You should include a 6th item which can boost your AP from 270 to about 400. Imo, 270 is much too little AP for Malzahar.
And yes getting void staff first won't really show significant damage since I doubt no one will take MR as their first item.

I haven't gotten any numbers yet or tested. But I think since his spells are DoT spells he gains life over a period of time as they are running scared as hell from you because you just poured out some damage. And If (haven't played malzahar in like a week so my memory is foggy) this does work you can just use Malefic Visions on them, and it causes them to slow because of RCS and your also healing. Good escape. Anyways. If you wanna test it, feel free. o.0 Im having way too much fun with Kayle and Olaf atm.

Sry for typo, yes i know 15% not 15 flat. i just thought obvious :P

I just find spell vamp still way underpowered. Lifesteal is good coz you tend to hit 2 times per sec for nice damage (good items but not fed = about 500 damage crits)
Its totaly impossible to deal that amount of sustained dps as a caster so even if spell vamp gets stacked (tried it on many casters lately) does not help much.

The only champs i find spell vamp usefull are:
Katarina and her VERY LOW CD ulti.
Kennen AP
Akali.

So far casters like Annie, Ryze, Veigar tend not to benefit from this stat at all.
This is my personal observation.

Could you please tell me what spell vamp is????
i am quite a noobie sorry, but i need to know

Spell Vampirsm, I think you got the idea now already.
It's Lifesteal with spells... nuff said.

@DEWO
15 Magic Penetration from Masteries? You do know that depends heavily on the total Magic Resist, it's only 15% and most of the time people only have around 30 - 60 Magic Resist early game (Sometimes the whole game). You'll get around
4,5 - 9 Magic Penetration from it usually.

X(Enemies Magic Resist) <Times> 0.15(Archaic Knowledge) = Y(Magic Penetration on your Enemy)

ok i took a look XD
But since i didnt played this champ i can not give any good feedback on this char tho.
TBH it looks wierd.
1st of all Void staff early game is useless imho. Noone would go so much magic res to make it vital. You have 15 Mpen from masteries and 8.55 from runes (could swap quits for mpen as well). this is enaugh early game imho.

On soulstealer, i find him a great char for it. His spells are also AoE, (voidling melee's count on your assists as well) You should be getting at least alot of assists with him making soulstealer quite vital (i think). also I find DFG EXTREMALY effective on that char. Additional nuke on use is realy nice for him to get 100% sure kills.

I like the Banshee idea, it takes quite alot of time for him to deal full damage with ulti while you are very vurneable to enemy (you are disabled while channeling) so banshee can work good against a stun or silence just like on Nunu.

I skip void staff alot. In my guide I said it could be put off till later. Most games I won't even have it because I prefer to get Zhonya's. I have tried soulstealer, It just hasn't worked that well. I might give it some more tries. Yea I get alot of assists.

And yes the banshee's is great. Getting knocked out of your ultimate sucks. Has happened to me several times. Which is why I'm trying a jungling sort of technique during mid game now. Been hiding out in bushes near a very likely gankable target and then picking off the champions as they come through the woods. Works out pretty well. I did have one bad experience where I caught a twitch and then Teemo came and knocked me out of my ult. Anyways thanks for looking cause I value your opinion ^_^

Also I will say once again. If you are going to -1 my guide please post a reason.

I would get something else other than a haunting guise. The guise doesn't give spell vamp anymore since the last patch. And if you really want spell vamp you can get a Hextech Revolver, but 10% spell vamp still doesn't do much late game. But if your really want health you can get the Rod of Ages, but it would be better to get that sometime early game.

Well I don't think you read much of my guide. I already have Hextech Revolver Listed. I couldnt find an image for it unfortuantly. And I build it into Gunblade.

Thanks for the info on Haunting Guise. I will double check and then change it. I already know what I would switch out for it.

well i tried reading ur guide but when i see a whole bunch of small words on a page i really dont want to read so i just look at the item build, pictures, and read a little of the intro. Oh and why turn it into a gunblade? Does mal even need the attack damage?

I like to use it's Clickie. It deals 300 Magic Damage. Its pretty nice. And if you've poured out everything, summoner spells, skills, clickies, then yea. The extra dmg can help you pull of that kill. I have had Champions try and run away. Since I use Malefic Visions as my last in my combo, they are being slowed. Which makes it easy for me to ghost to then abd use my gunblade. If they STILL are alive, You Malefic Visions is probably off CD so you can use it to slow them some more and just auto attack them till you get the kill. This is the technique I use. Might not always work in ALL situations but it definately has gotten me some kills that otherwise I wouldn't have gotten.

One other reason, which probably wont sound like a big deal is just, that he is horrible at taking down towers (imo) so every little bit helps.

I understand that my guide has alot in it. I tried to make it as readable as possible. Using the images and whatnot. If I can think of some more ways to make it easier to read. I will. So sorry bout that.

Thank you for your questions and I hope I have answered them.
