Dota 2 FAQ : Current meta builds for Medusa + Spectre?

Current meta builds for Medusa + Spectre?

I saw a comment on here a few days about how Medusa's Linken's Sphere/Manta Style rush is crap. Same goes for Vanguard/Radiance Spectre rush. Now I'm confused as to what would be better builds that suit the current meta for those two heroes?

P/S. I did tried Linken's Sphere/Manta Style using tread swapping yesterday and, suffice to say, it was very frustrating when I can't chase other people until I get my Eye of Skadi, and the damage early on was just pathetic.

Edit: A quick clarification. I didn't explicitly go out of my way to chase. It was one of the early game teamfights that happened in mid (pub game; don't ask why I have to go mid as Medusa), and i was helping my team killing the other team. That was when I noticed that I can only support my team with some pitiful damage, and with everyone ran out of mana, we couldn't catch that Legion Commander that slipped away with her healing+speed boost.



I dont know what retards are claiming that Linken's Sphere/Manta Style rush on Medusa is crap. and Medusa is not a chasing hero. if you trying to chase people with Medusa then you have no idea of what you are doing. considering most pro players get Linken's Sphere/Manta Style multiple times on Medusa(and for that matter Vanguard/Radiance on Spectre), even if some 5-6k MMR player comes and tell you that its a crap build you should tell him to fuck off. all itemization depends on the situation you are in. if you are getting completely free farm, going Linken's Sphere/Manta Style is the best choice. but just because a pro player does it in one game dont copy it blindly. understand the pros and cons of getting the items in an order. eventually you will find your own itemization, that suits your play style best. just keep experimenting. and just because a bunch of tards mentioned it on reddit doesnt mean you should take it seriously. if you look at an average reddit post it isnt exactly icefrog talking. 

Vanguard is pretty good on Spectre, it gives you better hp sustain/extra tankiness early so you can farm the jungle as soon as you get it and still be in decent shape to haunt into a fight/gank, and because you can farm the jungle now to supplant your income you don't really have to freeze the lane as much to get as many waves, so you can shove in the lane, force a rotation and your team has better teamfight being 5v4 and can pressure the rest of the map, whilst you are able to keep farming neutral creeps.

Either that or Drum of Endurance on her, Drum of Endurance gives you a little bit of everything but it doesn't give you a huge power spike like I feel Vanguard gives, it will basically solve your early mana problems, and it gives you a little bit of tankiness/damage output but from what I've experienced from going Phase Boots>Drum of Endurance>Radiance is that you have to run out salves after every engage to make sure you're still farming whereasPhase >Vanguard, you will be running out clarities.
