Oh dear, I love your Guides :)
This Vlad Guide is very in-depth and I have not found anything i would consider being "bad"(Maybe you should mention the Ionian Boots of Lucidity as an alternatice to Sorcerers Boots, CdR is self-explanatory i think ;D). No, really IMO this should be the new Top-Vlad Guide, because it leaves anything else behind.
Keep up the good Work!

I believe persephone is referring to my build since she informed me as well. Actually upon checking this guide/build out yours is, while similar, not the same. The starting items and the order is very different. And order is important. My guide is focused upon beginners and I would never recommend a new vlad of getting Rabadon's Deathcap before Rylai's Crystal Scepter. However once a person becomes comfortable with Vlad it is very viable. Heck I do it more often than not myself. Sometimes I even skip Rylai's completely.

As far as the matter at hand I have no problems and do not think any of this was taken stolen etc etc. So if Crazy Smurf has no problems I have none with the similarity. Similar is not the same... and in a game like this purchase order is important to a build.

Besides... it is another Defense Tree advocate. And we need more of those.

Okay build. Love the guide though :) But I can't see not getting Rylai's Crystal Scepter first. It is made for Vladimir. The slow is so nice for early ganks and the health and ability power are wonderful. Also you said that he was a Mage Carry so why are you gettin a support item. Will of the ancients just doesn't suit his offensive playstyle and he doesn't need spell vamp because of his Transfusion. Also I find levelling Sanguine Pool after Tranfusion much better in comparison to levelling Tides of Blood after Transfusion. The extra damage really helps in earlier fights with less people and especially in 1v1. Also earlier in the game you don't have that much health and to use Tides of Blood effectively you have to keep it at 4 stacks at all times and earlier in the game this will really hurt your health bar and you will be unable to keep it up. Just some thoughts. Not to big on the build but I like the guide :)

Spamming Rabadon's is just not good enough, pretty lame. Good write up but really take a deeper look into the items.

Your typical build is decent; your Cap-stacking build is a bit more limited in being used. However, one thing that is an underlying basis for your build that needs to be emphasized is the fact that your build depends on the familiarity between you and your teammates. If you used this build in normal or ranked solo que, it will not help you or your team as much as other items.

For example, if you and/or your team is doing well, getting a Soulstealer early on will snowball substantially towards the mid to late game. If your team is going toe-to-toe or even struggling against the other side, getting that Rylai's might be a better idea than either Soulstealer, Will, or Cap beacuse the slow from Rylai's will provide a much larger benefit to your team, especially the squishier AD carries, than 30 AP and 20% spell vamp.

Another possible change to your item build that I would suggest is swapping the boots out for a regen pendant, which can either build into Warmog or FoN (but more likely Warmog). I would suggest this because it provides solid and constant early game regen. To be sure, 3 pots and boots are good, too. However, having sustained regen helps keep you in your lane longer than pots, especially against heroes with high burst and/or long range and/or fast MS. For example, the revamped Ryze. But again, it is a suggestion. To each his own (and to be flexible with the situation).


At first, thanks for a plenty long comment, it's appreciated. You know, I have played Vlad with Mejais probably once, but back then I was a weak player, later in-depth of the gameplay I found snowball items useless for me. About me and my teammates... well, Vladimir surely is team-dependant, I can't disagree, but a good Vlad Player can outrank even a 1v3 fight without dying and getting 1-2 kills. When it comes to stacking Rabadon, strangely, the difference in 1 Rabadon and 2 of them is more than big. It's enormous to be certain. About HP Regen, you know, I remember times when I was using Warmogs on Vlad and they weren't much of a success and so I've always started with Boots/Tome. It's just dependant on the player, whether he prefers to be more versatile in fight or just to go aggresive (personally 2nd option with Vladimir). He dominates a lane and so additional Regen isn't my type.

Pretty nice, but don't take Rabadon's only :P

Gratz, DaBo

How to add Icons and Images

@Panglot: Are we here to discuss about peing all proffesional? Sure, in Ranked Games and Tournaments you must adapt to your enemy and counter them. But in Normal Games with Friends, who gives a damn whether you stack Rabadons for fun or not.

Edit: Just because you guys want more items in "Purchase Order" I added a typical build allowing you to get on High AP with a little survability and Aura Effects. Hope you like it.

If you think its good do it. Watch some streams and pro games with the best players. If you show me one of the players stacking Caps Ill never talk again...

This build really shows how the stack 1 type of item can be idiotic strong, looks like the old stack BF Sword on kat and panth.

One thing: you should tell them to build only Needlessly Large Rods after the first Rabbadon if they decide to stack them, because you can buy 2 of them as they give 160 AP for 3200 instead of 155 for 3600.
