Passive: Can be switched on and off.

Applies ''Poisoned'' with SOME single target spells at the cost of 100 extra mana to that spell.

Poisoned effect:
5 ticks of 20 magic damage = 100 magic damage & 15% slow for duration.


Numbers can all be tweaked. Just look at the general idea. I doubt it would get overpowered since it's a effect, and those doesn't stack, and it has a mana cost.

changelog. 1.1
reworked recipe!
Lowered damage

changed to SOME single target spells, not all, should beat the OP problem !

[[ADON]FuzioN]

imo to orginal and takes away slow aspect of the game frome some unique heroes. imo no cuz it would been spammable very as by a support.

imagine this on hag haha epic thou kinda op =)

i rather that you added some blind 100% miss for 3 sec on target unit. and deals damage. than this to be useful against carries.

[Connect]

So what your saying is lose the slow? And add your effect instead?

Oh and hag only has 1 single target nuke. So it's only 200 dmg every 12 seconds. Doesn't seem OP to me.

Usually stat-only items lose alot of their effectiveness late game, you might wana consider reworking the recipe for this. Also seems a bit weird having cheap-mid priced-uber expensive items all in one.

It's also a late game item that provides mostly static damage, which ain't all that useful.

Either way, I can only see it being useable on some heroes

[Connect]

Let me rework the recipe then.

I'm definitely interested in this item. Who would you envision benefiting from it the most? Also, would it have a similar mechanic to frostwolf's skull where it would apply its effects when you use targetted spells?

T-up for interesting addition.

Well i would imagine ANY single target spell. There's a long ass list in Mechanics about which spells are single target. Let me get it.

Wingbow's main selling point was the evasion, but even then it's still pretty useless

That's a valid point, except it's not.

I'm not debating the power of the item, whether I agree with you or not, but simply comparing logic here.

Reworked recipe.

[Nekratal]

doesn't work well with the current coding of a lot of skills.
Vindi ult for example, is a global single target spell. In fact all globals are afaik, at least tb ult is too, making those allready strong globals really too strong.
It would either invoke a recoding or be op as it is now.

edit: and don't forget low cd skills like arma snot. Snot slowing for additional 15% and dealing 200 dmg? O.o
I fear this item is unbalancable. I'll not vote it down since I like the idea of buffing single target spells, I'm tired of the AOE or GTFO trend, but I don't think this is gonna work :>

[Connect]

You are very true about vindi & tb. :O That would possibly be an balance issue. But i guess you change that with some balancing. And for the snot storm i guess you could do something about that by making the ticks less, and effect longer. So same damage, but over a longer time, since the effect doesn't stack it should work?

[Connect]

You could possibly change it to, instead of all single target spells, to a wide range of them?

[Connect]

Bump. =)

[[330s]RUSty_]

I like the concept. It's something unique and something that you would expect an item would fill the skill (like codex = heavy nuke, frostfield = aoe slow, puzzlebox = summon, tablet of command = physical displacer, Poison staff = magic dot.)
While I like the concept I really don't like the buildup. I think the added int/mana pool would be the right way to go but I don't like the sustainer+ogre axe combo. something like Great Arcana + Acolyte's staff + ??? would better suit my taste for this kind of concept (just a friendly suggestion.)

[Connect]

Isn't Great arcana used too much already?

[[UmUb]CSDragon]

Does get +200 damage per cast?

Best TOO BAD ever.

[Connect]

Yeaah i do have to agree with some of you. There could be alot of balance issues, but that could be fixed with balancing. Maybe add a cooldown to the item, something?

[Connect]

Lowered damage some.
