So I don't know if its been talked about before, but getting a can leave you in a bind. This is mainly because you have a maximum of 16 uses of this item. So you might really want Diffusal 2, but you still have 4 charges left on your first one and you want to use those up first. So I'm wondering, could we either

A: make it just a cooldown and eliminate the charges, or
B: Make it kind of like Riki's , with less charges at first but they can recharge over time.

Thoughts?

making a diffusal blade tests your decision making.

1.Did you make diffusal for the purge? A: don't upgrade diffusal until all charges are used.

2.Did you make diffusal for the damage? A: Upgrade that ****.

I guess that's a good way of thinking of it, I just feel like you could run out of purges too soon if you're ganking a lot against an Omni or something.

Why not just add a Diff 3?

I think the effect is way too strong for it to have infinite charges.

Please think of that poor whose is her only defense against a world of feed. And then the big bad cancer lancer dispels it with infinite diffusal every time.

240 golds for a purge is very reasonable, if you want to give it infinite charges you will have to nerf its cooldown badly, like 50 seconds cooldown.

Diffusal mana burn doesnt scale with upgrades anymore kody

The only buff i think it needed is 40 mana burn on main and half on illusions

But then, seeing how icefridge remobe the UAM, we should be grateful

Why not make a separate recipe for just replenishing the charges and make its cost half of the actual recipe?

It is slightly weird - you kinda wanna use all those charges in the 850g window between getting it and buying the upgrade :/.

I'd think the easiest solution would be that the new reciepe simply adds +8 charges instead of replenishing them. If that seems a bit OP, make it a smaller number, say +6 or +7.
