there are times where i put points in expanded mind but for the most part im so farmed when i play brand i dont need the added experience. and i go for the void stalf first because people usually stack MR against me so i would rather burn threw that with a void stalf then gain more AP that they can just block you know and also i dont get buffs very often. i dont have a typical play style and i dont realize that at times. thanks for the input i may ad on to this build and make it more for people with a regular playstyle

I say flash and ignite are awesome summoner spells.
Flash is a great Escape/Chase spell, that if used wisely can get u places
Ignite gives that additionally burst damage that will take out enemies much faster

For your Masteries
I would take the points from Expanded Mind and instead put them in Utility Mastery and Quickness
That extra buff duration will be helpful. Speed allows you to move quickly for dodging/helping in cs/etc.
Also I would take the Rabadon's Deathcap first before Void Staff. deathcap gives u great amount of AP which will allow you to produce more damage early on. Also ppl won't have much MR early in the game

Need a bit more explanations, but I understand you don't have much time during work :P

ya i did this on my break at work lol. it was kinda half ***ed but the build works.

I'd say it's not a half bad guide. It needs a bit more detail but otherwise you have a pretty good build. I think you should explain more how you use this build as well as some strategies. Also I don't really think Brand needs Ignite. Conflagration works pretty much the same. I find he's a bit squishy and if he gets caught in a gank he doesn't have very many escape tools. Which is why I don't think Flash is quite enough. But if you think one escape tool is enough that's fine but don't pick Ignite. In my opinion for Brand it is a waste of a summoner spell.
