the reason ppl might think it's a "buff" is because you lose the aghs in ardm when u respawn

ya i mean you'll notice there isn't any sort of timer on the buff

but if you're going to edit the wiki i would probably be sure to make sure everything looks up to snuff in terms of your syntax and grammar.

doesn't doom disable it?

on the same thought train...did LC's duel get changed during the patch with the changes to mute and break?

why would doom disable aghs?

lc's stopped breaking in the same patch that aghless doom stopped breaking

Like, if you could purge the weaver around the time the alchemist was gonna die, that buff becomes alot less important. If this is correct then there exists a straight forward solution against the alchemist+weaver combo, maybe a diffusal blade.

You mean like the straightforward solution of silencing Weaver so he can't cast spells when he wants to ult someone?

Because, you know, that does exactly what you're trying to do. And, what do you know, there's an item that does that.

Really, Alch+Weaver is hardly a "combo" and trying to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of Weaver Agh's with Alchemist is hilarious because that game was disgustingly advantaged long before Alch was even buying Agh's for anyone else.

No.

he's not wrong though

alch was too much heavily farmed .. i doubt that'd be executed on pubs properly and also they had laning stage advantage cause level 1 rosh

not just that if that was against a more competent team i doubt that happen

What is a good HP threshold where I could feel comfortable getting an evasion item on Bristle?

Armor's usually the more important decider, since your natural HP growth is much higher, and you'll get HP items for your early-midgame survivability or damage (e.g. BKB, S&Y).

Strictly speaking, evasion is going to be worth it relative to armor around when you have 1 armor item (usually AC or Meka) but the consideration of other stats/buildup on respective items will decide whether that's actually what you'll buy.

why do you feel like you want evasion on bristleback anyway is the real question....

evasion, raw hp, and armor, when talking about effective hit points, is a basic math problem

but mathcraft aside, bristleback is usually more useful if you make some team items like crimson guard or assault cuirass

It's not that I necessarily feel like I need to buy it anyway, I was just more curious about the efficiency of buying an item like HH earlier than AC against certain team compositions.

if by efficiency, you mean math, then

if evasion is X [0,1], your EHP increase is 1/(1-X) -1. (ht hariooo)
X% evasion is equal to X% more EHP

Y more raw hp divided by current hp gives you the EHP increase as a %

the math for armor is more complicated, and I already got into an argument with the entirety of liquiddota in the thread I linked above. but the takeaway, as TheYango said, is that if you already have armor, more armor is not worth as much (and by extension, evasion might be better)

If you buy HH early it's for the active+efficient HP/stats. The evasion is auxiliary and helps the item scale well, but is not the major draw of buying it as a 1st or 2nd item.

bristle benefits to a degree from getting hit though, although i wouldnt say that makes evasion bad on him

But evasion wouldn't really change the amount he benefits from getting hit, so that's kinda a moot point. If his stuff scaled off having low hp then that would be a consideration, but it doesnt so its k.

as someone who's berating the other dude about math, your own understanding of this basic math problem is pretty terrible.

All else held equal, not considering hp regen, if evasion is X [0,1], your EHP is HP/(1-X).

like damn dude you thought 100% evasion only doubles your ehp lol

you're right, thanks for correcting my error

a point of distinction is evasion is not mathematically worse if you already have evasion (though gameplay wise it obviously is..), the way armor is (a few patches ago evasion didn't stack though so this was never something to think about)

so I wrote it out without thinking about it, hehe. glad someone caught it

Armor isn't really mathematically worse if you already have it. Each point of armor is 6% EHP. It's just that if you already have a lot of armor, you usually want to shore up another stat.

well thats not really true
if you have 0 armor 0 evasion then platemail is better than talisman, even for much less gold
if you have 30 armor 0 evasion then talisman is much better than platemail

point being, armor might not get "worse" but it gets less efficient than say HP or Evasion or other things that it kinda multiplies against.
