I think Sais is fine, tbh. When they removed lifesteal they made it absolutely fine. I'd have actually made it have less OTHER stats to keep the lifesteal, but it's viable, not overpowered, right now. They make themselves VERY squishy and sustain-lacking early game for damage, which I think is fine.
Since Asi outclasses every item for raw lifesteal for Hunters, and Soul Eater's main point was its heaping amount of lifesteal, why not make it more of a support item? For gods like Guan Yu or Sun Wukong or Chaac.
Maybe keep the lifesteal, the aura, and the health, but remove the attack speed and add physical or universal protections, or even CC reduction. Maybe bump it's price up a bit. Sound good?
As for Stone of Gaia, eh, it does its job of making your laning phase really good. Maybe just buff it outright, maybe 3-4% of your max health over 5 seconds?
Edit: There are two paths for GB. Make it like Ravenous Hydra, or...actually, there hasn't been much. Any suggestions?
(I do think Bloodforge contends with Asi in some regards, as do devourer's gloves)
But yes, I do like that idea for Soul Eater. It's THEE bruiser item at that point, because they have 0 solid items for lifesteal atm.
As for Golden Bow, I really want that ravenous hydra idea, but HiRez has never put in active items, just actual actives =/ I just don't see it viable otherwise.
Well, instead of a 100% AD burst effect, why don't we brainstorm something else? It doesn't necessarily have to be an "active" timed effect, like Soul Reaver.
Maybe like Focus from Ashe in League? Make it a psuedo-crit item by making it apply 100% AD to your next basic (not actually a crit, mind you.).
