We need newer and better bruiser items

The ones that are available aren’t gold efficient and don’t provide stats worthy of 3000+ gold. By the time you’ve saved up enough money to get to your 2 item powerspike, the game’s already over. I don’t believe that these items need MASSIVE buffs, but some small things like increasing Black Cleaver’s armor shred to 5% per stack from 4% and increasing Titanic’s bonus hp damage per attack to 2% of your bonus health from 1% would be good steps in the right direction.

The other issue is the serious lack of variety in their itemization. As far as actual bruisery items we have Black Cleaver, Tri-Force (on most but not all), Sterak’s, Titanic Hydra and... that’s really it. I had a bunch of ideas for some newer bruiser items, and I would love to share them with you guys.

For those with extra high testosterone who want a more fun version of GA. Warlord’s Bloodlust: 3100 gold Build Path: Bilgewater Cutlass Caulfield’s Warhammer +400 gold

60 attack damage 25% lifesteal 10% cooldown reduction

Unique Passive: A Warrior’s Death (Melee Only) - As you self heal, store that healing as stacks, up to a value of 60% of your maximum health. Upon taking lethal damage, consume all of these stacks and revive after 4 seconds of stasis based on how many stacks were consumed (Minimum of 15% maximum health). (300 second cooldown)

I’d love to hear what you guys think, and any improvement that could be made.
