UB Favor items

from Demigod Forums

I'm a bit torn between the Furious Blade (15% chance of 30% attack speed increase and +100 hp +5% attack speed ) and the Poison Blade (20% chance of 25% snare and +5% attack speed) for the beast.  The poison blade's snare is nice, especially early on, but I'm just not sure how well it scales to end game compared with the Furious Blade.  Level 20 with Furious Blade, Mageslayer, Ass boots and I'm hitting .52 attack speed (.02 above cap) when the blade triggers.  It's pretty deadly. 

I wish I could put my points into berserk fury or whatever it's called instead of spit, but spit just seems way too good.

Opinions?  (has anyone tried the Furious Blade with the artifact that does the same thing?  do they stack?)

I bought swift anklets (15% speed boost) and that coupled with the initial purchase of the boots of speed gave me a tremendous early game speed advantage...

imo anklets , banded armor and scaled helm ( or whatever the 525 mana helm costs) , takes a few secs extra but well worth it , your fast enough to get the boots later and you have a more staying power/harass opportunities in lane =)

This. To snare somebody you have to catch them first anyway. UB is usually the fastest DG in a game with Anklet, Boots, skill and innate fast speed, which pretty much eliminates the need for snare effects. Anklets also help more against demigods early game, and good early game means you can later afford to buy those damage items.

I find planning for ultimate lvl 20 build isn't really helpful, most games won't go that far, and even if they do, good early game can make up for weaker items later. Though Anklets' effect is pretty much irreplaceable even lategame.

Anklets. It's too easy to reach the .5 cap with Beast anyway.

If you're good with UB, you don't need the anklets to catch players.. buying the 1000g boots at the start of a game will be enough for you.

Furious blade all the way. Then stack it with mageblade and the top gloves (forget the name). If you add any more lifesteal/attackspeed on top of this combo, you're pretty much unkillable.

bracelet of Rage + Hear of life + the 6.750g boots = win

Anklets (with Boots of Speed), so I'm 99% of the time the fastest DG in the game, letting me avoid Inner Beast and Diseased Claws till late game (level 15+). 90% of my damage comes from abilities, so Furious Blade is useless to me.

hold of on your favor item until you know what you are up against, if you are dealing with a vamp go for an anklet, if you are dealing with anything else its pretty much up to you which of the two blades you are going to use.
