Ezreal: AD, AP, or Hybrid?

[quote=Trojan995][quote=Delandel] I don't have any mana/5 runes yet. I've been told that a full set fixes all of AD Ezreal's mana issues so I'm working on it. Until then though, I'm running into mana issues if I try to harass in my lane. What's the least painless fix to this? Clarity? A dip in the utility tree (I'm level 23 and all points into Offense atm) for Meditation? Maki Pendant as my first item? Manamune? Something else? [/quote] A great option is to get a [[Catalyst the Protector]] early on and turn it into a [[banshee's veil]] once you need some more MR (and the spell shield).[/quote]

[quote=Yumyumhungry]Hey I'm new to ez and I can't find a build that has some oomf behind it that doesn't leave me incredibly squishy. Currently I'm going sheen-->boots--->phage--->brutalizer-->TF--->banshees--->bloodthirster Also I'm using MR, Mpen, and Mp5 runes with movement quints for kog For ez would I build MR, armor pen, Mp5 and armor pen quints? I think that might give me a good bit more damage and allow me to cut out the brutalizer in my build[/quote]

Masteries: 9/0/21 Runes: ArP marks, armor seals, MR glyphs, MS quints. MrP marks are just bad on AD Ez.. Items: [[Doran's Blade]]->[[Tear of the Goddess]]->[[Boots of Speed]]->[[Manamune]]->MR or CDR boots->[[Vampiric Scepter]]->[[Sheen]]->[[The Brutalizer]]->[[Madred's Bloodrazor]]->[[Banshee's Veil]]->Sell Brutalizer->[[Trinity Force]]->[[The Bloodthirster]] or [[Hextech Gunblade]]. [[The Brutalizer]] is the best pure physical damage item you can get early on. [[Mystic Shot]] deals 4% of enemy HP in magic damage with [[Madred's Bloodrazor]].[/quote]

[quote=Booshido]im trying to see how well i do with manamune games and having flat armour seals and flat m.resis glyphs armour pen marks, AD quints. [icon=doran's blade] [icon=boots of speed] [icon=sheen] [icon=ionian boots of lucidity] [icon=manamune] [icon=the bloodthirster] [icon=banshee's veil] [icon=last whisper] [icon=trinity force] hmm.... just feels like id rather have an infinity edge then a manamune lol[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Rushing that [[Manamune]] really is a better choice than going for [[Sheen]] first. You'll stack up faster and get way more damage with normal attacks. [[Last Whisper]] isn't needed. [[Madred's Bloodrazor]] is a better choice.[/quote]

[quote=Booshido]bloodrazor really doesnt help that much anymore, rather go wits end or even SotD, rushing a sheen or a brut or even both is too good, early sheen your q is doing 300dmg or so to the enemy. not sure how much dmg id lose out not building a lastwhisper, i want a decent amount of AD for his ult to be bit more useful, though it is magic dmg so last whisper wont help with the pen. o and ive been back to ultily countless times, yes its nice cd and movespeed is pro with the quints, but early game offence masteries are 100x better[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Booshido] bloodrazor really doesnt help that much anymore, rather go wits end or even SotD[/quote] Bloodrazor deals like 3 times the damage Wit's End does.. [quote]rushing a sheen or a brut or even both is too good, early sheen your q is doing 300dmg or so to the enemy.[/quote] More like 250dmg without enemy armor, but yea, you do get really good early damage. Though I find that focusing too much on early power can have bad results too. [quote]not sure how much dmg id lose out not building a lastwhisper, i want a decent amount of AD for his ult to be bit more useful, though it is magic dmg so last whisper wont help with the pen.[/quote] You get 10 more AD with LW than with MBR, but MBR deals more damage than LW, even on [[Mystic Shot]]. You also get the 40%AS and the 25 armor as a little bonus. [quote]ive been back to ultily countless times, yes its nice cd and movespeed is pro with the quints, but early game offence masteries are 100x better[/quote] Not that much better, but they are much more useful early on tho. But I usually don't gear all into early power. Having 21utility with defensive runes help a lot with early farming.[/quote]

[quote=Booshido]Blade > Manamune > CD Boots > Vamp Scepter > Sheen > Brut > Bloodrazor > Banshee > Sell Brut > Tri Force > Gunblade. Sum Spells Ignite Exaust / Ghost flash 21 9 0 / 9 0 21 Arp pen marks, flat armour seals, flat mresis, AD / Movespeed / A.Pen gotta try this after food. :] ive mixed those items up so much apart from gunblade already >< so 100% for manamune? having regen runes gives you slot for somehting epic like I.E[/quote]

[quote=animorte]I started off seeing how most people were all about AP Ezreal. Then I kinda did my own thing and decided I liked AD better (and as a noob, posted a fail build on here, very soon after was archived). I started to get better and try him hybrid. I also got used to playing AP again. In short, I can play Ezreal successfully AD, hyrbid, or AP. But usually the extent of hybrid is Guinsoo's and/or Hextech. Then I tend to go more for one side. I do absolutely love jumping at the enemy and spamming all my abilities in under two seconds. And for some reason they back the phuk up. :P [i](I prefer AD on most ocassion.)[/i][/quote]

[quote=Searz]@animorte Hybrid is CRAP, AP is ok and AD is good. That's a fact.[/quote]
