How many people here upgrade stick into wand? I've been stopping doing it lately. Just don't feel the effect of that 150g, except sometimes on support. | ||

1.Do you need stick? if no, don't buy it if yes, buy it 2. Do you have branches in your inventory? if no, don't upgrade it if yes, upgrade it | ||

A lot of the time you'll be using stick before you hit 10 charges, and 10 is enough for tanking 1-2 more autoattacks and casting another spell (at that stage of the game). 300 gold is one and a half waves of creeps or a hero/tower kill at a stage of the game where little advantages really matter. I'd rather, for example, have a PMS over a Stick->Wand upgrade. Stick just does enough by itself that I can't justify getting Wand except in "oh shit I'm gonna die" quickbuy situations. | ||

+3 all stats really makes difference at laning phase. | ||

What are the chances that you store more than 10charges anyway? What are the chances that that extra 5 charge will save you compared to how much more you can get out of a obs/tele scroll/sentry/dust/smoke or even that flying courier instead? Comparing the wand upgrade to comparable costing items is just not worth it, especially since it's rare that you store more than 10charges anyway. If you can store that much without using it, i dare say your using the stick wrong in the first place | ||

That's so terrible I honestly dont even know where to begin. As for stick vs wand it depends but most of the time I don't upgrade. Always should have one but getting wand is only if you have branches need the room and aren't going mek. | ||

If you have to go out of your way to buy all 3 Branches for the Wand, it's not really worth it. If you still have the Branches lying around in lane, 150 gold to roll +3 all Stats into a slot that you're already carrying anyway is much more worth it, since otherwise you're wasting the Branches you already paid for. On August 06 2014 11:40 Mithhaike wrote: i do buy sticks, but i never upgrade them. mostly because of how i seldom buy GG branches. I rather the 150recipe + maybe 1/2 branches money be spent on teleport scrolls or a ward rather than upgrading it to get a possible +5charges. How often do you not start with branches? Most situations I can think of where I wouldn't start with branches involve pooled gold. | ||
