Why Echo Saber is bad on PA. in General Discussion

    It does no damage.

    It's not 'cheap' as many people insist it is, you could get a basher for its price.

    The double attack is counted in her blink strike, meaning instead of hitting 4 attacks in 1.5 seconds, u hit 4 times in like 1.3 seconds, amazing difference.

    The cooldown on echo saber is the same as her blink strike, so basically you buy the item for a slightly faster blink strike everytime :)

    all the morons theorycrafting this on her without even using their tiny fucking brains fuck you fuck you FUCKING PA PICKERS IN MY 5K GAMES RUSHING THIS BULLSHIT

    BUT ITS GOOD MANA REGEN

    ay fuck you get an aquila or go bfury

      yeah
      that's exactly what i thought
      i see echo PA in top mmr game but i see no sense

      pa's got even a built in slow

      Soultrap

        Basher deals no damage too.

        Try new Diffusal instead.

        Dragfisnight

          Basher is stil viable though atleast if you go into abysal

          Soultrap

            Diffusal is very cost-efficient item now. Also you can think about it that way: each dagger you throw burns 40 mana from your target and if you jump in you can quickly burn remaining mana leaving victim helpless.

              ^d'ah... u just blink strike, drop ur item, attack, pick it up.

              Easy damage.

              PA saber indeed isn't optimal. I like the idea of diffuse on her though, combined with manta. Pretty good build against the Bloodthorn (?) aswell if that got picked up by someone.

              nami

                but you dont crit with diffusal lmao

                pa is pa because of her ability to burst down heroes, you dont build agi nor aspd on her because she scales most with damage thanks to blinkstrike negating the need for aspd

                yeah there are funny builds like mom or sny but honestly why pick pa if u want those items, get a slark or ursa

                Trodlabundin

                  Why do u compare PA to Slark and Ursa? Only thing they share is that they are ADC.

                  TripleSteal-

                    arent pa crits pseudo random tho?

                    Soultrap

                      @carry
                      That extra damage from stun procs doesn't crit either. So... Basher gives you only 10 damage for 2700 gold.

                      TripleSteal-

                        how does a double attack rly matter for a passive with pseudo random distribution

                        arin

                          honestly what hero do you buy this item on
                          i don't understand at all what icefrog meant by this

                          Soultrap

                            If only that double attack could proc from dagger (double dagger, lol)... Dreams...

                            Totentanz to The King: M ...

                              It's fine on Naix I guess, and some other heroes like WK and maybe Tiny? I don't know, it's honestly a totally random item, I have no idea what Icefrog was thinking.

                              Soultrap

                                @arin
                                Double attack is great on Slark, so he can steal stats faster. Also I heard that it's good on Spirit Breaker and Tiny (because they have very slow attack), but haven't seen that yet, so I can't tell exactly.

                                ^Oh, yes, Lifestealer too! Makes sense...

                                  pretty decent on bloodseeker, you can land your blood rite easily. I think the 0.6 second move slow is the the main point of this item, its like you maim every 5 seconds, just my $0.02.

                                  nami

                                    what the hell are you on about, im saying pa is DIFFERENT from slark and ursa and stuff like manta/diff/sny/eos and whatever shit isnt good on her like it is on them and people wanting to theorycraft stuff shld just use those items on those herores instead

                                    and idk wat you're talking about triple

                                    @soultrap ya so both items give 10 dmg, which should i get, the useless echo sabre or an item that stuns thru bkb and can be built into smth later hmm

                                      I said that Basher is BAD and Echo Sabre is also BAD, but Diffusal is GOOD.

                                        copy envy's pa and all problem solved.

                                        arin

                                          i think i can see why it might be good but i still can't think of a situation where'd i'd buy it instead of other normal items

                                          Mc Kenzy

                                            every ppl has own playstyle
                                            if u dont like it just report

                                            Dire Wolf

                                              Troll fucking warlord friends. It's a good item but terrible on heroes who get limited number of attacks effects like PA and ursa. I don't know if it's good or bad on slark, he kinda does benefit a lot from the mana regen and if you skip aquila it's not that more expensive.

                                              jo~


                                                LUL

                                                Filthy

                                                  I don't know if I will ever build it honestly . If I want more attacks I'll buy a hyper stone instead and upgrade into a moon shart later .

                                                  Filthy

                                                    Suppose slark could use it instead of an Aquila though .

                                                    nami

                                                      its actually really costly for what it does

                                                      nami

                                                        y do u need a slow on slark when u have pounce

                                                        Filthy

                                                          Don't think Sven can use it since he runs out of item slots too fast . If it was upgradable into something else could be really great on Sven .

                                                          Metallicize

                                                            its upgradeable into ur mom ( ̄ل͜ ̄)

                                                            Filthy

                                                              Maybe allow two Sabres to be combined for a triple hit and 1.2 second slow . I would build the shit out of that .

                                                                    nami

                                                                      nami

                                                                        maybe naix since drums is horrible now

                                                                        nami

                                                                          BSJ. LGD

                                                                            Ce commentaire a été édité

                                                                                first 2 hit will apply 0.6 sec 100% MS and AS slow.
