Items: Round 2

[assassingao]

Maybe make an active skill out of them, that doubles their effects for X seconds?

[LightburneR]

Timelock Armlet

• Remove all conditions on the user for X seconds and grant Immunity to all conditions for Y seconds. After Y seconds, inflict all conditions removed for Z% (more than 100) of their original durations.

Absorber

• Inflicts the condition that was last inflicted onto youself onto the target for X seconds.

???

• Whenever a condition ends, you become Immune to that condition for X seconds

Against popular belief, turning everything into an active skill does not make it more fun or more useful.

It just helps Seta out.
And rawr, thanks for the card <33

Quick Idea before I go to bed...

Masochist's Trinket: Increases all physical damage taken by X (25?)%, but also returns that much to the attacking unit.

[Rising_Dusk]

A custom thorns item for a specific damage type could actually be quite cool.

[Fulla]

I think I suggested these type of items before a while ago. But basically items that gain bonuses from attacking targets with conditions. Allows alot more interaction & combo's between heroes.

Amputator:
+X damage (can be something else like agility etc.)

Deals +Y damage if target is bleeding.
or
Deals +Y% of targets current health in damage if target is bleeding
or
Gain +Y% damage for Z seconds, if you attack a bleeding target.
or
Gain +Y% attack speed for Z seconds, if you attack a bleeding target.

Fire Rod:
+X intelligence (can be something else like mana etc.)

Gain +Y mana if target is burning
or
Extend Burn on target by +Y seconds (Possibly also steal/claim burn as your own for hero killing purposes).

These are just random examples, the names & effects obviously should be altered & improved.
But something along these lines could work out great.

[Deschain]

I still think they really don't have any potential for seeing use even if they can be upgraded. I mean, 50% more cripple/mute is ridiculous, 66% stun reduction may as well be immunity with Crown. I see some... Issues, in that way of thinking.

I never suggested the numbers but I see what you mean. Still there should be atleast one enhancer for each condition type.

[Rising_Dusk]

And there always will be, Des, in Crown of the Ages.

You had, but I'm hesitant because they enforce the same limited usability as the booster items. I mean, they're only really plausible items for heroes that wield the respective conditions (effectively), which sort of defeats the purpose of items. I'm a believer that these items should be viable options for any of the heroes. Granted, some heroes don't deal physical damage, so they can't use, say, Dragonfang Trident, but a vast number can. I can count on one hand the number of heroes in the map that wield bleed in such a manner to make an item requiring it useful.

Also, I don't want to just repeat effects with different conditions for their use. That's pretty boring.

Eternity's arms
Any conditions applied by the hero has X% chance to be extended by Y/Y% seconds.

Useful for any hero, except Anick, boo.

Will of the Weak
The hero has increased movespeed for each/any condition suffered.

Fearbind
Any damage done by this hero (to units with condition, of course) has X% chance to burn Y mana as well.

[Fulla]

Ah yes, but you only need 1 guy on your team to apply that specific condition for your items to gain bonuses.
Granted this may be to situational, there can ofcourse always be hydrid items such as:

Kroeger Blade:
Grants +4 Agility

If you attack a target with bleed, you gain +15% attack speed for 5 seconds
If you attack a target with burn, you gain +15% damage for 5 seconds.

Ofcourse this is just a completely random example, where I just threw in some stats.
I truly do think it has alot of potential thou, where you can look at your team, do a bit of thinking & see which conditions can be created, then pick 1 of these items accordingly.
Heroes can also pair up nicely, like say Rose & Arrow Kree, Rose with this item could have great benefits in that situation.

Several hydrids are possible, combining alot of different conditions, encouraging more teamwork.

[Rising_Dusk]

You're right, but it's one thing to combo with a team mate, it's another thing entirely to rely upon them. I'll give it some thought, though, mayhaps I could snake a single item of that type in for a common condition, but I'd by no means make 8 of them spanning all conditions.

[Sabertooth]

Cuirass of Recoil
Whenever you are stunned or knocked down, so are all enemies around you.

[LightburneR]

Soultwined Brooch

• Links X units in a chain. Whenever a unit in the chain suffers from a condition, it is reduced to X% and Y% of the duration is applied to all units in the chain.

Yay Spirit Link!

Voodoo Doll

• Extends all conditions the target is suffering by 1 every second whilst channelled.

Broken Bone Blade

• Increases your attack damage by X% for each conditions you suffer from, and an additional Y% if you suffer from Maim.

Could be with any bonus or condition.

[VZManticoran]

Perhaps something that causes conditions for, say, 25 or 50% of their duration whenever it is inflicted on you around you, with the cost that conditions last 25 or 50% longer on you as well.
