Bracelet of Rage, Ultimate DPS item.

Pretty sure it costs 14,000 gold.

Plus it's got a passive +50 damage, which isn't too shabby, either.

its nice. you can get a baby version of it with Unmaker, which has a similar cost but much bigger passive stat boosts in exchange for a somewhat smaller activated ability (+20% weapon damage for 10 seconds i think, but its on a very short 30 second cooldown). 

20% != 300 extra damage

well, it would be if you naturally had 1500 weapon damage, which is an absurdly high number. realistically 20% is probably more in range of about +40-50 damage for a high level DG. its clearly not as big of an activated ability. on the other hand Unmaker has alot of other really cool stuff. a proc that raises your attack speed, and some really good passive benefits. i like it alot. 

Think if someone got unmaker and the bracelet and activated bracelet then unmaker, normal weapon dmg+300x.2(20%) which would make it 360 not including the 20% of normal weapon dmg along with the normal weapon dmg added to it would most likely be around the 400-500 range depending on your other items/what demigod your playing

Don't forget the +20% is also including the passive boosts from the items.

Add Ashkandor. Mega-crit.

 

I agree with the OP this item is insane.  So much so that pretty much every demigod should get it.  It also combos incredibly well with the slayers gaunlets, resulting in 1k+ damage hits.

The AoE damage bonus should probably be toned down to +50 damage.  I know that seems like a massive nerf, but an AoE damage boost is pretty darn good.  You can have it up nearly 1/4 the time.  +300 is just obscene.

Literally every demigod should carry this if they can afford it, if not for themselves, so they can stand next to another demigod and chain it.

I have to say this item is terrifying when used with UB. Especially when UB's rage is max rank where he can't be slowed. It's not even fair if the UB is using an ashkandor and a team-mate gives him the buff.

At that point you find a corner, go into fetal position, and cry.

No time to do that.

Got the braclets in a pantheon match, the oaks said I was hacking cause they would literally pop like a cherry after their shield wore off. Was worse when I started using it with the other UB who was beastial wrath.

 

I got a bracelet and one of the crit swords in a game earlier and was getting regular 3k hits with regulas.

If the enemy team allows you to get enough gold to get this stuff, they're screwed any way you play.

 

If both teams get enough gold to start getting artifacts like these, then they'll have this and worse waiting for you when you close in =D

14k is very obtainable.  Especially if you have one of your demigods save up for it and spend conservatively.  An item isn't fine just because both teams can get it.  Leave this item as is and the game will revolve around it.

I think Bracelet of Rage is kinda OP.  For 14k gold you can get practically a guaranteed kill every 45 seconds.

if you have 14k saved up before you have a well upgraded citadel you are just making the game longer and not helping your team

this is something i would get if both sides are stuck in a stalemate for a long time

i no longer have 40-1 hr games

I respectfully disagree.  If you're playing UB and you save up and get a Bracelet of Rage, you are most definately helping your team by using it to clear the board with Triple Smite plus kills and Godlike kill streaks.  By that point, taking full control of the map is simple and your win is largely academic.

However, I do agree in the hands of UB, Bracelet of Rage doth smack of the flavor of WTFBBQ.

Have to disagree. 14k is nearly enough to upgrade angels, catas and Giants all at once (400 gold short). It won't matter if someone on the enemy team has it, if half their team are stuck in base fending off waves of Giants. Also it won't help much vs a nuke heavy team (e.g. UB, Torchbearer and Rook) since if they're hanging around together, you'll get blown into oblivion before you get a chance to use it's damage, as well as stunned.

if you are upgrading citadel first, then theres a better chance the whole team can get them with gold upgrades.  Team should come first.

+300 damage is before crits.  So it's still better.

And don't count on getting 2 15k+ items..

You act as if a team playing for a bracelet will completely ignore all upgrades on the citadel.  It will only take one member pushing a bracelet to get things rolling.  They can skimp more on less important upgrades.  Even if the enemy team is nuke oriented it puts a ton of damage on the field.  If they meet up 3v3, that is three instances of +300 damage when the bracelet is thrown.  That is going to make a big difference.

 

i am sorry but i will have to disagree.  The sell back prices on items are quite good, you can make interim upgrades that will ensure you have the killing power to blow up the enemy DG's.  Once you can start smiting the enemy DG's regularly it creates a cascade of dominance (you get tons more gold in short order which equals even better items, which makes you even more unstoppable.)

Using ground spikes on a building as QoT and then popping Bracelet of Rage makes amazingly short work of any buildings, even citadels!
