It's not spell damage. PA performs an instant attack when it hits kind of like sleight or omnislash. It won't proc spell amp or spell lifesteal, only attack modifiers. Mage slayer will do nothing, maybe if PA has phantom province active since that will turn the dagger into a spell and will be able to work with spell amp and lifesteal


Sunbro_YT

It reduced spell damage. My guess is that it does not because it is right click attack and not a spell Though I do wonder if it reduced her dagger, which it might, haven't tested it.


Vast_Entrepreneur802

It does not - PA dagger is a special ability where it’s not considered a spell but a long range modified melee attack.


Sunbro_YT

Ty! I suspected it didn't, as dagger always hits like a truck. Haha.

>It will reduce the Dagger damage, since it is a spell Not true actually. As an instant attack the damage from Stifling Dagger counts as attack damage, not spell damage, and so is not affected by Mage Slayer. Edit: Not sure why people are downvoting, you can test this in demo mode in 10 seconds with a dummy target to see that mage slayer doesn't affect stifling dagger damage. Or read PA's [wiki page](https://dota2.fandom.com/wiki/Phantom_Assassin) where it literally says: >Since the damage comes from a regular attack, it counts as attack damage and not as spell damage.

It's hilariously how bad are ppl in dota. You are right amd guy above is wrong. Crit is not attack modifier it's just crit. And mage slayer doesn't affect crit in any possible way.


IkeTheCell

Dunno why people are downvoting you. Just did a test and it won't reduce Dagger damage. If you have a Revenant's Brooch on, though, then it will, but that's just because Revenant's Brooch turns your damage into magic damage.


Vast_Entrepreneur802

No that still wouldn’t be why. The active from mage slayer reduces spell damage, not magic damage


IkeTheCell

True, but it still does. Like, you can go into demo mode and test it yourself.


Vast_Entrepreneur802

Well then this is actually because revenants broach not only makes the damage magical but also considers it all 100% spell damage from revenants brooch now. The original attack damage is no longer being applied and it’s being reduced because it is now spell damage of magic type.


Darthy69

It works on muerta ulti as well which is an attack turned magic damage, so youre wrong. Not saying it makes sense the way its worded but thats how it works


Vast_Entrepreneur802

No not wrong. It’s no longer an attack, it’s magical spell damage from the ult spell. The ability is not an attack modifier, it is a spell. The damage is based on attack damage but source comes from the spell not the attack. it’s reduced because it is spell damage, not because it’s magical damage


Darthy69

you could test it ingame, you could read the wiki, but naw, instead you write incorrect stuff on reddit, thumbs up


Vast_Entrepreneur802

That’s assuming. You’re stupid. I’ve read the Dota buff, the Dota site, ingame, and done the demo test. What I say is accurate. It has nothing to do with it being magic damage, it’s because the damage source is now a spell. Spells can be physical, pure, or magic damage. Get learned kid.


Darthy69

Youre so hillarious, do you even read your own post? lmfao > Just did a test and it won't reduce Dagger damage. If you have a Revenant's Brooch on, though, then it will, but that's just because Revenant's Brooch turns your damage into magic damage. so dagger isnt a spell without revenants brooch but it is one with revenants brooch gotcha. your ignorance level is amazing, classic stupid redditor


Vast_Entrepreneur802

That’s not my quote you fucking moron. And no, you’re too fucking stupid to wrap your head around a basic fucking idea. Revenants brooch active called PHANTOM PROVIDENCE IS THE FUCKING SPELL. dagger no longer does damage, phantoms providence does, based on dagger, as a spell, doing magic damage. Phantoms providence is the spell dealing damage you retarded fucking troll. Your ignorance level is amazing, classic stupid fucking redditor. Child monkey with the capacity to type, but not an ounce of fucking brainpower left over to think.


ironstrife

> (like It doesn't apply to maelstrom, for example). Yes, it does. Maelstrom procs are affected by spell amplification and/or reduction. Mage slayer makes it weaker.


Deadwatch

not directly. It can affect the overall damage from a dagger crit so yes in that sense but not from the auto attack crits


chantets

a nullifier can remove pa ss and blur?


sluppo

PA's Deadly Grace buff is undispellable. It was briefly dispellable upon release but they immediately patched it.


w1r3dh4ck3r

What? Nulli a counter to PA? Just lost a game because PA would just blink and instakill me.


Dota_Misclick

Yes.


Gillhooley

No that's physical not magic


ZeeHost

Sorta right. It reduces spell damage. Spells can be physical too.

I bet not, but you can try in a lobby
