Talk:Duskblade of Draktharr/@comment-27386364-20160213070509

Duskblade of Draktharr sounds OP until you realize that the enemies you could kill with it would have died faster with a Youmuu's Ghostblade for 50 gold cheaper.

See, the thing is, Duskblade's Armor Penetration only works with basic attacks, it doesn't work with Nightfall. Its extra 90+25% missing health damage every two minutes is mitigated by the entirety of the enemy's armor.

Meanwhile, with a Youmuu's Ghostblade, every basic attack you make, 20 of the enemy's armor gets ignored unlike the 10 ignored with a Duskblade basic attack. Plus, you get +40% attack speed and +20% Movespeed on a 45 second cooldown instead.

TLDR: Youmuu's Ghostblade is a much better item on pretty much everyone.
