@Xypherous - Suggestion for Essence Reaver + Atma's Impaler

Note: This was from a discussion from a thread yesterday but I decided to make a seperate thread to hear people's opinion of this item build.

The idea was to make an AD cd item path for Essence Reaver . But the difference is in the way this Essence Reaver works.

My suggestion is to make it an AD item that builds out of a long sword only to give 20 AD + 10 % cd for like 950 gold. For the purposes of this thread, let's call it Executioner's calling.

Executioner's calling would have 2 upgrade paths. Namely, Atma's Impaler and Essence Reaver.

**Atma's Impaler ** 45 Armor 10% CD. 20 AD Passive: Impale - Your physical damage spells and autoattacks deal 3% of your maximum health as true damage over 3 seconds (old spirit of the Elder Lizard passive modified for AD tanks).

**Passive: **Burning Vengeance: Dealing physical damage to an enemy champion below 40% health inflicts grievous wounds to them for 4 seconds. Builds out of item 1031 + Executioners. Costs 2800+ gold

This item is intended for AD Tanky champions who have naturally high bases but rely on tanking for the team mostly due to their low AD base ratios. Champions like Garen, Renekton, Olaf, Skarner, Sion, Hecarim, and Darius are the intended users. Healing reduction at low health helps adds this item as a niche for other champions. You won't get much damage from this item as an ADC (since the burn is based on your max health and the AD is really low) but the utility (cd, true damage, healing reduction) and armor is great.

** Essence Reaver** item 3508. Same cost as live. Builds out of BF sword + Executioner's calling.

+80 attack damage +10% life steal +10% cooldown reduction

**UNIQUE PASSIVE: **Essence Restore - Your basic attacks restore mana equal to between 2% and 8% of the physical damage dealt, based on your missing mana. Also, dealing physical damage to champions heals for 10% of the damage dealt.

The idea behind keeping the B.F sword is that you'll spend a high amount of gold for stats you could just buy relatively cheap. Since the Vamp scepter build is off, the passive will be replaced with the health restore that item 2140 has + the current mana restore.

This reaver would be alright on manaless champions (if they are willing to save a lot for BF sword) but better on mana reliant champions like Pantheon and Urgot and Blue Ezreals (lol but it makes no difference on him since his only physical damage skill is Q). But at the same time, they're paying for stats they could just buy easily (especially since the elixir is 400 gold and cd is relatively easy to itemize) The healing from this item won't stack with Elixir of Ruin or in worst case, it could stack Multiplicatively.

This Essence reaver now has a reason to be picked vs Bloodthirster and BorK. More healing on spellsitem 3508 , More healing on autos + a shielditem 3072 , or a healing active that helps to peel and a % current health damage item 3153 .
