linken vs bloodstone? in General Discussion
Luxon

    I just thought about this. If you don't really need the shield from linken(vs. veno,lycan,death and nature's prophets etc.) and would greatly benefit from better stats s , bloodstone is better?
    If you choose bloodstone over linken, you gain extra 215 HP , 205 mana, 3.55 HP regen, 125 gold and potentially much higher mana regen. While you lose 15 damage and attack speed and 2.1 armor. discuss.

      Nothing to discuss...

      Depends on situation...
      Depends on hero...

      GREAT :D

          Linken's offers +15 atributes while bloodstone doesn't offer anything beyond raw hp and mana. Weaver, Medusa and Morph benefit way more from stats than what you get from bloodstone so it's not a smart choice, imo.

            Casual soul booster is legit on some heroes

              Depending on the enemy lineup and game situation going Bloodstone over Linken's is legit IMO. I'll admit that it's a pretty rare situation though.

                For which hero -.-
                For storm everyone would choose bloodstone over linken
                for fighting doom, linken is a must.

                  bloodstone > linken

                        Concede- Only idiot would build soul booster and dont make from it bloodstone lol.

                          stats=/= attributes and you only really sacrifice +15 agility. strength and int are irrelevant for those heroes.

                            ^^ are you referring to weaver morph and medusa with that????

                            Luxon

                              any hero? what's difference between 400 hp and 9 hp regen and 15 strength and 5 hp regen, the first one is better. and even for strength heroes it doesn't matter because it's +15 to all attributes.

                                They are tottaly different items, and kinda, you cant just compare them

                                  linkens is a possible item for all heroes, unless there are zero target spells on the enemy (impossibruuu)
                                  bloodstone is mostly for mana intensive heroes like storm, leshrac, tinker

                                  no one builds linkens for purely for stats, why are u even comparing them
                                  might as well throw in DR into the mix....cause its an item too, it has feelings!

                                    bloodstones pretty solid on, as said before, mana intensive heros, and if you can get a ton of kills with it thats a plus to add charges/regen.

                                    the buildup on bloodstones a lot better than that of linkens (arcanes/perseverance are both super useful early on and arcanes can be disassembled into stone, whereas theres a 2.1k item in linkens and the parts dont offer a lot by themselves (well persev does but thats a 5k buildup with minimal benefits prior to completing the whole item
