DotA Player's Thread (We love this game)

?_? that confused me, so lemme reply with this...

damage from blademail is magic type (...sez a previous poster) so the damage reduction is based on the magic resistance of the hero; if he has defiance, it'll probably help.

your armor reduces ANY incoming damage (DUH!) be it magic OR physical. pure damage and chaos damage inflict 100% damage on enemies, despite their armor; in other words, it ignores armor.

with the mercurial's desolator... er... all i know is that i adds and deals PURE damage to a lone enemy. so if mercurial hunts at early game, she'll be one heck of an enemy.

Im guessing our asking if Blademail returns the damage before or after reduction is applied...

if so then it returns after reduction...

as for mercurial's desolate it deals 15/25/35/45 damage the ignores damage reduction, then your attack damage which is reduced...

so, basically, when mercurial got attacked, it will desolate for [desolate percentage] x full damage inflicted by enemy, and the mercurial take damage reduced by armor?

oh... that's not desolate... that's disperse...

disperse work like this...

Take damage --> take 20% of the damage after reduction --> Deal the 20% in a 1000 AoE

I think it was more like this...

ex.

damage = 100

if damage is dealt to mercurial with lvl 4 dispersion...

all enemies in a 1000 AoE radius of mercurial will receive 20% of the dealt damage. therefore...

20% of 100 is 20 = enemy gets 20 damage.

Rober2 is correct

mercurial's dispersion can't be reduced for this skill is pure damage,u must undertake 20% damage u deal to mercurial.Blademail is also pure damage when actived.so the calculation is rely on the damage u deal to mercurial or blademail heroes.

1/2 Wrong... blademail is magic damage... if blademail was pure then it would have to bee removed due to Imbaness

Well, even if it's pure, you can just not attack the person while its active.

yep, basically if you he has more health than you and he activates blademail, you'll be killing yourself. which would make it too imba

with magic damage, it gives a big reduction making it a bit balance

Try telling that to axe... He'll just laugh at you...

Shame Abbadon doesnt have something like berserker call, Blademail, Call and Borrowed Time XD

Hurts the enemy and heals Abbadon rofl

sorry for my wrong post before.i don't use Agi heroes much.

*LOL* if abbaddon have something like that,he will be invincible for 5 second!

He already is with his awesome SS :)

too bad his ulti is too situational... all enemies have to do when you enter borrowed time is ignore you...

but is they have Heavy AoE damage then abadon is happy

when abbaddon's ult is active that means axe can use his SS to kill him,XD

pretty same reaction as having blademail :P

that's cause borrowed time is a reverse effect blademail

actually its because both skill and item makes dealing damage a bad idea
