Good AP build. Nice desc, i must say i bought Sion only for AP build fun when i want to relax a bit :P

The only thing i miss in this build is mana tbh... i tend to use a bit mana/mana regen items coz he drains is realy fast even after the boost he got in latest patch.

Nice build and awesome description, i'll be looking forward to playing Sion this way +1

But your "Proff of Awesomeness" is a bit dull, nothing special.
I might aswell add that I get 13/3/11"Epic Win" to 7/8/4"Omg too much fed".

25/2/10, is my personal favourite with MK-TMoM.

Thanks DEWO. I agree that he's not the most tricky character to play, but certainly satisfying :)

I know what you mean with his mana issues which is part of why this build depends on getting a lot of golem love. I'm considering putting the Lich Bane before the zhonya's for the extra mana and the possibility that it might actually increase your damage more. More tests required :P

Alahric, hopefully you have some good luck with this build! I agree that those scores aren't mind blowing, but all of them tend to end really quick. Its hard to put a tangible measure on the fact that in all of those games I could run around with almost no fear of the enemy. As I tried to point out you probably won't get quadra kills and rack up their whole team, but with a halfway decent team you'll walk all over your enemy :)

Cheers!

Never knew his stun could do so much damage. In combination with his shield, you can deal massive amounts of damage. Good build. +1

And to the getting Lich before zhonya's, lich requires more AP to be effective so your lich damage would be reduced by quite a bit if you got it before zhonya.

I did a minor update to the build. I now have Lich Bane *before* Zhonya's Ring to allow your current AP to go further, give you more mana, and the run speed is handy. Either way can work, but I found the extra utility and more constant damage output with it very handy.

Also even with the removal of life steal from Haunting Guise I'm still leaving it on there. The flat MrP is still awesome, and the little buff they gave its HP/AP is nice :)

I play Sion more and more now as AP, and I even joined a clan with that matter of play style.
As goes for Sion if you are running with ap, you always start out with most burst = your shield burst. Magic penetration runes an ap runes goes a looooong way with this. Dont think about your lane mate in the early games until lv 9-10 +- with your stun. It cost a LOT of mana to use; actually more like useable 2 times and you are oom. Sucks! Start with shield and then pop in when you can break it. That will make you go "Boom Boom Boom, I want i my killscore" and it's really just unbelieveable dmg since the shield is made for dmg absorubtion. Op, meh. good burst, oh yaz!
And no Haunting Guise plz - Void staff! More ap and ap penetration + it gives even more ap with Zohnya's ring. Gg
Build would be Amplyfieng tome - Mejai's
Boots
Void staff
Nathor's tooth IS good for ability power and cd reduction, its great, havnt really thought about since I dont focus attack speed but flat ap build. The recipy item for Frozen heart, the mark that gives mana and 20% cd reduction is great too.
But after this
Zohnya's ring
and final item would Lich bane.
I USE to play him with flat ap, which means 2 or 3 Zohnya's ring because i got bored in the end, and at that time, they stacked!!! Doesn't do that anymore.. eek..
But this particular build with give you around 550-600 +- ap which is OP!
- Almost 1k shield burst, or 1k absourbtion.
- 500 stun.. Beazty **** going on there!
and dont forget something REALLY badass.. Lich bane procs EAT your oppenents with melee dmg thx to your high ap (;

Peace, and sorry if im an *******, just trying to help.

No worries, you're not being an ******* Xanhast. I just think you missed a few key points in my build :)

First off, I'm intentionally stacking *flat* MrP which in turn makes percent based MrP kind of pointless; flat MrP is applies before percent based reduction, so it makes that stuff worse. Also because I'm stacking flat MrP I need Haunting Guise for its help.

As for shield vs gaze, I agree with you completely. My build maximizes shield first and I expect that it'll be the main spell you use early on. The 2 sec stun is still handy for beating people up, but you certainly don't want to spam it. I think we're both agreeing on this point :)

Thanks for the comment!

Cheers,

Dang man, this got me thinking. I've been playing Sion waaayyy wrong. He's already got the tank part. I had tried to put more health on him. Warmog's=dumb. I might try a nuke caster's build on him. Put him at 700+ AP
