Melee has Hydra, ranged has Runaan's and mages have..? NOTHING. Item idea for Season 5!
Alright so let's talk items.
Ravenous Hydra: A melee-only item that gives lifesteal, attack power, regeneration, and makes all melee attacks deal splash damage. Lifesteal applies to splash.
Runaan's Hurricane: A ranged-only item that greatly increases attack speed and passively creates two extra bolts that deal 50% damage to two other targets. Applies on-hit effects.
So what do mages have? They have nothing to fit the niche Runaan's and Hydra fit for ranged and melee classes.
So here's my suggestion, taking all things into account.
Orb of Magical Insight: **An item that only procs with single target damaging spells. What does it do? It gives AP and slight mana regeneration, but it's unique passive is that single target damaging spells shoot out a bolt of arcane energy from its point of impact that locks onto a single enemy within range (only if someone is in range and the original spell hit) and deals 50% of the original spells magic damage, with a maximum of 300 damage and it can only proc once every 3 seconds. **
Why? This makes it like Ruunan's, except for mages and only has one bolt instead of two. Not to mention it only procs every 3 seconds and does NOT apply on-hit effects. In exchange for this it has more burst damage, something mages often rely on. Ranged and Melee classes have an item like this, and it's bugged me that mages don't.
Whadd'ya think? :D
