Odysseus bow

this makes fatalis a better choice because you then already have both actives slots full (HoG sprint) so no beads.

You do not have to get HOG though :P

It's possible to do jungle baka without it and solo baka usually goes without it.

If you are getting HOG you ofc want to get Fatalis ;)

No he doesn't.

I concur... It's an awful item... I've been trying to make it viable by combining it with all different types of items on all different hunters... worthless... It needs to be WAAAAAYYYYY cheaper or they need to add something like +10 Physical power and +10 Lifesteal, or CDR, or penetration... or something... Or way more damage output on the chain effect - or I've got it...

Increase the probability to 50% on the passive and remove the 1 second cooldown, then make it 1900 gold. Then it may be viable.

Yeah, I retract my earlier post in that the item is god awful (no pun intended). Complete waste of money and waste of an item slot. The attack speed is nice, but it isn't coupled with anything else. The passive is near useless due to it being only a 25% chance, and the damage the lightning gives is pretty bad.

I like the idea of having an item like this, but HiRez clearly didn't put much thought into it and whether or not it'll actually be useful.

Yuuuuup.

I say: Keep the AS. But give it a chain stun instead. :D

I finally figured out what it's good for. It's an Anhur item. As in - Anhur only. I made a theoretical build that sounds completely unusable but somehow works like magic on Anhur. It is bootless so it relies on careful positioning. It would seem to lack power, but it processes the chain lightning so quickly that it will secure you kills by hitting minions near enemy gods who would have otherwise barely gotten away. Laugh if you will, but try it.

I normally build:
Dev Gloves > Pen Boots > Fatalis or Asi > Rage > Malice > Deathbringer

This is the build that I've been racking up 30 kill games with:

Rage > Fatalis > Odysseus Bow > Asi > Deathbringer > Executioner

It turns him into a grenade machine gun. When I unleash into clustered up enemies I get triple kills all day without trying. It seemed like a silly concept, but it works amazingly well. I play mostly hunters and can't work it into a build with any of them. I think Hi-Rez made it as an Anhur item. It makes up for his lack of attack speed while enhancing his farm. I'm going to experiment with working Dev Gloves back into the build but I don't know what to take out. His attack speed is almost maxed and is what most Artemis players are near using their steroid. Thoughts?

OK, after further testing, I've settled on this build:

Dev Gloves > Fatalis > Rage > Odysseus Bow > Malice > Deathbringer

It's slower but hits harder.

Anyone else found a use for this item???

I normally don't use the ultra crit combo. so If it's good on anhur I would go dev-boots-bow-rage-DB-exo with it. gives you some nice and annoying penetration for bursting tanks
