Default [ITEM] Ghast's Waning Lance





Ghast's Waning Lance

4500

Brought From:
Arcane Sanctum

It is said that the wielders and victims of this lance made from witchcraft will have their souls devoured the next time they sleep.



+21 Damage
+7 All Stats
20 percent to deal an extra 120 magical damage
Ghost Strike (Passive, Buff Placer)






Ghost Scepter (1500)


Javelin (1500)


Recipe (1500)


Ghost Strike
--Places a Ghost Strike negative buff on the target that was struck (units, heroes, ancients, buildings)
--The unit placed with the negative buff will have their magic resistance reduced by 6 percent (stackable up to 6 times)
--Buff lasts 15 seconds
--Like MKB, it will intefere with some ranged passives like Headshot and Frost Arrow, including MKB itself

When this item came to my mind, I instantly thought of one character: Barathrum. But after a while, I started to come up with some more characters in mind such as Sniper, Lion, Lina, Venomancer (If you skip the passive buff placer). It would be a good weapon for any character that has lifesteal, and also if he or she is laning with a nuker like Zeus.

Combos:
Sniper w/ Sharpnel - Harass, then Ult
Barathrum - Charge, Attack, then Ult
Lion - Vodoo, Attack, Impale, Attack, then Ult
Lina - Stun, Attack, Ult
Akasha - Blink, AoE Nuke, Slow Nuke, Attack and chase, Finish with Ult
Invoker - Cold Snap, Attack, Forge Spirit, Attack, Alacrity, Attack, Meteor, etc
-- Invoker would be insanely powerful with this


Pros:
-Provides use for Ghost Scepter
-INT hero's carry item (for the ones who cant disable)
-Great Combos with
-Will stack with Lifesteal (Lifesteal is Orb only)
-Makes it easier to kill an enemy for you AND your teammates

Cons:
-Weak Damage
-Enemy must be attacked a few times in order to deal large nuke damage
-Doesn't disable like the Guinsoo's/Orchid/Eul's

Other thoughts:
-The Ghost form is lost, but not really if you think of it as instead reducing the victim's magic resistance instead of your own

So is nobody really going to give ANY feedback?
I want to know how people think of it? Is it imbalanced/Overpowered? Does it help early game harassers too much? Does it not have much effect in a DoTA game? Or does it not being in the game of DoTA?
