Dota 2 - Bane Build Guide

BIO
When the gods have nightmares, it is Bane Elemental who brings them. Also known as Atropos, Bane was born from the midnight terrors of the goddess Nyctasha. A force of terror too powerful to be contained by sleep, he surfaced from her slumbers, fed upon her immortality, and stole his vaporous form from her inky blood. He is the essence of fear. Mortals who hear his voice hear their darkest secrets whispered in their ear. He calls to the hidden fear in every Hero's heart. Wakefulness is no protection, for Bane's black blood, continuously dripping, is a tar that traps his enemies in nightmare. In the presence of Bane, every Hero remembers to fear the dark.

Why take Enfeeble for level 1? You need this to make your opponent in lane hard to last hit / deny.

Why maxed Brain Sap first?  This is your main nuke, you will need this for ganking and killing onr early and mid game.

Why maxed Enfeeble before Nightmare?  One level of Nightmare is enough for early-mid game, and Enfeeble will benefit the most if you cast this on their physical attacker on early-mid game because the reduced damage will be so low and make him can't attack your team.

STRATEGY
Early Game
You can take any lane you want, top, mid, or bot, it's up to you and your team. You can solo or you can accompany your partner in the lane. Bane is quiet a strong early-game hero, on the early game is his maximum potential, you can control the lane easily here. You have enfeeble to make your enemy damage reduced so he can't last hit / deny or even harass you.
You have Brain Sap to harass your enemy and also recover your HP.  Because of the Brain Sap's high damage, you can also gain early kills. If you want to do so, better to ask your friend to help because it will make your job easier.
You can also become a support hero for the team by buying wards, it will give vision to the team and help your team void enemy's gank.

Mid Game
Once you get your ultimate, you're ready to gank. Your ultimate is so strong especially on the early stage of the game, it make the target can'y move while receiving some damage, so your partner can easily harass him.
If you gank 2 heroes, use Nightmare for one of them, and then use your ultimate on the other, your friend can easily harass the targetted enemy, and then you can use Brain Sap too if the target still alive.
The key to use Bane is to precisely click on the right target, use your eyes carefully, and then click the desire enemy to maximize your skill potential. Practice makes perfect, so always practice your click is a good way to improve your precision of using a single targetted spell.
