Arcane Ring

Current:

Quote:

Replenish Mana
Restores 135 mana in a 600 AoE
Costs 25 mana, and has a 30 second cooldown

Proposal:

Quote:

Bestow Mana
Increases max mana by 135 in a 600 AoE without increasing affected units' current mana
Cap of 330
The increase of max mana stacks additively and lasts until the affected unit's mana is lower than its max mana without the increase from this skill
Restores 135 mana in a 600 AoE
Costs 25 mana, and has a 30 second cooldown

By the way, it doesn't affect enemies and when the increase in max mana ends, affected units won't lose mana because of the decrease.

t-up,

rarely used

Redeemed A.I. · 03-30-2010, 12:03 PM

Interesting.I give null for now,because I'm not 100% sure what its consequences will be.

When I read more ideas I will t-up or t-down.Higher possibility to t-up though

The idea is that you can use it to store more mana. Just simple as that.

Harbringer will love this, just as much as all heroes will.

The only reason I see to use this is in conjunction with chakra/soulring/etc. I imagine this sorta being "use early, fight later" but I imagine it more so for another item or remake the replenish ability into another item...

I also don't know. Increase max mana is a problem. Why IceFrog can not accept a buff like no manacost or lower recipe cost?

Actually, this suggestion makes a big difference. People use the current Arcane Ring to replenish mana, which means that the item isn't used when they have full (or nearly full) mana, thus wasting the precious cooldown. With this suggestion, there will be more ways to use Arcane Ring.

I should put a cap on it though.

As you requested.
I think 330 is enough.

OK, added.

T-mid ...can't understand is it imba or not

Monsterlord · 06-24-2010, 05:23 PM

I kind of like this if I'm being honest.

The only issue I see is, if it improves your max mana, and the bonus is lost when your mana reaches it's base maximum, how will you ever get the buff to work? As soon as you use it, your mana is already at the base maximum, because it doesn't get increased.

Yeah but you have to consider, its uses are limited without some level of regen (which would be nice via arcane ring

) so really the max buff DOES have limited uses. I like the idea but I don't see it fitting with many heroes even after the remake :|

Captain Planet · 06-25-2010, 03:38 AM

Interesting. Could be useful, but I think Arcane Ring just needs a buff in it's bonuses, like perhaps some passive mana regen to make it more appealing. Like 50% mana Regen, 4 armour, 300 mana and Replenish mana.

Uh... What would this even DO? You get more max mana, so what? Absolutely no one would get the item then. It's a huge nerf to an already weak item. Don't understand that at all.

If anything, make it increase max mana AND give some regular mana too. Just increasing max is entirely useless.

Please seriously consider buying a pair of glasses.

And please give your 1337th post to this thread.

@kitchen: My brother is a lazy bum so he just copied and pasted the original effects right below the suggested ones

I haven't thought about other heroes but I know that Barathrum and Magnataur will weep tears of joy.
