Basically a weaker Lich Bane ROFL

40 AP < 80 AP 250 Mana = 250 Mana 10% CDR = 10% CDR 10% Lifesteal against mobs > 0% Lifesteal against mobs 0% MS < 7% MS 100% Base AD + 30% AP < 75% Base AD + 50% AP 8% missing mana refund > 0% missing mana refund

Basically, the only few things that Runeglaive have that Lich Bane doesn't are the Lifesteal against Monsters and the missing mana refund. Otherwise, it's literally a weaker version of Lich Bane.

Funny how you posted this thread a couple hours after the enchantment that will be taking over Runeglaive was put on the pbe.

That's probably because it's an item specialized specifically for the jungle.

The spellblade effect also does 200% of base AD + 60% of AP to the primary jungle monster, while dealing 100% base AD + 30% of AP in AoE while refunding 8% of missing mana.

Furthermore you should count the item that you need in order to build runeglaive, so the stats of a completed runeglaive are actually

+30xp on killing large monsters 10% lifesteal vs monster camps +150% mana regen while in the jungle 250 mana 40 AP the already mentioned spellblade effects as well as the chilling smite effect to steal 20% of targets movement speed additionally each completed jungle item gains Tooth and nail which deals additional bonus 20 damage on attacks vs jungle creeps, and additionally steals 30 HP from each jungle creep over 5 seconds if hit by any attack or ability.

This is also at the cost of 2675g, instead of 3200g for lichbane.

Thanks, I never looked at the stats side by side like that. Lets say you have a level 9 Diana with no AP outside of runeglaive or lichebane. RG will deal 85 damage while LB will deal 95. That's a little more than a 10% difference that will only get much wider with more AP.

One more thing to note

200% base AD + 60% AP against the first monster hit.

It does double damage to monsters so she can take neutral objectives much faster.

I wonder what Sterak's Diana would be like...

I tend to agree, I have recently found the insane superiority of Lich Bane vs. Runeglaive.... but Runeglaive is cheaper once you have your jungle item, so that's the one appeal.
