Im seeing Surge of Power only providing a +34 boost now when previously it was 50+. At first I thought perhaps it scaled with my total spirit damage, and what is why it was displaying this way. I checked through the patch notes but cannot find its nerf. Previously it was a great option over boundless spirit (not that you wouldn't get both) due to its price point. But now buying it as a short stop over Improved spirit is much less value rather than geting improved spirit to then purchase boundless sooner. Now when we compare this item to other items in its price point, just look at whats its up against for only a +34 to ONE ability instead of improved spirit to every ability you have. It has only +75 health on it, and the movement speed most is nearly moot when considering fleet footwork is being played on every single hero due to its cheap cost, broken passive, and massive farming/rotating edge. Other items in its class may have less spirit damage, but most of them have 3-4 additional stats. Superior Duration with even +175 HP. Silence has a burst that would on average deal more damage then an ability imbued with surge of power would get, because it scales with your spirit.
Anyhow, loved this item for awhile, but cutting 38% of its power down makes a lot less appealing when we have limited slots. Maybe it is ideal for less heros now that dont require as many items from Weapon/Vitality. The question is now when would the right timing be over stronger items, saving your money to get a 6k monster. Prob not that often.
