Should take effect after they hit you. D2ftw!

[Borkenbaum]

Plz state if this is melee only or ranged too.
Why should it take effect after hitting? Should it be a realism or balancing issue ^^

Think this could be used in more than just this single item, are you already thinking of an additional recipe containing this item?

Might be a nice combination with hotbl afking creepwaves to death ^^

Reduced cost to 350

I loved the first items (Surge of the atom) t-up. And i added a poll to the Titanshell.

I like it. Works as a counter against fast-attacking melee heroes - especially the impale. If an int hero could tank themselves up a little bit, it could be a game-winning item in some cases.

Also - things like Arcane hide, that reduce incoming damage by a high %, and heroes that have moves like that, could benefit greatly even doing a bit of "tanking" or "counter-ganking"

I like it, Thumbs up.

EDIT: I would make it work on ranged too, though. Its costly, but could be a very effective anti-harass item if it worked on ranged. Also, you need to specify what kind of damage it deals. True?

no recipe just do it like that

+2 armor returns 10 damage when attacked

this has amazing potential to bring new items

[docterj208]

no recipe just do it like that

Not sure what you are referring to, but this is a basic item suggestion. The suggested item recipes are just ideas I threw out there since someone asked for them (can't remember who)

Needs moar :IronBuckler: XD

jk I like it.

[TOOBADITSME_]

I think it should be like the buckler. has a CHANCE to deal damage back...

IN FACT

reworking...
I think it should cost 950 and be

:IronBuckler: + :Punchdagger: + recipe(200g) = spiked shield thingy


It shouldn't get armor bonuses but should have a chance, just like buckler, to block and return damage to melee heroes...


I don't necessarily like my suggestion... it just came to mind though you would enjoy seeing it maybe possibly... if that is too expensive try buckler and a recipe... or a base item that has the effects stated in this post that costs around 500.

Yeah, I wouldn't want this item to replace buckler though, but, it could be a chance to reduce and return damage rather than a straight damage return like barbed armor.

However, I think this item works better as another small bonus armor item (since there is very little that the + 2 armor item is used in)

[Tech_no]

Hahaha just saying thats a diablo 2 spiked shield but I really like the idea... how about doing something like this::IronShield:+:BastardSword:=:goldenshield:

a more expensive version of the item

or if u wanna stick with the orignal idea have a brand new +5damage weapon combine with:IronBuckler:= something like a return 15 damage. +whatever defensive modifier you'd like to add.

So, do these things stack? Imho they should stack. Would make jungling easier on certain heroes and harassing will become harder to do. I guess it does work against ranged heroes too?
