On weaver it's obviously a stretch since there are so many better options which allow you to not need the perseverance in the first place, it was more about ranged heroes in general and specifically about "lololol BF dusa lolol its bad u dumb lol" without any numbers to back it up.

Just forget it. Battlefury is core on Medusa, Weaver and pretty much any other hero.

Dusa has better options too though. She really likes stats.

You're paying 66.6 gold per damage with mithril hammer, and 71.4 with Javelin. The 20% 40 extra damage makes javelin better, but flat damage is better for the hammer.

So... Mithril Hammer, Claymore and Relic gives more damage when JUST THE DAMAGE PORTION of BF, completely ignoring the regen portion, already is the exact same damage per gold...?

Maff is hard.

What?

PS: When you take out the regen portion of the BF (since we we're talking about followups to the perseverance... you now pay 40 gold per damage. Suddenly BF beats even blades of attack in terms of cost effectiveness.)

47.27 actually (Perseverance is +10 damage, so you only get +55 from completing the Bfury).

Hmm, wondering if it's worth keeping a PMS or Vanguard into lategame on Bristle vs PL (main thing it's competing with is drums).
edit
Really, actually wondering this about any melee hero.

There are some things that a lot of regulars here will vehemently object to.

Anything suggested by Shikyo falls into that category, hence BF Medusa being tossed out
But in all seriousness why the fuck would you pick Medusa let alone buy a bf on her.

No need to be passive aggressive when faced with maff.

The thing is when would you fucking build it?? Would you rush it like an antimage after boots? I suppose so, because r.Evo is trying to sell it to us as a farming item. I hope I don't have to explain why that's a bad idea. And later as a 3rd/4th item, the regen becomes obsolete and there are just better items to get. Medusa with a Battlefury is just a fucking bad idea, I think I'm getting dumber even explaining it.

I explained to you why you're wrong (because you just spewed out information without looking at the numbers), faced with that you get snarky instead of accepting that your initial argument was flat out wrong.

When faced with Perseverance --> ??? the only possible reason for Linkens on a hero like Medusa is because you want the spell block. If that portion of Linkens isn't needed it is a waste of gold compared to BF, plain and simply because it gives less bang for the buck and you might as well build BF+Ultimate orb instead.

Queue times are 2-6mins but other than that, seems fine.

Dude, you said, and I quote: "You realize that BF is the most cost-efficient flat damage item in the game besides Demon Edge, right?"

You were trying to be a fucking smartass and you were flat out wrong, so I pointed it out to make you look dumb. And of course you're buying the Linkens for the damage block. That's like saying you should get a snage instead of a bkb, because Sange has better stats. You're just throwing around random number that don't make any sense in an actual game.

They had a Zeus which honestly is always a bad pick. I really loved the casters (GD) bitching about him getting aghs and not a veil. How is he gonna veil if he dies in three hits? Just like game 1 the team got outdrafted.

Can't really believe this discussion is still happening but you don't buy things based only on stats. If that were the case you'd see just 6 gg branches because they are the most cost effective item in the game. You get the linkens on weaver because you block the initial stun/disable and you can shukuchi away and wait for your team. You can't put a gold value on that. Why this boiled down to "well the stats are more efficient on x item" is beyond me because it's completely irrelevant. I know the counter will be "but you get 10 seconds initially with bkb so it's better" except if you get hit by the first stun you're dead. BKB doesn't matter at that point.

How exactly is the statement "BF is the most cost-efficient flat dmg item in the game besides Demon Edge" wrong?

Once again:
Dmg portion of BF (ignoring the regen you get for that cost as well): 67 gold per dmg.
Claymore/Broadsword/Hammer: 67 gold per dmg.
Relic: 62 gold per dmg.
Demon Edge: 52 gold per dmg.
Dmg portion of BF (assuming you wanted the regen portion anyway): 47 gold per dmg.
