Max order is pretty much always Q-E-W, but you should get W early to avoid jungle ganks. If your enemy has an early game jungler, it might even be worth it to get W at level 2. Use your Q to sustain and last hit. Q is instant, so if your basic attack projectile won't last hit the minion in time, you can use your Q to get that CS. You should rush a spellvamp item (most likely item 3152 ), because E has high health cost early game. Using E before getting item 3145 will deplete your health very quickly, especially if you're trying to keep 4 stacks up. Late game, keeping it at 4 stacks even if you're not near enemies is a good idea.

You get free health from AP, so you can build things like item 3001 or item 3157 and increase your survivability drastically. item 3116 gives you AP and health, which gives you more AP and health from passive. Pretty much all AP+defensive items are good on Vlad.

summoner 6 can be a better escape than summoner 4 , because W lets you move and avoid CC. Using ghost right before W means that you'll be quickly running away from enemies. You won't be able to flash over walls to chase enemies, so it's not objectively better, but ghost has much lower cooldown, so it can save your life more often than flash can.
