Great first item, at that point health is very efficient to stop the enemy laner from destroying you and since I lately bring armor/lvl seals and mr/lvl glyphs to the lane, it lets my potential explode with the item. Also, as I already said, that shield basically autowins you the lane if used right.

I am currently divided between Sunfire Aegis and this. The Cape is very good as a first item, it gives you all you need, plus a steady source of damage, just by standing near your opponent, while with the Sterak's Gage you have to use basic attacks. Besides, I don't like it giving PURE health (as in, not giving any resistances) and I am not sure if the shield compensates for it. I will have to test it as 1st item, tho. I am having a lot of trouble squeezing this item into my guide T_T

tbh, Sterak's Gage seems rather meh as first item (at least from a theorycraft perspective) because everything except the flat health scales with levels and/or other items. As a first item, you won't get as much power/stats as you would compared to other items, not counting the passive. And hulking out can probably turn an all-in pretty easy, but I stil feel it would be most useful as a 2nd item. As a second item you'd have enough levels/base AD and health to really abuse the SMASH! time.
Like I said though, this is purely from the eyes of someone who hasn't played in 3 weeks.

But Sterak's Gage also scales negatively with levels as it pops easier the earlier you get it. You maybe get less out of it early, but early, flat health in general is stronger than later.

Sterak's gage is better after you have dat Triforce completed.
90% of people I've asked the question answered me with this. What about champions who don't want to build Sheen and don't benefit from it (like TANKS)? C'mon, take those flaps off, I am pretty sure there are situations where you'd want an item like this, no?

I could also be wrong, though... not sure.
