I love what you have written so far. Very informative for amateur like myself. I especially appreciate your in-depht explanation on team composition and item choice. Looking forward to your updates!
Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it! Though a work in progress, I intend to provide as much information as I can in this guide while still working around my exam schedule. I'm aiming on at least a large update a week to help everyone experience what is, in my opinion, a Godly character!

I really want to try breaking point now on Glaive as I usually always go bonesaw.
Might give it a try but I find the disadvantage with BP is that I wouldn't stay in a fight long enough to stack up. I usually act as the instigator, run in, attack someone, wait till they retreat and afterburn them back in, retreat myself and then go back in the fight when the focus has switched.
OK! If you're problem is that you're not staying in the fight long enough, there are a couple of workarounds! I also see this as a disadvantage and believe it needs to be worked on. It's very rare I get above 10 stacks in a fight due to VG's fast paced fights.
1) Tornado Trigger - With the huge AS increase, you build BP stacks at a huge speed ensuring stacks to build in many situations.
2) Build Tankier - This will allow you to stay in the fight, without the need to switch focus, for longer; allowing you to build stacks for longer.
3) Critical Chance - If you build crit, whenever Glaive crit hits, he will attack in a cone. This cone (I believe - Don't quote me on this XD) attacks multiple enemies so builds multiple stacks.

Yes, as Hydraxis_Ph1r3 pointed out, it adds +1 stack of (5%) critical damage and (5%) critical chance per second per attack (stacking up to 20) losing a stack for every second you do not attack. I find this gradually becoming more of a key item as it links very well with Glaive's passive. The stronger the critical damage and chance, the stronger Glaive's passive is. This provides huge AoE damage capable of clearing an entire minion wave while taking on enemies.
Good Guide and I have to say a big help for starting glaive players and what they should and could do with him, for being a WIP it's a great guide. Also to answer your question on breaking point, did you click on the item? But here's a quick rundown of what it does : for every second you attack an enemy (except minions) you gain a stack which increases critical damage and crit ever since the new update as of now. You can get up to 20 stacks and 1 stack per second fighting a hero.
OK! First Off, thanks for answering POLABEAR. You are completely right with breaking point and I'm sure POLABEAR would be grateful. I was studying hard and forgot to check the guide in a few days... Oops!
Secondly, thanks for the feedback! Great to see people interact and help. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to pitch in, it's always appreciate! :D

No thanks, a meat feast is much better accustomed for Glaive ;)

How does breaking point work?
