I think gunblade is still much better on Akali. Most champions can't use the AD well enough, but she can.

WotA is **** atm.

Spectral Wraith is probably your best bet if you're playing a champion that wants revolver and you want to upgrade it into something.

Also I'm pretty sure Cass with spellvamp is okay (not sure if optimal anymore, mpen builds OP). If you were to get revolver, you'd either sell it later or upgrade to Spirit of the Spectral Wraith. As a nice bonus, you'll be able to clear blue and wraiths more easily. Woot!

EDIT: Btw, Twin Fang counts as an AoE ability when cast on a poisoned target because of its short cooldown, so it only gets 1/3 spellvamp.
Thanks to Janitsu for the sig!

Exactly what Luther said, Lifesteal is just much more effective than Spell vamp because it doesn't require you to use mana and since you can autoattack about every second, you make consistent use of lifesteal.

However, on sustained damage mages like Karthus, Vladimir, Cassiopeia, Fiddlesticks and much more, spell vamp can be really good. It's just that most of the time other items will be more important. Champions that have no mana costs and good sustained damage with spells make great use of it too ( Vladimir again, Kennen, Mordekaiser, Akali , etc.)

Cass with revolver is bad, even though you can spam the Twin Bite, her close range, and lack of escape make spell vamp almost stupidly bad on her, because she will die before she even gets any heal out of it, for example twin bites deals about 300 without ap bonus at level 9 (i think), you would get 12% of that, so i think thats about 30 life? you would die before that would matter honestly. Spell vamp is only really good on champions that can take that damage and heal themselves over a period of time so for example, Rumble is good with it. Swain is good with it. Vlad is good with it. These champions that can do burst but can also heal themselves exceptional well/tank exceptional well do good with it. I use spell vamp on assassins too but it depends on the assassin. For example Ahri does ok with it because of her passive, as does akali. Both are burst Assassin type mage characters. Keep in mind though that both have a passive that GIVES them spell vamp too.
Gave you a good laugh or helped? rep+ so i can know ;)

Thanks to TinyStar, Jhoi, Xiaowi, Virus, Bard and Arcana(eww)...for my signatures!

Elohell is like Irelia's stun: if your real level is equal or lower than the level you are in, you're STUNNED there forever. If your actual level is higher than the level you are in, you're just SLOWED in your way up.

basically burst mages dont usually take spell vamp because they dump all their damage out in about a second or so .. and even if they get a lot of heal during that period it dosnt really matter because after their burst is done... they have nothing to contribute in teamfights until their abilities come off CD... so buying something like a Zonya's Hourglass makes a lot more sense

by comparison and ADC does sustained damage throughout the fight and is more often the target of enemy team focus.. so getting sustained healing means - longer life and more damage dealt...

I'm sorry I skipped your post because it looked like a mini wall of text lols

but I disagree that Spell vamp is bad on Cassiopeia, it's just that Will of the Ancients kinda sucks atm and the jungler wtf item is just fcked up.

Yet it's so absurdly cost-efficient.
