Just curious to know if it does increase Arcane Orb's damage. If it does, it may be a pretty good item on OD I think.

It does, but 8% is miniscule and really not worth the investment. Think of it like an Octarine Core - you buy it for the cooldowns, not the lifesteal.

That's true.

Ok, let's look at the other stats now. So it gives 250 mana (more damage from Arcane Orb), 8 health regen (helps OD heal from harass damage early on), 200 increased spell range (so you can imprison people from further away), and it even a nifty 15% magic resistance, for a relatively cheap price. Force Staff is cheaper and probably has more utility, but it's fun to think that Aether Lens could come this close to being better.

I dont think you need it. I'd much rather get Atos since it gives so much more intelligence and buffs up your squishyness. Aether Lens could do that...but I think that a 60% slow and 40% accuracy reduction on 12 second cooldown is much better than some slight damage increase and cast range. Maybe vs. long range heroes it would be good.

This is kind off-topic but I think OD is a little too strong right now:
18-4 Rapier on Him
I didn't even get mid cuz Pugna stole it. His damage output is ridiculous now, and he can actually push (AI the first creep in your wave).
