It should be . Maybe give it the idol's mana regen and make it cost 2700 or 2800 total.

Build path fixed.

Fully agreed. When I first saw the PBE notes on ER, I thought "Oh that's cool, but that's a LOT of money before you start recouping mana and by the time you get that money together for it, your mana issues aren't nearly as pressing" so I figured there would be a smaller component made to give a smaller taste of it's benefits a bit earlier (a la item 3191 ).

Haven't had a chance to use it too much (play mostly tanks myself), but from the outside, it seems to be a bit of a "win more" item.

I think it's nice on a few champs: Ashe, AD Poppy, Jayce, and Varius come to mind. Maybe top Vi and FF Jax too.

I think mana dependent tops would like the item when they are laning against a manaless champ.

Oh yeah. I picked one up as Gangplank against a Vladimir so wouldn't have to bring mana pots to keep up with his sustain and it worked really well...though I really was already winning the lane quite handily and was able to pick it up really quickly (8 minutes or so). If it were the other way around and I was getting zoned out though, I don't know when I'd have the chance to get it over something more defensive.

I wish it were more like Athene's build path and had a Chalice pit stop halfway to finishing the item. It would make the mana passive arrive earlier.

You deserve 10 upvotes. Riot, please use item 3114 item 1037 in the build path. Mana items should be bought early, and is much easier to afford early than item 1038 . The +8 mana regen from doesn't even need to stay in item 3508 .
