As you said: you only can use this guide, when you are really fed...but most times, esspecialy in ranked games this isn't the case...unfortunatly...but for that it's a good guide! +1 :)

If you are interessted: I made a guide for ranked games...where you dont need to be fed this much :) feel free to check out if you are interested :)

Lol, good eye. As you said, there aren't any mana issues with Graves. If there are hit 'B' and heal at base. This build works really well in middle lane and side lanes since the doarn's blades give +100 HP, +10 AD and +3% lifesteal. For what its worth, it isn't bad, keeps you in lane a bit longer, gives you a chance to heal while pushing the lane/farming gold and incenses buckshot's damage output.

You are right about rushing the B. F. Sword. It gives a major boost to your damage output, buckshot and collateral damage. I find that Graves needs AD first before attack speed. The reason is that his quickdraw gives him a temporary speed boost which its cooldown is reduced by 1 second every time you auto attack. Afterwards its just rushing attack speed and critical chance.

Whenever I play ranged carry I'd always start with boots and 3 pots just for survivability
then farm enough for that BF sword. I usually delay upgrading boots until I have at least two full items build (infinity edge/bloodthirster/black cleaver/phantom dancer). Then grab the boots of my choice depending on the game's turnout and evaluating the enemy team (do I need that magic resist/armor/health?) and building accordingly maybe even switching up your build when you're done with your core build. Not enough mana? Get philosopher's stone! It's only beneficial mid to late game when you're low on money and mana (too bad it doesn't stack anymore). And it's better than a Manamune.

It seems you don't have much mana issues with Graves, looking at your utility mastery page. But if you do, maybe switch up the time spent dead with the mp/hp regeneration per level?

Also, nice copy pasta there. We all have those lazy moments :D

Face palm...

Fixed and credited.

Think about it again, you can't have a skill maxed at level 8 ...

Try level 9 ;)

Thanks olafftw, glad to hear.

Of course Blowfeld, Graves really only has 1 attack spell that isn't his ult :P .

Buckshot maxed at level 8?

No wonder people say he is OP ;)

Really nice build !! Helped me a lot !
Thanks
