And I do agree with the guide feeling a bit compressed, I'd add a bit more text to some sections.

Okay, I understand this guide now, thx for answering my questions. Rod of Ages is needed for land sustain because if the enemy like Orianna could poke you. Hmm...can you put a "Match-up" Section?
There is one in my old guide, but I didn't like it to much but it can help you until I make something better for this guide. Likely I will add something more like a gameplay mechanics first to know your strengths and weaknesses but as I collect more data I may be able to put in a full matchup section.

Rod of Ages has some useful health and AP benefits but if I'm doing really well and haven't built a full Rod of Ages yet then I will often sell the healing crystal for another item.

You convinced me xD, well 1 more question, should we sell the Rod of Ages in later game because its passive has no more use since Annie reach her max level.

You can't expect to burst down every possible opponent. That's why farming is the main objective for collecting gold. Yes, you can build burst and do possibly better then focusing completely on farm but you kills are not guaranteed. The only guaranteed way to earn gold is to farm.

Just generally not. You want to be able to burst down your opponents before they do anything at all.

So is it that we could build the Rod of Ages or not depends on situation?

Cloth Armor + 5x Health Potion start is important to mention if you are going against AD mid.
No, Rod of Ages isn't core item of Annie anymore. I'd much rather rush Abyssal Mask or Rabadon's Deathcap or Deathfire Grasp.
If you are burst mage why would you take Liandry's Torment?
Mejai's Soulstealer is NOT an option.
Why would you take Artificer if you don't have any kind of active items in your core?
I'd much rather guard blue buff than stack up my passive tbh.
Many mids can take Barrier now because it counters some burst champions.
G'day
Me.
