Vitality Tier 2 Item: Bullet Guard

[Rosgath]

Given the implementation of Spirit Snatch, I think the format that our friend cjflaherty4 set up is a good one for making the item's purpose and potency clear. Since the item I'm suggesting is a vitality Item, it's name at the top is in green. (I think. I'm colorblind, so it might actually be red or brown). Anyway, moving on.

Bullet Guard:

• Vitality item
• Tier 2 item
• Costs 1,250 souls

Stat Bonuses:

• +8% Bullet Resist
• +8% Spirit Resist
• +10% Ammo capacity

Passive:
You gain increased bullet and spirit resist while parrying and successfully parrying increases the speed of your next Heavy Melee attack.

• +25% increased Bullet and Spirit resist while parrying
• +50% Heavy Melee attack speed after parrying.

Since we just saw a really strong melee item get introduced into the item pool, I think it would be interesting to see a solid counter to it while also encouraging even whiffed parries.

Ah so it essentially turns the parry button into a lil guard button. Really awesome idea.

I think the resist should be higher considering the 6 second cool down on parry. Maybe the resists last only for the duration of the parry when you miss but on successful parry it lasts like another 6-10 seconds after.

Its interesting gameplay wise because if youre in a teamfight and the opposing team has a melee build that player has to avoid you in a scenario where its much easier to melee for free so that theyre team can actually kill you off. Also you can parry minions and guardians for resistance, earlier on to win fights which i think is a very interesting play on the mechanics

Good idea.
