So basically it gives 60-0-0 damage right? The only other use for this would be by Silencer, Morph, Destroyer and Pudge (others?). Would also disadvanteage Int type heroes against nerub.

This.



What's the point of adding stats if you remove their effects? just the damage? if yes, then well, get a freaking Sacred Relic, it's only 800 gold more expensive and can be upgraded into two items.

[LEM0NS]

damage from stats is better than just pure damage, for one thing images can use, for another its increased by command aura.

Personally I kinda like this item.

[Fate Trap]

I like it... Since some stats based dudes need something of their own...

[jesusatan]

Quite an unique item. Perfectly makes sense and another must have for heroes with illusions. T-up

[cp14]

it gives 60-60-60 damage plus technical stats. I could see its use on stat reliant heroes such as silencer, obsidian, riki, etc.

edit:
I have a question. Since illusions do not benefit from raw damge, are they affected by the - damage? if not then this is viable on illusion hjeroes

Hmm. Never thought of it that way. But in that way I think it to be too overpowered for it's price range, maybe increase the recipe cost a bit. T-null for now.

[Yosukea]

I like this item. T-up

[Pingus!]

Spanish FTW.
It is a good item for illusion using heroes ( Nessaj, Naga, PL,) since the illusions will benefit from it also.

And yes it means the same in Spanish.

[Straight Flush]

t-up! Illusion heroes aren't seen too competitively these days since they can't keep up with range.

I hate drow >.<

[Sven2k]

interesting item t-up

[wd.Ripper]

I really like the overall idea of this item. Same way i like powertreads. Numbers can be tweaked a little imo though. This item would make Heart completely useless, even more than it is now.

Um, you serious? How would it make heart weaker? If this item is turned on STR, you actually don't gent any benefit beside the +str. You have the same hp you had before and regen too. Same applies for other forms.

This item is, I mus say, very innovative. It would be, certainly very good for heroes whose skills you have mentioned. This would just awesome on Huskar and Sven. But the numbers should be reduced IMO. Like +40 to the chosen stat and bonuses tweaked accordingly.

Anyway, concept itself is very good, I support this.

This may be imbal for illusion as they do new 'benefit' from raw IAS. In another word, the -60% IAS does not affect them at all and thus the illusion would have +60 dmg and +60 IAS.

I think it can be solved, as Illusions benefit from Endurance Aura, so the -IAS could be based on this. If it would work, Illusions would have same AS as hero.

Only in Chaos Knight's case. Most of the times illusions don't deal 100% damage.
Thanks.
