Default [Item]Ancient Hood


Ancient Hood
(image source: wowwiki/Thanks to Aequinox for Borders)
+ +
Sobi Mask 325
Increases mana regeneration by 50%
+
Ultimate Orb 2100
All stats +10
+
Recipe 1175
=

Ancient Hood 3600(total cost)
+100% Mana Regeneration
+15 All Stats
Swap Stats (active)
Swap Stats is an active ability that swaps the strongest and the weakest attribute of any hero.
  • Manacost: 100
  • Cooldown: 30s
  • Duration: 7s
Here some nice selfmade badass Pictures for furter explanation:

BEFORE


AFTERWARDS


In Depth Explanation:
  • Doesn't effect Magic Immune Units
  • Item Attribute effects (i.e. Ultimate Orb) are not beeing swaped
  • If the spell is already active on a hero, the same spell will have the counter effect on that hero (nullfies)
  • Can be used on yourself
  • Can only be used on heroes



Im still uncertain if item-stat-bonuses would be effected as well and if they count in for the "strongest and weakest attribute" check.
I think it could be a very handy item in various situations. Please comment for numbers and idea. Gonna improve the item if there is positive feedback.

Feel free to post better pictures!! I know it doesnt fit well!

Synergys:
__________________________________________________ ____________________


Obsidian Destroyer could get a must-have item against Int-Heroes.

On the other hand it could first swap the intelligence of an agi-or str-hero and then swap the low int with the main attribute = fail of main attribute.
__________________________________________________ ____________________


A huge counter for the heal. Inner Vitality depends on the main attribute with 20/60% which is a lot. (and huskar loves str anyway)
Suggestions:
Effect Change
+5 both affected stats when casted on an ally
-5 both affected stats when casted on a foe

Thinking about an imba Synergy with Destroyer. Every str hero would die with a clap. Same stuff with int heroes.

Maybe I should add a +5 both stats for 7sec if you cast it on an ally and a -5 both stats for 7sec if its an enemy hero.

nice borders, but still un-warcraft-ish icons.

It's far too complicated. What will happen when silencer steals a int when your stats is switched? What will happen if Undying use his decay?

And there's already a lot of formula with orb

It just calculates the difference between the two attributes and subtracts it from the higher one and adds it to the lower one. After the duration it just adds the calculated difference back to the (now) lower one and subtracts the diffrence to the (now) higher one. Its a fixed difference that wont be affected by int-steal-silencer or decay-undying.

and what do you mean with the formula with orb?
