Aether lens

[Mr. Wizzard]

why aether lens doesn´t work with axe´s skills???

[ĞÁMĔβŐŶ]

it will increase the range of his W cast thats all dude

[lulborne]

I think it increases the range of his ult as well.

Will try and update on this

[lulborne]

it does work. tested here. look at the pictures and you see the difference:

-Axe's Battle Hunger-
with Aether:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=782143082
without Aether:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=782142952

-Axe's Culling Blade-
with Aether:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=782142683
without Aether:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=782142807

It might also increase the damage of his spells since Aether Lens increases Spell Damage after all (not just magic, but any spell you use regardless of the damage type). don't think aether lens is a good item on Axe though, but that's beside the point.

How about checking this yourself next time? Just test the hero and you can see these interactions yourself.

i know, it works for those 2 skills, but the other 2 are the most important (in my opinion) for axe just look match id 2715038595 ( i know, not my best match). Also it works perfectly on omniknight´s aura.

Aether lense doesn't affect the range of abilities that aren't single target. Helix and call get no extra range and neither does omni's aura.

[lulborne]

a correction if I may... while it doesn't increase the AOE of the spell, it does increase the range from where you can cast it. as long as you can cast it on something, the range will increase. doesn't matter if it's a single target spell or not.

take CM's frostnova per example. the AOE is the same with or without Aether Lens, but you are able to cast from afar if you have the item.

I'm not sure, however, if Aether lens increases the damage of passives like Helix. Not in the mood to check or test it either, but if you do, I'll be curious to know.

anyway, a starting point would be here: http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Aether_Lens/Interactions

about omni's aura btw, the effect lingers for at least a second or something even if you are out of range, so that's probably what happened.

When aether was added it stated it affect the same spells as linken's sphere which are single target, ground target, etc. As long as the spell requires you to click somewhere inside a cast range when selecting it, aether lense will increase that cast range (but not the AOE like you said). Also passive abilities like counter helix are already affected by spell amp and will be increased by aether's lense addition. You can hold alt over the ability to see the actual damage values when factoring spell amp.

sorry but i have an extra id match now with omni 2713211366 you can see at min 14:00 and 17:20 the range of omni´s aura. Again, i think, i suck at suppourt :)

you don't have to show me any id. go test the interactions in the demo mode.

as for The Technomancer, the thing i corrected about your previous comment was that aether lens would only increase the range of a "single target" spell, but as we know, it doesn't need to be the case. it just needs to be a spell that you have to cast it.

frostnova is not a single target spell and yet you can cast from afar if you have aether lens. by single target spells I think of spells that you have to select an unit to cast it.

I looked on the wiki after I posted it to check the specifics of targetting only to realize single target only applied to spells that target heroes directly. That was my bad.
