Protective Items Proposed Change

-

    My third attempt to post the compilation of the thread I've made on Official HoN Forum. This time the topic is about items on protective section. Keep in mind this change also includes current item outside the category but proposed to be the one included. 

    I forgot to give an announcement that this post and the previous posts are represented based on version 4.9.2 HoN patch so these kind of posts could have the revised version on future post.

Barrier Idol

Besides Barrier Idol current state, there are proposed changes:

  • Application cooldown heals 20 health per non-DoT magic damage taken.
Thought Process
  • This change is proposed to make application cooldown a feature than a burden.
Daemonic Breastplate

The complete change to the current one.

  • Components: Helm of the Black Legion + Platemail + Recipe (925g) = 4500 gold
  • Stats: 250 health + 10 armor + 6 health regeneration + 50% chance of 80 (40 to ranged user) deflection
  • Passive: -4.5 armor aura & -20% base attack damage to enemy unit in 900 radius to wearer
  • Active: Doubles the armor & damage reduction aura for 14 seconds, the armor reduction also affects building for duration (has 20 seconds cooldown).
Thought Process:
  • This change is proposed to compensate Sol's Bulwark change on previous post while keeping its utility as late-game armor reduction item.
  • The change on components provides Helm of the Black Legion alternative buildup, in addition of sustainability measure because of proposed aura change.
  • The change on aura is proposed to weaken Agility heroes at most because Strength heroes still have high HP in term of survivability and Intelligence heroes still have spell damage in term of offense so they are not weakened as much as Agility heroes.

Lex Talionis

Besides Lex Talionis current state, there are proposed changes:
  • Replaces Ring of the Teacher as component to Scarab and the recipe price is changed to 375 gold (still cost 1200 gold).
  • No longer grants aura and damage but grants 1.5 mana regeneration as stats.
  • Can be upgraded 2 times to grants additional +1.5 armor on stats, +1.5 armor to manipulate on active effect, and at maximum upgrade will enable the active to target structure.
Thought Process:
  • This change is proposed as follow up idea of other suggestions on changing armor manipulation items.
  • This change is proposed to no longer grants aura effect to standardize the team affecting item.

Plated Greaves

Besides Plated Greaves current state, there are proposed changes:

    • Bonus armor & deflection are doubled in first 10 seconds.
    • No longer grants bonus base damage on active effect.
    Thought Process:

    • This change is proposed to make the item focusing on defensive measure more than being well-rounded item.
    • This change also makes the item a weaker version of Ultor's Heavy Helm.  

    Ultor's Heavy Helm

    Besides Ultor's Heavy Helm current state, there are proposed changes:

      Thought Process:

      • This change is proposed as quality of life fix.
      • This change is proposed to make application cooldown a feature than a burden.

      Supportive Items Proposed Changes (Aura)

      -
           Personally, I prefer makes pointer intro as my previous post did than creating this lengthy sentence full of wishy washy words in it before going to the point. As the reason why I chose this type of writing this time is because the default format this blog provides as the front page is a huge mess when it comes to pointer intro as my previous post did. Well, I could choose not to care but let me try this method for the second post and probably it is better this way in long run. This time I compile my suggestion involving aura items as the title of this post stated. Any items outside the category the title has said will be detailed explained on next post with appropriate topic. Dreamcatcher Besides the current state of  Dreamcatcher , there are proposed changes: Complete change on components into Refreshing Ornament ,  Soultrap ,  Fortified Bracer , and 210 gold recipe so the total cost is 2050 gold. Complete change on stats to grant 14 Strength, 10 Agility, and 10 Intelligence. Pr
