Passive: Your basic attacks deal 50% of their damage in a 15-foot area. Enemies can only be hit once by this additional damage per basic attack. (So Mercury can't proc this four times on one target).
If you're wondering, this item is intentionally built an early game item. Mainly for junglers. But it can also be good for gods who have poor waveclear.
Not sure if I like it, though. No more movement speed, no more crit chance. There's already a SERIOUS lack of both of those traits in items (the only viable crit is on GB, Malice/Rage, and DB, and for physical the only viable MS is on Fatalis, Heartseeker, and GB. MAYBE** Witch Stone).
But I would like this branch for people who want tankiness instead of damage on golden bow. Obviously it's not *tanky* per se, but the lifesteal and hp5 provide sustain over burst.

Er, aren't those the only crit items?
Actually, I wanted to ask you if you ever use the Golden Bow at all on gods who aren't Mercury. It just doesn't seem to give much. Crit chance is too weak to be useful, Movement speed is too weak to be useful, physical power is underwhelming, and frankly, I feel the price is too high.

I used to use it on Artemis, back when I was young and naïve. I used to build for the highest crit chance possible, so I bought all crit items.
My fault, whoops. Never a big baka player, but did used to do that.
Sadness.
I'd still take it on him regardless, because it's very worth to build him full attack speed to benefit from the true damage, and the AoE from all the basic attacks will rot a team or a minion wave.
