Last thread for a while but I'm in dyer curiosity...

Obviously the item has 40 agility, but the item says "Primary Attribute" therefore it is clearly intended to be a universal item but the 40 agility on it might push many potentially effective heroes away from it.

So what heroes and why?

Maybe some might already see where I am going with this....

Morphling is the only "true" Ethereal Blade carrier. Doom, Nature's Prophet and Nyx Assassin can also be built in an insta-nuke way, provided they get enough farm/kills and build a Dagon before the EB.
Best picture ever.

Only hero to get Ethereal Blade for stats purpose is meepo,
About it's active, the damage it deals is less important(except for morphling), it's about Multiplying any magic damage. Is really good item when a team produces great magical damage, probably active at early stage of the game.

Who does high magic damage, but also gets the most of his main stat per level in the game?

Pugna is good on paper with this, but he really needs Aghanim's Scepter first - and you need to rush eblade really to make it effective. 40 Agility also does very little for him for the price. Morphling's agi shift and abilities (and farm) makes him the most viable carrier.

Like when a team has lina, crystal maiden, and queen of pain, Eblade is a good choice to burst someone down.

Why not centaur war runner goes mid, puts 1 point in stun, max return, double edge stats...

Get ethereal blade.... Double edge is great for a while...

Then you end with 4 hearts, power treads, and ethereal blade....

With eth blade you have another way of attacking...

Meepo also benefits greatly from the active damage in addition to providing clones with raw attack damage. The initial damage is worthless since his AGI is ****, but it boosts his massive Poof chain-nuke (40% boost to ~1100 magic damage) and disarms harder carries.

For a wile I have been wanting to play a support Drow and get E-blade oh her. Since she can still fost arrows other targets and make use of the ultimate.
My lone druid starting items are 12 Iron wood branches, 6 for the hero and 6 for the bear. Even if the bear does not get stats more twigs are OP on any hero.
