DOTA IDEAS A DOTA 2 INTERACTIVE FORUM

General Changes:
+ Str increased from 19 + 2 > 20 + 2.1
- Agi (Gain) decreased from 21 + 3.2 > 21 + 3.1
+ Int increased from 15 + 1.7 > 18 + 1.8

Rework Summary:
* Stifling Dagger is unchanged.
* Phantom Strike no longer gives you the physical burst it used to. Instead, it provides defensive utility through evasion. The cooldown/final mana cost is lowered and the early cast range is slightly nerfed.
* Fan of Knives is now a basic ability. No longer provides a burst of damage and break (at least until shard). Instead, it applies a bleeding effect which deals fixed + Max HP based DoT. The attack speed steroid is now tied to Fan of Knives instead of Phantom Strike.
* Although the attack speed boost is much lower, it now applies to all allies that attack the bleeding enemy. And also gives a higher critical chance to PA herself. It allows PA to contribute damage to fights even if she falls behind.
* Can also work as an okay farming tool, but requires mana for a low int hero like PA. Later on, it also makes coup de grace crits much more consistent.
* Aghs Shard provides the break effect and also applies the dagger debuff to all enemies hit by fan of Knives. This provides PA with some degree of soft disable.
* Coup de Grace is mostly the same as before, with a slightly lower crit damage and higher chance so that it can be better amplified by the bleeding effect.
* Blur is a new ability provided by Aghs Scepter. It no longer provides passive evasion and instead only has the active effect, with the fade delay removed. The scepter provides an automatic cast of Fan and also gives a burst of cooldown acceleration to items/abilities on kills. (instead of refreshing abilities). This incentivises more aggressive use of Blur.

* Level 10 right Talent provides some more reach with W and replaces the old talent at 15. Left is the same as before
* Level 15 Left Talent can help to speed up farm for longer games, while the Right Talent can provide sustain in fights
* Level 20 Talents left talent can be useful for games when the opponents do not have a way of dealing with evasion. Right is the same as before
* Level 25 Talents are almost the same as before. The increased coup chance can be further amplified by the bleeding effect (increasing the total proc chance to (20 + 7) * 1.5 = 40.5%)

* Stat Changes give her a little more str (since she doesn't have consistent evasion) and int (to cast her E). Agi gain is slightly nerfed to compensate
* Overall items can worry less about farming (since the new W and level 15 can shore up her farming speed) and can focus more on surviving and getting PA in fighting shape since she needs some mana for her active abilities and some more survivability to offset the evasion loss.
