it's one of the worst items in the game ethereal blade damage hits after they're banished so yes it is amped by 40% | ||

it's okay, but generally there are items that accomplish much more like bkb, hex, blink, pushstick, jango, etc and it might work "ok" on storm, but again there are better items it's not very good on dp because the mana is completely worthless and raw survivability is much easier to buy in other forms vanguard + jango, for example, is cheaper, easier to build, and more useful pretty much all the time | ||

If we take this path soon we going to be calling spells "q" "w" "e" 'r". Can't stand that crap. The reason that it is called pushstick is because it is easier to convey push stick than force staff If someone says "Im going to use force staff." You need to first identify what force staff does whereas if you call it push stick you already know what the items effect is...which is pushing. I hope that makes sense. Its the same with sheepstick instead of guinsoo/scyth of vyse or silence stick or whatever. Its just easier to convey ideas to people in high pressure situations. /bullshit off | ||

it's just so much easier to say "e" instead of "maledict" i mean stuns are collectively called "stuns" and silences are collectively called "silences" just for the sake of simplicity also some people come from a hon or non-english background so sometimes they have different nicknames for items on top of that push stick is easier to type than force staff (and push is easier to type than force) since u don't have to use the same finger twice in a row | ||

Example: For Windrunner's legacy keys, Shackleshot is E, Powershot is R, and Windrun is W. For her QWER keys, Powershot is W, Windrun is E, and Focus Fire is R. | ||
