Fervor of Battle only really works with crit builds. What about AD casters?

xxxMadLionxxx··4 votes·781 views

With the Fervor of battle rework, players now stack AD instead on pure on hit damage. On-hit builds can still gain about 120 damage per hit at max stacks if they build 100% crit. (64 ad at max stacks and crit = 120 damage per hit.)

However, AD caster would love to use that AD also. But they have a tough time stacking it because they don't build attack speed or crit.

Would it be too much to ask for Fervor of battle to stack with abilities once again? That way, AD caster/assassins can use it also.

It would be a great buff to Lucian/MF/Ez as AD casters who got indirectly nerfed by the armor pen changes.

no auto attack adcs ( casters as you put it) typically run thunderlords or deathfire

no, it was a legit question. i didnt know who else ran it. lol. i just thought it was too late game for other ADCs but worked for jhin because 800AD+.

I play illaoi as my main and i still see people use DFT although i find more success with fervor because its more flexible towards my builds

everything you do has a pro and con... if you go for a certain play style and build path you can run whatever you want as long as you understand how to play to the strengths and stay away from the weakness of that play style

I've ran it a few times with Varus just to add more to his Poke and this was also for ADC Varus to. Though in most cases I'd still use Bloodlust or Fervor but I'm sure that I'm not the only one who would use DFT some times on him lol

Varus used to but he needs thunder lords for the extra lethality

You do realize that the AD you get from Fervor applies to ability scalings now, right? So right now it's actually better on AD casters than the old on hit used to be.

If you even manage to stack it with an AD caster is better. But stacking it for AD casters is much harder.

Renekton with auto then empowered w gets MAX fervor of battle stacks that's a yoummus worth of free ad almost immediately level 18. Pretty powerful

You mean revert the rework/nerf ? Varus cannot caster build anymore because lethality is a nerf and items varus needed he can't use it because of the core .so riot inadvertently nerfed varus to shyt with the fervor rework/nerf and the lethality being a nerf
