General Sion Advice

[quote=Nighthawk]mmmm, I just feel like a variant of my build does better damage and is still tanky thanks to his passive and shield. The only reason I play Sion is if I know i'll be able to just farm top for 40 min and b back with 8k gold and 4k hp :P[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Lol. Once you have 4k HP, building some resistances is just logical. At least a GA. But yeah, you're supposed to get like 300 CS on Sion. :P[/quote]

[quote=ShenMasterFlash]Piggybacking on this thread: Just curious, how is Sion able to solo top effectively, especially up there against an udyr, cho, or irelia. He doesn't have any sustain until he gets his ult, which isn't really that much. His E actually COSTS health. Without building lifesteal, how can he stay in lane long enough to get sufficient farm, especiall since AD sion doesnt farm nearly as well as AP sion? I guess his E is a good farming tool, but he still needs to open himself up to alot of harass to use it.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]i'd say a philo stone would be good for the regen, considering his e is only 8 health anyway he can regen that just fine.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]You level shield in those lanes, run teleport, and take cloth armor 5 pots to start lane. Cau is right, you can certainly build a philo as well, I find myself doing that often. More than the HP, it allows you have your shiled ready more frequently, which can be equated to hundreds of hitpoints.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]that too because sion burns mana like a bitch.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy][[phantom dancer]]+[[trinity force]]+[[force of nature]] give you epic movement speed^^. Don't forget this. Well, [[hextech gunblade]] could be also a funny item for sion.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]i wouldn't say funny it considering his ratios i would say its a very good item for him. he just needs some as though.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]I just replace it with my [[Phantom Dancer]]^^. That way, my shield is bigger(means more defence), but I deal also more damage and have more lifesteal. And a slow, if [[trinity force]] fails to proc^^. Could be hybrid [[sion]] the most usefull [[sion]]? Hey, what would happen, if you give [[sion]] the old passive of kayle^^. BTW: Which masteries do you use at sion?[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]AS reds, Armor/Mregen Seals/per level seals, MR/MR per level glyphs, ArPen Quints or vice versa. Hybrid Sion isn't that great imo...just pure ad or pure ap is better imo. Guinsoo's might be ok for him though. Most important thing for Sion is AS cause you already have E.[/quote]
