Guys, Sivir doesn't need Manamune!

[quote=Considereth]Use Spell Shield correctly and she has no mana issues, even early game. Get some mana seals and she is ready to go. Early game you have mana issues if you play incorrectly. You shouldn't spam her Ricochet at all. Ricochet pushes the lane forward which makes you an easy gank. Basically all you should be doing is last hitting and throwing Boomerang Blade to deny them last hits. So why do I see it on every high-rated sivir build? She needs to rush a B.F sword as soon as possible. Explain! x.x[/quote]

[quote=Zeprido]You are assuming that you will always have a spell cast on you to block with spell shield. What do you do when you go for the entire early game without a single spell cast on you? you obviously need mana... I'd probably still go for the Manamune since it's almost equivalent to a BF sword.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]It's better than a BF sword even..[/quote]

[quote=Considereth]But is it better than what a b.f sword upgrades too? I've been playing a lot of sivir in ranked and I usually do not have any mana issues. If you do not block a single spell the whole game you are one lucky sivir because they are letting you basically free auto attack them to death lol. I like starks fervor but lately I've been using phatom dancer because of the fact the movement speed is so damn good along with everything else. Movement Speed Quints + On the Hunt + Phantom Dancer + Spell Shield = LOL! Here what I'm usually doing with her: Doran's Blade > Berseker Boots > Bloodthrister > Phantom Dancer and than everything else is situational. Am I being focused? Banshee Veil! Am I chasing a lot? Frozen Mallet! Are they stacking armor? Last Whisper! Do I need more damage? Another Bloodthrister! I tired Warmog's/Atma Sivir but I feel like you neglect her damage output far too long if you go with that. I like bloodthrister for the survivability in life stealing. I don't know if it is worth giving it up for an I.E. I'm going to continue to test things with her. The thing that really impressives me about her is she is good throughout the whole game. She has no weak phrases. She crushes our laning phrase with her Q and E. She pushes turrets like a boss and does great AoE damage in team fights. She is seriously a freakish beast. o.o[/quote]

[quote=Freki]What will you do when you face a panth, and he will send half of his shots on creeps, just to make you waste your cd ? :) Same goes for a lot of spammers, kass and so on...[/quote]

[/quote] Manamune isn't going to help you there. I personally thing if YOU yourself can't correct your own spell shield timing, then you should use a manamune until you improve. If you know what you're doing then mana shouldn't be a problem at all.[/quote]

[quote=Considereth]I played against a pantheon in ranked last night and owned him middle lol. Spell Shield his stun, move to the side, q him, repent. If you suck, manamune isn't going to save you against a pantheon, usually a good one. I haven't got to play against a kass as sivir middle yet so I'm not going to comment on that. Right on B-Wrong! :)[/quote]

[quote=Considereth]What I am having trouble deciding is whatever or not I should get Phantom Dancer or Black Cleaver after bloodthrister. Phantom Dancer has amazing attack speed/critical strike/and my beloved movement speed. Black Cleaver has more damage output/shred armor/and attack speed. The great sivir debate! @_@[/quote]

If I'm killing hard then I'll kill harder with a Black Cleaver.[/quote]
