Not sure if this will make it into the next PBE build, but I changed both Spirit Stone and Madred's Razors to retain the Machete's Rend passive. The Madred's / Wriggle's passive proc is now renamed to Maim.

Wriggle's and the final Spirit Stone upgrades will still not retain the Rend passive.

This is convoluted and bad for streamlining. Unfortunately this seems to be a common trend with the new items.

Thank you! This actually makes it a good choice to upgrade your machete. Before, it wouldn't be a good idea to upgrade it till like level 9 at least.

Good. It never feels right when you get punished for upgrading to what is still a pretty early game item.

This is actually a big deal. I feel like its a great alternative to philo stone now, esp on mao who doesn't jungle all that quickly.

I need a good set of attack speed runes for jungle though. Armor pen runes not cutting it on fiddles.

I don't suspect it was particularly necessary on Razors. The Madred passive and Rend do the same job.

It was an issue on Spirit Stone because a large portion of your damage is still autoattacks for most characters.

Yay, thank you for responding. I will be back when these go live and I can test them! Thank you!

lol, Rend and Maim.


Where's our Blackhand item that has both Rend and Maim on it as passives?


(Rend and Maim are the sons of Warchief Blackhand the Destroyer, who was Warchief of the Horde during Warcraft: Orcs and Humans.
