... but what exactly is stopping me from using my trusty old Spellvamp Quints and the mastery, while at the same time being able to just build a 
as first item? Omnivamp is kinda nice ^^
Not sure what you were trying, but thanks for making my very first main to be balanced around spellvamp not existing :)
Sahn Uzal5 votesthey removed the stat known as spellvamp from the shop. not from teh game.
SaltyToplaneGoat1 votesThey removed it being accessable for mages. Revolver doesn't give any and WotA is gone.
However, that is for most as if it didn't exist ^^
SailorSeal1 votesPeople usually complain about Vlad and his WotA being gone. But yeah, why NOT use Gunblade in its place?
SaltyToplaneGoat1 votesYour early-powerspike comes later, but that's all I can think of. But if you are really good at last-hitting early this might not be a problem. Just start a longsword to help yourself with the csing and then just aim for the perfect CS. Shouldn't take long until you have the cash together for the item.
