ah so it's talking about cost efficiency. I was wondering because that is very confusing the way it's written. They mix AD effectiveness and cost effectiveness in the same point.

That being said i don't really agree with the cost efficiency. The stats on the cloak and chain vest remain unchanged so your basically paying 825g for 2% of your health converted to damage. If you where to pay for AD outright it's about 37g/AD so 825g is 22.3 AD. All you need is to have 1114HP to make that worth while. A much more useful stat to think about, especially if the armour and Crit chance are useful for you.

The other thing to think about is since it increases your crit by 18% your total damage will scale as well. For AD carries that can be a significant amount of damage. Even if Atmas Impaler does not give as much raw AD as the BF sword it may increase you total damage more than a BF sword or even a bloodthirstier if you have enough HP and can benefit from crits. Lets assume you rely on auto attacks and have a base damage of 100. for 3200 you can get a bloodthirster which increases your average damage to 200. Atmas impaler will also give an average damage of 200 with 70 AD + 18% chance to crit, that's 3500HP. The larger your AD the more the crit% will be worth. If you have an Infinity Edge then you only need 2077hp to make Atmas impaler better than a bloodthirstier and at a much lower cost.

Incidentally this items is awesome on gangplank.
