Cube of the Pariah

4213

Bought From :
Supportive Vestments

Used by ancient oppressors to banish social outcasts and nonconformists, this device has been reused by the warriors of this era to make oneself untouchable.

Pariah Aura

• +5 HP regeneration
• 550 AoE

Ethereal Exile

• Makes you and your allies within an area unable to attack or be attacked, but take 35% extra damage from spells
• Effect ends on a unit if it becomes magic immune, and will have no effect if a unit is already magic immune
• Lasts 4 seconds and has a 30 second cooldown
• Does not work on structures and mechanical units
• 650 AoE
• Shares cooldown with Ghost Scepter and Ethereal Blade

Perfectly counters Agi dps heroes.
Incredibly boost enemy nukers.
Very situational item.
It would be good upgrade for int nukers, which buys a ghost scpeter to survive. Instead of selling it, buy this. ^^

Update:

• Changed all attribute increase from 14 to 16

Please kindly give ideas on how to improve this item. Thank you.

change ethereal exile to Banish. sounds better IMO

as for the item: seems interesting but situational

[Padsoldier]

35% is not codeable, if it is set at 35%, then every other banish has to be set at that value.
If -disablehelp counters it then T-up. A powerful regeneration aura is needed in the game.

[Straight Flush]

^Well technically it can be coded but instead of setting the Ethereal value at 0.44 you add bonus magic resistance to make it equal 35% bonus damage instead.

It seems like a nice idea, although I prefer Mr. Foxxie's Netherplane Orb more. Mainly since it's more offensively oriented but that's just my opinion.

T-Up anyway

Thanks for the percentage tip but can Straight Flush's idea on how it will be done to make it work? I hope a Programming guy pass by here and confirm it.

Update:

• Added note regarding -disablehelp

Imagine this with Khadgar's pipe of insight--->weak version of Guardian angels.

It codable.

Instead of making the units ethereal to disable their attacks and increase the magic damage, they units can have their have attacks disabled the same way as Deafening Blast and have their magic resistance reduced the same way as Natural Order or Ice Vortex.

t-up? idk

Thanks for confirming.

The ethereal state increases magical damage done to you by 40%. Unless you plan on suggesting a change from 40% -> 35%
Oh nvm so planning on triggered banish
damn SN0W37 -_-
well anyway I don't really think 5% is that much
But still nice item idea

[PuЪLiㄷEиəℳy#1]

Any other suggestions for this?

[ensnare]

Good one bud. I wonder where the 'Pariah' thing comes from?

[twoeyedyum]

'Pariah' = "untouchable". Almost anywhere in games/fimls/books it's used as is - 'Pariah' is either ugly persona, or someone, who lives differently from main socium. For example, in WH40K 'Pariah' is Necron unit, anti-psyker ("something with negative amount of soul").

Nice suggestion. Good that you added -disablehelp, as this can be quite annoying.

[KiReNnA~!]

This item is pretty neat! I love situational items

[Sucow]

I think there shouldnt be no disable help for this item.
Imagine that one nuker make this item then the carrier just use disable help, and in the middle of a big fight all the nukers of the team are banished but the carrier, so all the assists are protected and using skills while the carrier is not banished and dpsing the enemy team.
It should take timing and skills , the carrier , tank should know how to position and the user has to know when to use to not break the dpsing of the team.
T-down for disable help the item should require more skills
and T-up for the whole concept and idea =)

pariah - Wiktionary

[Fire525]

I quite like the concept, but as Sucow has said, the addition of disable help actually makes this item incredibly powerful. I personally believe that disable help should be removed from this item, by virtue of the fact that it can keep your casters alive (Which isn't an issue, because that's what the item is supposed to do), but also allows your carry to keep attacking even when they shouldn't be able to.

Otherwise though, the item seems fairly balanced and I can't think of anything that really needs to be changed with it balance wise. Ethereal Exile sounds more like a singular title though, so perhaps change the name of that to something that better suits the idea of an AoE banishment.
