Well, for it's i would not really know. The cost and casts are pretty good so i think that this is a reasonable cooldown.

Anybody else say so?

Heh yeah i guess so. Do you think anything is overpowered/ underpowered? because the recipy would go under "New recipies."

Hmmm... Too bad the spells are random... But it adds to the interesting factor that it possesses.

Do you think that i should change it into percentages? or make it so that it is choosable? i like it the way it is as it adds a unique factor to it.

Gust of wind slow duration?
Stampeed = Number of kodos?
Fire damage duration and damage?

@ yukino
Gust of wind slow for 5 seconds
Stampeed: 30 kodos
Fire damge and duriation 8 second duriation and 50 damage per second.

@Black angel,
The elements have a cool down of 2 minutes. All the spells are support and nukes to soften up the enemies. they are all aoe because of the random type of elements. It is expensive but i think it is pretty good because of the spell and stat benifits.

I like it yes, but I think it is a tad strong really, a little imba, i know the price is high but for only 2350 more than aghnims, not only do you get the effects of the 2 added items, but you also get a beastly spell which has the potential to do ALOT of damage in a large AoE.
I personally think it is imba, if a hero gets hit with only 5 of the waves from last elemental, that is 1000 damage. with the movement and aoe of waves i feel that is fairly likely. Now imagine this cast in a 1000 AoE with 3-4 enemy heroes in it, that could potentially be 4000+ damage to the team for only 250 mana!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it is random, and some of the elementals are far weaker like monsoon, but still, that is kinda extreme.

Also as a note, besides thinking the item is a tad imba, i feel the skills themselves should be more equal. Total Possible damages seem to very quite a bit, maybe try to even them out a bit, keep the variation in how it is caused, but it seems to me element 1 has greater damage than element 3, AND element 1 has a slow. clearly element 1 superior to element 3

hmm... i see what you mean. But normally they come from random directions and area. Hold on. im gonna change how far they travel. how far do you think it should go? cuz i thought it could be like 300 or something. I really do not think it is imba.

Also, should change the randomness of the elements to percentages? because it seems to confuse people a lot.

And well, that is what give the staff a unique thing. Things are different and in DOTA, things are unexpected.

Does anybody else think so?

comments helpful!

I think this item needs to be rethought because its too imba and your upgrading a lvl 4 item. If anything make it upgrade a lvl 3 item like with the Bruiser upping the crystalis... please rethink it a bit
