Default [Buff] Ghost Scepter


The current:

Quote:
Originally Posted by Ghost Form

Lasts 4 seconds and has a 25 second cooldown
Proposal:
You can be attacked, but won't lose any hp.

Reasons:
- To be more different from Pugna's Decrepify
- To be used in more ways
- Mindgame
- GS isn't often used
- GS doesn't improve tanking potential that much

Problems:
- Imba?
- Codeable?

Thoughts?

You have regular movement speed with GS.

IMO. I don't think ghost scepter is used for tanking, its for escaping or stopping a attack. Its more of a situational item. I get it whenever I need it. (Like when I'm clockwerk trying to gank a jugg while hes jungling, it can really counter omnislash)

(example, troll is stunlocking you and you use GS, he can't attack you anymore.
Yurnero is omnislashing you in a 1v1 and you use GS to negate it)

null vote. (so you sorta want it like abaddon's aphrotic shield except no explode damage?)

I would prefer a slight buff by decreasing the gold costs (to 1200) or by increasing the stats you gain by it. + 10 would be fine I think.
It is a very situational item. You do not get it often, but it can be useful sometimes.

That's a difference of course, in which GS have one effect less

With this remake it still can counter omnislash and it can be used for tanking too

Yes, but it only applies to normal attacks, not spells.

This is just a buff to make it less situational + more useful + used more often

What about all the things the proc on attack and do magical damage/stun/slow.

and the orb effects that do pure damage.

seems kinda useless. I don't oppose it, but I can't think why, especially if it would be a pain to code being able to attack, but not proc.

I just think Ghost Scepter should be make from recipes not a basic item

But, the skill is already fine.

Sry, T-Down. Pugna's decrifty is more for damaging enemies while this is for surviving...

Default Re: [Buff] Ghost Scepter

Upon using Ghost Scepter:
Create a dummy unit with 1000000hp, attach it to the user or make it move with the user.
When someone attempt to attack the user (not spells), make that one attack the dummy unit.
Remove the dummy unit and the trigger after the affect wears off.

=> No damage to the user
And stop worrying about those things, stick to the idea men

Nah. This doesn't need a buff, but rather some follow-up item like Talisman Evasion has a follow-up item of Butterfly.
I'd rather go that way.

Pratically will stay the same in terms, but would fit greatly for mind games.
But, until i see a trigger that could do that i think is pretty unmakeable ^^

Change is small and senseless, nobody will attack you when he sees the grafics.
If you even want to remove the grafics.. even more tdown, then it will not even be a bit of a ghost scepter, just a +10000 armor buff like omni ulti.
