Item Idea:The Healing Rod

[quote=krolk88][b]Item Name:The Healing Rod[/b] Recipe: Blasting Rod + 2x Dagger Components Cost : 1660 Combine Cost : 440 Total Cost : 2100 +50 Ability Power +30% Attack Speed Unique Passive: Heals for 25(+0.25 AP) on every third auto attack. Combining gains: 10 Ability Power 6% Attack Speed Passive. Considering stat costs on basic items(Amplifing Tome&Dagger) its 117.5+200g = 317.5g,meaning that a passive should be worth atleast 122.5g for an item to be cost effective. Would it be an option for AP carries like Kassadin/Fizz to get some sustain?What do you think? EDIT: Cost changed to 2100 from 2400.[/quote]

[quote=Meiyjhe]AP Xin Zhao will become very very very strong with this item :P[/quote]

[quote=krolk88]He is already very strong with the new Nashor's[/quote]

[quote=Meiyjhe]AP Xin Zhao is already strong with the new Nashor's Conclusion: Let's add an item to the game that would make him even MORE strong! :O[/quote]

[quote=krolk88]You know if you bulid both this items,and boots and rabadon,and guinsoo,then you have only 1 slot left,and your dmg is quite bad without trinity.If you buy it however,you would have no defensive item,which will make your heal useless.So in my opinion it would be either this or Nashor's on Xin,depending on how good you're doing. EDIT: If Nashor's is 520 more gold than this,and it grants 10 more AP,20% more AS and 20% CDR,and a passive,which all equals to 117.5g+400g+335g(20% CDR worth of [[Fiendish Codex]] after deleting ap part and its cost),so a Conclusion: To be as gold effective as nashor,a passive of this item has to be worth atleast 332.5g more than nashor's passive...maybe i should tweak a cost a bit ^^.[/quote]

[quote=Meiyjhe]I wouldn't build AP Xin like that at all. I would: Buy boots Buy Nashors Buy Lich bane Buy Healing Rod Maybe not even buy rabadons, just buy Zhonya's or something. Guinsoos also doesnt seem like a smart idea ;P @edit; Tweeking the cost does not always solve the problem :P[/quote]

[quote=krolk88]Guinsoos is quite good on [[Xin]],well that free spellvamp and lifesteal + a ton of AS + both AD and AP...in my opinion its a perfect item for Xin,but im too lazy to do the calculations for now,but i can assume that it results in more damage output than lichbane. Also: Well its true tweaking the cost doesnt always solve the problem,but you should blame nashor's change that made it too cost effective,not me^^. EDIT: Without buliding [[Rabadon's Deathcap]],Nashor's and this would be scaling quite bad and that wouldnt be a good idea to bulid zhonya instead i think,because even though you would gain a bit of armor + passive,you would lose overall healing and damage.[/quote]

[quote=tehAsian]Kass and Fizz aren't AP Carries. They are Assassins. They blow you up before you do damage. This doesn't help with that at all. What is the purpose of this item?[/quote]

[quote=krolk88]Well,almost all AP carries deal burst damage with a few exceptions,and there are also plenty of AD assasins,so im used to calling the AP ones just "carries". Ok,back to the topic. The purpose of this item would be granting sustain in beetwen early-mid game.You asked why [[Kassadin]] and [[Fizz]]?Its simple,because they both have AP scaling AA's - [[Nether Blade]] and [[Seastone Trident]].Due to kit,this champs are often AA minions in lane so the sole purpose would be to get them rewarded for it,and since its midgame item,it would be sold at end and replaced with something better.[/quote]

[quote=rudyards]Methinks you don't know what an APC is. Carries definitially deal sustained damage. Karthus is an APC, as is Anivia (although that is somewhat up for debate). Otherwise, you are either an AP Assasin or an AP Nuker. Nukers are mages like Veigar, Assassins are frequently close range champions with 100 - 0 potential such as Fizz and Kass.[/quote]
