes.
Barrier Idol 3653 $ Kadghars Pipe of Insight/Crack Pipe in Dota
Grants +5 armor, +10 magic armor, 8 hp regen and an active ability called Barrier. It gives an area of effect shield that reduces 400 magic damage (before reductions) to all heroes proteced from it. Excellent item versus AOE damage like Behemoth, Torturer and Wretched Hag.
As a general rule: Its mainly considered as the supporters task to get it. Or heroes that are considered weaker in late game due to an early game skillset.
Pebbles - Great for the team if facing AOE spell damage.
Pharaoh - Great for the team if facing AOE spell damage.
Jereziah - Great for the team if facing AOE spell damage.
Accursed - Great for the team if facing AOE spell damage.
Keeper of The Forest - Great for the team if facing AOE spell damage.

Zephyr - Great for the team if facing AOE spell damage.
Slither - Great for the team if facing AOE spell damage.
Blacksmith - Great for the team if facing AOE spell damage.
Armaddon - Can use this as a primary build.
Ophelia - Good for the team if facing AOE spell damage.
Demented Shaman - Good for the team if facing AOE spell damage.
Tempest - Good for the team if facing AOE spell damage.
Nymphora - Good for the team if facing AOE spell damage.
Devourer - Ok, but he should farm other items.
Legionnaire - Should farm other Items, its the supporters task. However if your team is refusing and you really need one, go ahead and get it. Dammn Publics
Carries - Should farm other items. Supporters/Heroes that are useless late game task to get it.
Storm Spirit 2925 $ Euls Scepter of divinity in dota
Gives 20 ms bonus, 16 intelligence and 100 % mana regeneration. Adds the ability toss one opponent in the air (making it invulnerable) for 2,5 seconds. Its almost never used and considered to be useless since its so inferior to Totem of Kuldra. Generally the intelligence heroes that farms this have no problems of getting Totem of Kuldra fast. Get it only if your team is in a desperate need of a disable and you have no chance of farming Totem of Kuldra because you are losing the game.
Pollywog Priest - Can use this if you have trouble trapping enemies with your ward. But in that case, Portal Key is better.
Potential candidates if the game is going crap are (Listed as red since its a mediocre item):
Blacksmith
Nymphora
Thunderbringer
Pyromancer
Hellbringer
Demented Shaman
Puppetmaster
Accursed
Behemoth
Succubus
Ring of Sorcery 1700 $ Arcane Ring in Dota

Thunderbringer - Possible first item.
Behemoth - Possible first item.
Pyromancer - Possible first item (if to many bottles on team).
Blacksmith - Possible first item.
Pebbles - Possible first item.
Accursed: May be built as support, but not really necessary.

Valkyrie - Very bad. Delays your damage items. Your manapool is sufficent with a bottle
Torturer - Very bad. Has alot better routes.
Devourer - Bad. Bottle is sufficent.
Magmus - Bad. Bottle is sufficent.
Wretched Hag - Bottle is sufficent.
Restoration Stone 5300 $ Refresher Orb in Dota
Grants +40 damage, 4 HP regen / 200% mana regen and an active ability that resets your cooldowns. 240 second CD . Good for heroes with a big ultimate. Be aware of the big cooldown and mana cost (375).
Pollywog priest - Main Item. Double wards are strong.
Keeper of the Forest: Possible main item. Double ultis are strong.

Behemoth - Double ulti kills. Corpses boosts ulti damage.
Pyromancer - Double ulti hurts.
Thunderbringer - 1000 global damage is ok, better than staff of the master.

Abyssal skull 2050 $ Vladmirs Offering in Dota
Gives an aura that grants 15% lifesteal for melee heroes, 15% damage, 0.8 mana regen/second and 5 armor. Armor aura is not stackable with Demonic Breast Plate. Good if you need lifesteal but i want to mention some unorthodox heroes that can get this if you have a strong carry on ur team. Since its an aura ranged can wear it but they dont benefit from the life steal aura. However, their melee team mates benefit from it. As an example: If you are Ophelia, and have a ring of the teacher, dont be shy to build this one so you can save the i e Madman 2000 gold (for life steal). He can then build other items instead.
Ophelia - She gets ring of the teacher for jungle, nice buildup.

Accursed - He benefits from it, and can get it to support.
Nymphora - She has monster farm and can get it.
Hellbringer - Can get it aswell.

General rule: Life steal is better in lategame and weaker in early game. Its good if u decied to farm in the jungle. Check lower in my post for an in depth description of life steal.
Maliken - Fights in ranged form.
Puzzlebox 2750 $ + 1300 $ per upgrade (2 times). Necronomicon/Necrobook in Dota

Active ability that summons 2 very powerful summons with mana burn(25/50/75 Manaburn on attack and one with 225 manaburn spell on lvl 3) and IAS/MS aura. LvL 3 Puzzlebox minions can se invisible units and wards. On lvl 3 the melee summon deals 600 true damage to the one who killed it (800 damage if it would be magical).

Ophelia - Great.
