Maelstrom is 2700 gold for 54 damage (24 + 25% chance of 120 more), 25 attack speed. No regen and armor, but Maelstrom farms faster and builds into other items while Armlet is a dead end (if you look at the disparity between other components and dead-end items such as comparing Drums to Ultimate Orb, this difference in cost-effectiveness is expected). This is from the general discussion thread. Maelstrom looks better than armlet like this, so why do people go for armlet? *.Doesnt the armlet life drain also kinda mitigate the hp regen? | ||

That's kind of what I thought too, but then I saw it done a couple of times in pro games and it seemed to work out pretty well so I feel like there's more value to it than you would expect. | ||

However, if you're only being hit by the cleave, you can't dodge the cleave effect. The exception is, as always, Void's Backtrack, because it acts as a triggered heal on damage instances taken and not real evasion. | ||

I'm having major issues judging her tiny attack range. If I get it wrong, she just walks out of meld to attack them and it's wasted. | ||

If I get it wrong, she just walks out of meld to attack them and it's wasted. No tricks whatsoever. Her 3rd ability Psi Blades increases her attack range by 60 per level. So that means for normal TA builds like 4-4-1 you'll be at 200 range until level 11-13. Consider it a tad more than melee range. Your best bet pre-blink is to phase boot toward your target, and then trap slow and phase literally on top of them (or as close as you can get) and then meld. That pretty much ensures you hitting a meld attack 1 on 1. Same theory applies w/o Phase if you go Treads or have just regular boots. | ||

If I get it wrong, she just walks out of meld to attack them and it's wasted. All i can say is get used to it by practicing TA more. I started out with the same issue too, then after more games with TA it gets easier to judge. A simple way is to always be next to the enemy(within 300range) before meld hitting...it has the bonus effect of guaranteeing you at least 2 hits at the enemy instead of just 1 meld hit at the edge of your range | ||
