Lowered the duration and slow. Thanks.

Nice, nice :O but i think both skills are quite overpowered. I suggest to make Critical Maim recover speed gradually (Like Open Wounds), and the same for Cracking's enfeebling power; make it gradually return your increased damage.

If not, that'd simply counter every single carry on.. almost every single hero xD
Also, note that both Critical Maim and Cracking are buff-placers. (still i think there's no trouble with that, as one of them is active; the issue appears to be placing 2 buffs on a single attack)

Done. Thanks

That was the point of this suggestion anyway.

Yes there's no problem.

Sure. But I don't know if mods allow that.

Idea of the sword is nice. However relying on eliminating only bonus damage is a bit weak. I mean I've played Slark for example who had 150-170 damage if I remember right out of which only 12 was bonus damage ( I had a basilius and 2 bracers + thread STR) . Your weapon wouldn't have saved you from the horror.

Make it remove 75% of ALL damage. Make it last 6 seconds and the rest is perfect. That is quite disabling. You can't run and you can't fight

[cc.jmk!]

That may be too much :/

That is game breaker, not sword breaker

[FlaMe]

The idea is good.The active is okay.But I will not T-up until you add crit to this item.It doesn't make any sense that an item with crystalys does not give a crit!

so my proposed idea:

Critical Maim:
Gives a 25% chance on attack to critical strike an opponent for 1.75x Damage & slow movement speed by 50% for 5 seconds
Affected unit gets 10% movement speed back every second
Orb effect

Though it will be exactly like jinada then.

Anyways the skill has 'critical' in it it will well balance it.
And for not making this item imba I suggest you either completely remake or nerf the active skill.

[cc.jmk!]

It would be quite more powerful than Crystalis with 25% 1.75 crit :P that's a lot ! xD
Still.. i like your comparison with Jinada.. why not give it a similar.. CD-based effect instead of a chance? (together with Swordbreak)

Don't even start it ...

No. Yasha doesn't have chance-based passive skill, so Manta style doesn't. Sange has chance-based passive skill, so this suggestion does.

[OzanGuner]

Thumps up for this idea, very creative.

[DyDevil]

imo the active is still a bit weak. But it's a nice idea overall.

[VEGAS_DETKA]

Great item - I would say perfect!
But will never come true unless massive tweak, too imba, would be overused, too easy receipt also.

[DemonSpade]

I liek the concept, but Bane's enfeeble is a hell lot better, for the price its too weak. Change your icon too

Really, 9 people 10 opinions.

Change your icon too

Huh?

[The-Beholder]

Decent item but with a crazy expensive build for a minimal return, and a semi-worthless orb unfortunately.

T-Down, but it's CLOSE to being good.

Lol 9 people 10 opinions.
Some thinks it's overpowered, some thinks it's underpowered
Confusing.
