Building Both Void Staff and Deathcap

Ifneth··1 votes·780 views

When the game goes past three items, I notice that two choices seem better than all others, simply based on pure stats. For a core of

item 3285 item 3020 item 3165 item 3157

The optimal choice, for an artillery or burst mage facing squishy or softer targets, seems to be

item 3135 item 3089

While the item 3151 item 3116 combo might be good for battle mages, anyone who wants to combo should build the former two items. Scaling penetration helps their base damage get through and increases the value of their AP stack against resistant targets. Scaling AP benefits both their waveclear and damage by making their raw AP even more valuable.

Has anyone found otherwise?

These are just good because Void Staff gives a crap ton of magic pen and Rabadon's gives so much AP. Although when I play mages, instead of Luden's I go Spellbinder(I play Karthus). That is because the 200 AP given by Spellbinder when it has active up(for my ulti). I don't think Liandry's and Rylai's is that good anymore, because they just don't give enough AP. I would say the item set you proposed would be the best, save Luden's would be Spellbinder in my case.
