knucklebones is S+ tier now kek

 

1. Knucklebones:
2. 25% -> 0 Melee Damage
3. 0 -> 2 Attack Speed Bonus (1-3)
4. Reasoning: No one realistically used knucklebones for melee so here’s a tiny buff to give it more reason to be used, at all really.

EXCUSE ME WHAT?!?!?!
This makes Knuckblebones godlike lol

(also what does the 1-3 mean behind the changes?)

 

For everyone going crazy about the Knucklebones buff, it still requires finding one with +3 tier (6%), good lifesteal, and then countering -600 lifesteal.

 

the range of numbers that you can roll for that ID

 

When will pandemonium get a buff lmao

 

attack speed increases spell dmg.
spell dmg doesn't care for negative life steal or mana steal.

33% loot/xp + elemental dmg + exploding

this is going to be a spell build staple
im a tard

 

uh how long have you been away?

 

attack speed bonus ID do not increase spell damage multiplier

 

Nah that's definitely not how it works or else tier items would be in literally every build, and it's not

EDIT: Sniped by two people, dang

 

too long apparently

 

Praesidium gaming

 

I realized now you just massively buffed one of my builds...
also maybe I'm crazy but I feel like I didn't see many unique and rares on the health re balance. Did I miss that or are you going to balance them more in the future? or perhaps are they already inline the the health curve and mostly staying as they are?

 

Same for me, my melee build I've been working on for ages now just got buffed into oblivion with the knucklebones boost rofl

 

Is Slider's raw melee penalty intended to be as small as it is? Always seemed a little strange.

 

Now I've finally calmed down from laughing at insane examplebuilds and came back to my senses, I do think that the +3 attack speed on knucklebones is a bit too insane, if the +3 attack speed tiers would be brought down to +2 attack speed tiers, I wouldn't think that knucklebones would be op as hell anymore, in my opinion it would be pretty balanced and still a very good item then.

 

you might be able to counter the -ls in a few ways, but you wont get rid of the -ms, meaning you cant sprint and your movement/cc spells are greatly limited
also you cant have 2 as a max due to how id rolls works, it's shitty but still a thing to consider

 

Technically you can counter the mana steal, it's just not a good idea.

(Lunar Spine Knucklebones time)

 

left that out since tier stack lunar spine hmm

 

missed that thanks :)
