Youmuu's Ghostblade on ranged carries

[quote=Footyballs]Okay, so I've been seeing a lot of ranged carries getting [[Youmuu's Ghostblade]] lately and I'm wondering why. Doesn't the Active only proc off 'melee' attacks? If so is it still viable to use on a ranged carry seeings as they're only benefiting from 1/3 of the active? Any light on the subject would be appreciated and all opinions welcomed. :)[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]hmm idk about that. i'll check it out next game as our database is kinda behind.[/quote]

[quote=Footyballs]4 hour bump, I want this answered and discussed, damnit![/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]It does only proc off melee attacks. I guess it's because a lot of carries get Brutalizer and decide to just build it into Ghostblade. TreeEski despises Youmuu's on any ranged champion. Lately, I've started to agree. Last Whisper+I-Edge is so much stronger as a ranged DPS core.[/quote]

[quote=ShadowReign757]I've always thought Last Whisper > Youmuu's because it gives superior ArP and more damage, and also when I have an item with an active (Excluding Zhonya's) I never remember to use it, so the active is pretty much useless for me. I Only tend to get it if I'm going for crit chance, or need the CDR, hence why it is so awesome on a crit GP build.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]I believe this pic will help in deciding this: [img]http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h408/Searz/CrCLWvsArPGhostbladeontypicalcarrybuild.png[/img] I'd say that Last Whisper usually is better, but if you want the CDR and no enemy stacks up on armor [[Youmuu's Ghostblade]] a great choice.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]Why can't you have Last Whisper AND Ghost blade? The active means you're still a bit of the active, which makes Turrets go down like a pile of toy blocks, and the CDR is very nice. Even if ranged can't get the duration extensions, they can still get the burst of MS+AS when they want it.[/quote]

[/quote] Call me dumb and slap me silly but I never read the fine print. I had absolutely NO idea ranged carries got less off this item.. Damn need to change my Sivir build.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=JunSupport] Why can't you have Last Whisper AND Ghost blade?[/quote] Because you'll get less damage with that than with only one of the items and a damage/crit item. It's probably because flat and %ArP doesn't work losslessly together.[/quote]
