You should get tear of the godess first so you can get more mana and faster mana regen. Then get boots.

I personally can handle mana troubles fine with MV, but that is a good idea and I will put it in the item build.

Thanks for the feedback

Tbh, I don't think two archangel's staffs are necessary, if you can play Malzahar well enough with Malefic Visions and without Clarity, you should be fine. Maybe get Rylai's Crystal Scepter for the extra HP and slow?

I buy the second Archangel's Staff to maximize AP, the passive that converts 3% of your maximum mana into AP stacks. If you feel like you need more HP then you can go for a Rylai's Scepter if you want to. I personally think that Malz is an all or nothing nuker though, the slowing wouldnt make too much of a difference, although can help in team fights with all of his AOE abilities.

This guy is clearly a badass. I agree with his build.

This build is just about perfect. If I wanted to look for mistakes I could but it's so good I don't want to. +1 for the tips on NG.

Thanks man, nice to see people are reading the guide part and not just copying down the item build.

To whoever downvotes my build, if you dont know how to play malz well and you dont read my guide, you can do pretty badly with these items. If you read my suggestions, this build is awesome. Malz is a tough character, but I've tried to cover as many of the difficult aspects of him as I can. However if there was another reason it was downvoted, plz comment on what you did not like so I will know if something needs to be changed.

These are only suggestions to the build.
1. Rylais is a great item for Malzahar. He needs the slow, the hp and the AP. Great item for him overall.
2. Stacking a 2nd Archangel staff will only give 450 MP and 45 AP. The unique passive doesn't stack with each one so once you have one Archangel Staff, you can only stack 1000 mana, it's pointless getting another one unless you really need the MP and MP regen.
3. For runes, some AP boost is useful.
