thank you for actually listening to your comments and changing accordingly.

as I agree with this I only built 2 roa on tank maokai for the hitpoints and the mana. the abilety power is needed for maokai to be able to deal damadge and not be a worthless off tank.


lich bane in my opinion is not a viable idea for you not deal damage with physical attacks



I agree with your first statement that I should replace one of the roa with a rylai's but with your second I disagree because it is needed for early game sustain in lane. without it I constantly run out of mana in lane.


I have updated the guide accordingly

idk 3 roa ? mmmm is bad but maybe u should put 1 lich bane !!

One RoA is definitely a great item for Maokai. He obviously benefits greatly from the health and mana and ability power scales very well on him. Its passive also allows him to camp around in the lane for basically as long as he wants. However, I don't think I would ever get more than one on him (other items are just better, maybe a Rylai's instead). Also, Clarity is total ****. It's not even a viable option when you're going mana regen runes and getting a RoA or some other mana item.

stacking RoA is not a tank build. im sorry. there are better items to look at if you have mana problems for a tank. like Frozen Heart, or Chalice of Harmony for early game harass. it doesnt even work that well for mage in my opinion. yes, the full power of it is nice, but you have to wait 20 minutes for each one to even get that. there are other AP items that, while not giving you as much as its max stats, still give you great stuff. i reccommend trying abbysal scepter, as well as looking into a WotA.
