Singing Blade

Description
+ 46 Damage
+ Passively gives a 50% chance to launch a "sound wave" in front of you dealing 30% weapon damage. The wave travels 150-200 units and has a 50-75 unit radius.

Concept
There seemed to be a trend to streamline items in general (shieldbreaker, wingbow, ring of sorcery) and I think that Runed Cleaver stand in the shadow of it's former glory. Put it simply, this would derive players from the standard Sustainer to double Broadswords by giving a little bit of flexibility in the build. (Now leads up to Savage Mace instead of Runed Cleaver)

- Not 100% chance to land a proc.
- Stacking will only increase the chance of the proc, not the damage it deals.
- This is an overall 15% damage increase to your DPS, plus 4 damage for the combination.

-----

Changelog

- Changed recipe from 2x Broadsword to Broadsword + Hammer + Recipe.

Problem with the build-up is that it's also a part of Runed Axe, creating difficulties when trying to build that item.

[[Faux]CrashLemon]

Well, the whole point is to lead up to Runed Axe. This would allow for a choice between Sustainer or Singing Blade early on.

[[IaF]Skyve]

But Runed Axe (actually cleaver now) is already pretty cheap and bought more than enough on the heroes it has always been good on - the problem lies more in that hardcarries aren't as viable as they used to be.

That said I wouldn't mind more midgame items for rightclickers. I just don't think that making this part of Runed Cleaver is the way to go about it.

[[Faux]CrashLemon]

I changed it to build up to Savage Mace, but it seems to me that it's a bit expensive for a mid game item. What do you think?

[MingDay]

I like the concept. More mid game damage option for Melee carries. I do have two questions though; you said the damage type for the sound wave is physical, so therefore it would affect shrunken headed target and also subject for damage reduction from armor correct? And how will this item behave for range heroes? If the proc chance is the same for range this seems to be the range Runed Cleaver and we all know that would be bad.
