Ok so quick question, I play a lot of lux and usually my build is
ludens>deathcap>void staff.
The more popular build I see is ludens>morellonomicon>deathcap
Breakdown: morellonomicom: 70 ap, 300 health, 15 magic pen, grevious wounds
Deathcap: 120 ap, 40% ability power
Ap with morellonomicon: 224
Ap with deathcap: 294
My question: as long as theres not really a need for grevious wounds or the 15 magic pen wouldnt it be more effective to go deathcap?
You always use the 15 Mpene. It penetrates base resistances so I don't get how you "wouldn't need" it.
Also, you need to compare stages too.
For example
Is way better than the large rod for 350g more. And double rod is just 500 off of morello's cost.
And since you are most likely to build Morello at some point anyway, might as well get it out the way.
If you are already oneshotting things, or have 3600 after recall, or if enemies got some weak mres here and there(but not enough to justify a void 2nd), or if you have stacked mejai, get a deathcap If you need some punch power right now and nobody is getting mres for now, oblivion orb will give you some nice penetration. Together with boots you ignore 32 mres, which is almost all mres enemy squishies have at that point I usually prefer having more power later than less power right now, so I build rabadons 2nd
