Phase Boots and Power Treads in General Discussion

    I noticed players like Gorgc and others go for Power Treads on heroes like Ursa, Jugger which need the movement speed to get kills.
    They usually go for a wind lance after that to make up for speed. But is that worth it?
    Does anyone have insight on this topic?

      Well power treads on agility heroes is pretty cost effective since it has interchangeable stats with treading switch so being agi provides additional attack speed and armour for both heroes in question. Both heroes are also pretty mana starved early on so treading switching can alleviate that problem to, there's also the fact both heroes want to atk as many times as possible in a short space of time since both are burst heroes. Another thing is the patch change with movespeed and boots in general since boots only give flat movespeed increase instead of percentage. In short getting treads and wind-lace makes up for the changes to boots so yes it is worth it, plus it can also be built into drums which both heroes like.

          I think they do it mostly for the tread switch ability and I get wind lance even with phases.

                a sign of a good player is having a wind lance in his inventory, said by a top 100 player :)
