Sooo essence reaver has been discussed quite a bit...

My two possible solution's for essence reaver The first being so that you can slowly build it and doesn't have the set back of waiting for your bf sword.. The second Is to possibly make it favorable over blood thirster in certain situations.

There are two solutions to fixing Essence Reaver, 1. Being change the build path to something like pickaxe(875g) Vampiric scepter(800g), and Pickaxe(875g).. The only concern with this really is the amount of free stats that you'd get for the 650g cost to combined them that'd net you a 10% cdr, 20 ad, and it's passive... either that or make the item more expensive but then no one would buy it anyways because then why not just buy a blood thirster.. hmm let's try a rework of it. Only give hmm let's make it have different stats.. How about we build it out of a phage, a vampiric scepter, and a pick axe. We can make it 3500 just like blood thirster and here are it's stats.. 200 health, 60 ad, 10% life steal, 10% cool down, rage passive (same as phage). possibly get rid of it's current passive and change it to an active, Mana mend: for the next 8 seconds your auto attacks restore mana equal to 10% of your current mana(minimum being 50 maybe higher?) Total cost will 3500 this way... maybe it could use some tweaks.. thoughts?
