GHOST SCEPTER bugged?

[Jaano]

Game: 4193828596 and exactly 45min mark, Bristleback kills Axe, even Axe has Ghost Scepter ON and u can also see Quills spray sets Blink dagger to 3s cooldown, so Axe cant blink.

Quill Spray is Physical dmg, yet it does dmg to heros who are useing Ghost Scepter?

Is GHOST SCEPTER working as intended or bugged as hell?

[ringoss]

The Ghost Scepter is an item purchasable at the Main Shop, under Arcane.
Turns the user ethereal, disarming them, rendering them attack immune, and granting 100% physical damage resistance

Physical spell damage
Physical damage from abilities (and theoretically items) is usually unaffected by armor type, as they are not considered to be attacks.

so, not bugged

Ghost Scepter only prevents auto attacks.

What if Pudge Hooks u, and u activate GhostScepter. Hook will miss.

Ghost scepter seems to be really bad item now.

it was always only good for pub games, and turning into eth blade.

I dont get where the logic is, Ghost Scepter says it protects from physical dmg, yet spells that do Physical dmg type bypass Ghost scepter? Idiotic.
Ghost Scepter seems to waste of time item.

Its not waste. Ghost scepter is good item if you dont want to die from right click carries. It doesnt stop spells, and abilities and never did. If you think you dont need it, dont build it. Its kinda meaningless to complain about this because you dont seem to understand what spells which do magical or physical damage are.
Also bumping or writing up is considered spam . If your thread died no need to revive it. Youll get same replies.

I got long history in MOBA games, Dota1 and HON.
Now i moved to Dota2.

In HON this same (Void Talisman) item blocked for 4seconds all physical attacks or spells/abilities that had physical dmg type.

Like for example a dodging Pudge hook. Ghost Scepter does the same here in Dota2.

Also Ghost Scepter info says it prevents from getting physical dmg, but is then punished for getting extra Magical dmg.


The Logic in this Ghost Scepter item is stupid if u still get dmg from abilities that do physical dmg, when the item should be protecting u from incomeing physical dmg.

Change the info of this item then?

"Item protects u from autoattack, for 4seconds"


No Logic what so ever.

[:D]

where are all the riki haters now ? when we talk about ghost scepters ?

[skibidi.ballz]

i watched the replay, you casted battle hunger on bristleback, and by the time you activated your ghost scepter, bristleback has the blademail activated as well, thus setting you blink dagger on cooldown from the return damage of battle hunger that you casted on him. next time, please analyze your matches carefully and maybe watch the replay for yourself.

Physical dmg from right click aint the same as dmg from spells /abilities /items that do physical damage.
They are respectively called Physical attack damage (PAD) and Physical spell damage (PSD).
PAD cannot target ethereal units (such as Pugna Decripify, Necro Gost shroud and Ghost Scepter/Eblade) and PSD can target unit regardless of ethereal state. PSD damage is only reduced by damage block (items or abilities that provide block).
Youre mixing them up because they both have "physical" word in it but they are different types of damage.

Thanks for solving his confusion, maybe he calms down now.

agreed, but who's op?

[mad scientist]

Ghost scepter does block physical spell damage such as Slithreen crush & Boundless strike. It should block Quill spray so im not entirely sure what are y'all talking about.
