It's very agility heavy so not suitable for the "attack damage" section - and between the evasion and the armour gain, it's actually quite handy defensibly (we're talking about 40% damage reduction against physical). Sure, it's more attack minded than defensive, but for 6k you can get items that do more damage.

I'm happy thinking of it as "an item that lets me beat other carries".

I am sorry but nobody builds a Butterfly as a defensive item.
The escape is a plus, but in no case you may think "I am gonna build a 6k gold item to get some evasion, yeah!"
Not because it gives a slight defensive advantage means this is a defensive item.


That's exactly what I think when I build a Butterfly, otherwise I'd be going for a more aggressive item. =/

Phew...it's pretty much done! All the item descriptions are complete (may be still missing a few important items, please let me know if so), and there's a huge set of indexes which list items by their various types, and also link to their descriptions directly using Anchor links...

Wow...this was a big job! There may well be some grammatical, spelling, factual or linking errors - please let me know if you spot anything, or have any other ideas for improvements.

Obviously the item descriptions are somewhat my opinions, so please discuss if you think any should be altered...

I still think you might want to consider making a segregated version based on stats. I'll proofread your most recent version right after I proofread Hades' video script for QoP.
