    Seriously a slight decrease on the recipe cost isn't gonna make us buy it more often. Firstly it needs to be toggle on/off and its cd reduced from 100 to 60. If icefrog thinks its Op he can put it back to the original recipe cost. I really see the potential of this item but without these 2 buffs its a boring item.

      it just as little application and doesnt do anything
      kinda like meme hammer

      Gazz   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Its need to be reworked. Like:

        Dota 2 7.08 update


        Aeons Disk:
        Active: Sacrifice
        Passive: Combo Breaker
        Bonus: +30 str, +5 health regen

        Required:
        Soul Ring (785)
        Reaver (3000)
        Total Cost (3785)

        Active:
        Sacrifice: Consume 150 health to temporarily gain 150 mana. Lasts 10 seconds. CD: 25

        Passive:
        Combo Breaker: Whenever you take damage and your health falls below 70% a strong dispel is applied and you gain a 2.5 second buff that causes all damage you deal and are dealt to be reduced to zero. Only triggers on player based damage. CD: 60

        Note
        -Cannot be rearmed by Tinker, but can be refresh by Refresher Orb/Shard.
        -Cooldown of the active is shown on the portrait. The Cooldown of the passive is show on the status bar.

          Aeon Disk is hilarious on Tiny btw. All stuns become ministuns.

            It's really all about the amount of health you have left. Put it at like 30% and offlane initiators will get it a lot more.

            Khalilov

              Its hp trigger must be below 50% or something, because 80% is too high brother

              ETd

                @Brock Hall The problem with setting it too low is that there are nukes that could kill before the threshold is hit. For example, lvl 3 Necro ult kills at about 50% HP. You set it at 30%, you won't live to see 30%. Just like how Lina/Lion could sometimes kill Abaddon before ult triggers at 400 hp.
                Most ideal would be 50% to trigger, I think.
                @Ayase you forgot the 25% status resistance passive. In its current state, I'd get it only for that, not even for the combo breaker.

                👉👉P O S I T I V I T Y :D

                  I actually like it, it is a cute situational item

                  I know it is widely considered good for axe, but I think that the hero that mostly benefits from it is brewmaster, it allows him to safely and reliably clap into ult

                  It is also nice on the savers - snazzle and oracle, allowing them to get clutch grave/false promise

                  Dogwater

                    Is it like the counter to being oneshot or something?

                    👉👉P O S I T I V I T Y :D

                      It's the counter to being comboes and chainstunned

                      Peekaboo

                        its picked up on big aoe initators that 'need to get thier spells off'

                        Rhasta, Warlock, Enigma, magnus, brewmaster etc.

                        Say for example you're playing a hero like 'batrider', usually you'll want to jump that silencer and burst him during the lasoo duration and there isn't any options for counterplay. Now with Aoen disk in the pool, you'll have that oppertunity.
                        Its a Game winning item in the right circumstances, and i don't really want to see it buffed too the point of it being picked up every game, i think its in a decent spot.

                        Try picking it up vs a techies or something and the techies won't be able too forcestaff combo you etc.

                        I do think changing the 'recipee cost into something like a buckler might make the item abit more relevant' but i don't think the item is dumpster tier at all.

                        devilish

                          It'd be nice if this could be an item that built out of Ghost Scepter for supports who need to deal with hard hitting carries like Jug, PA and Huskar. I'd suggest:

                          Recipe: Ghost Scepter, Soul Booster

                          Passive: While you are at full health, illusions that attack you are disarmed for 2.5 seconds. This effect goes on cooldown for 17.5 seconds for each illusion.

                          Active: Ethereal Impulse - Enter Ghost Form and slow all enemies around you by 50% for 2 seconds. You gain 20% movement speed for each affected unit.

                              That's not a problem, that's just a set of heroes you wouldn't buy it against. You'd get linkens or bkb or just a buttload more health or something.
