What Not to Pair with Deft

Avoid Deft + Slow and Steady: Avoid this pairing because Slow and Steady completely negates Deft's value. Slow and Steady sets your base attack speed to a static 0.625 and prevents your attack rate from benefiting from any attack speed bonuses, rendering the 60% bonus attack speed from Deft entirely useless. Avoid Deft + Purist - Caster: Avoid this pairing because Purist - Caster converts all bonus attack speed into ability haste, directly removing the 60% bonus attack speed that Deft provides. This creates a hard mechanical conflict where one augment immediately negates the other's primary benefit. Avoid Deft + Upgrade Sword of Blossoming Dawn: Avoid this pairing because Upgrade Sword of Blossoming Dawn reduces your basic attack damage against champions to 50%, which severely diminishes the value of the 60% bonus attack speed from Deft. You attack faster but deal significantly less damage per hit against champions. Avoid Deft + ADAPt: Avoid this pairing because ADAPt converts all bonus attack damage into ability power, which creates poor synergy for attack speed builds. Deft provides attack speed that scales best with AD and on-hit effects, but ADAPt shifts your build toward AP where attack speed has less impact.
