Sooo this is my build of Brand, i like him as a AP champ.

Brand is a combo depended skill shotter, A full combo can lead to insta kill.
Brand's passive is Ablaze, hit your enemies with an skill and theres blazed, it deals damage per second and gives your other skills and extra bonus

Pros:
- Very high damage
- Great farmer
- Multi target spells


Cons:
- Combo depended
- Skill shotter
- Low mana pool early game

I always start with a Tome and a health potion, After earning 1100-1910gold i go back to buy Sorcerer shoes and Mejai's soulstealer and start stacking up the SS.

Try to get rabadons fast as possible that will give you an huge advantage mid-late game.

Combined with the Mpen runes and shoes, i go for a void staff for even more Mpen this will give you like 70 Mpen.

Next item you will go for is Rod of Ages for the bonuses it gives, or if you feel for it go for an Archangel staff, if you mean you need more mana.

If theres time get a Lich Bane, with this your bonus att will do over 1k, so if someone survives your combo you finish them off with lich bane

Sear: Great skill with alot damage, but you gotta be good to aim to use it

Pillar of Flame: Great farming skill use with combined with Conflagration

Conflagration: Single target based skill, but if targets are already blazed it will spread

Pyroclasm: Your ultimate, some of the most awesome ulti i ever seen, make sure your target is blazed so it will chase faster. does extreme nice damage and can hit the same target 3 times!
